According to ET, the 45 year old MTV star, Big Black, passed away Tuesday morning. As of this report there is no news as to the cause of death. TMZ reported that “multiple people connected to Chris… believe it was a heart attack.”

Big Black and skateboarder Rob Dyrdek were bestfriends and shared a show from 2006 to 2008 titled “Rob & Big.”

Boykin was also Dyrdek’s body guard. The series consisted of Boykin and Dyrdek going around breaking ridiculous records like eating three bananas in one minute.

Rob Dyrdek took to twitter yesterday to tweet his condolences out to his best friend, writing, “My heart is broken. I don’t want to write this post. I don’t want to believe that this is reality. I am so thankful for you.”

Boykin is survived by his 9-year-old daughter, Isis.
