Isaac Freeman III[1] (born August 6, 1971),[2] better known by his stage name Fatman Scoop, is an American rapper, hype man, and radio personality. Noted for his booming, raw vocal presence on various hip hop songs, he is best known for his guest performances on the 2005 singles "Lose Control" by Missy Elliott and "It's Like That" by Mariah Carey. The songs peaked at numbers three and 16 respectively on the Billboard Hot 100, while the former won the Grammy Award for Best Music Video and received a nomination for Best Rap Song. Prior, his 1999 sleeper hit single, "Be Faithful" (featuring the Crooklyn Clan) entered the Hot Rap Songs and Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs charts, and peaked the UK Singles Chart.[3]

Career[edit]

Fatman Scoop first came to prominence with the release of single "Be Faithful", which topped the charts in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland in October 2003, and peaked within the top ten of the charts in Denmark and Australia. The song had been a favorite in clubs around the world for years but it took two years to clear the samples from Jay-Z, Black Sheep, Queen Pen, The Beatnuts and Faith Evans.[citation needed] He has also collaborated with numerous artists, such as Lil Jon, Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, Pitbull and Skrillex, among others.

In 2004, he featured in the UK TV series, Chancers, broadcast on Channel 4, mentoring six British musicians trying to achieve success in the United States.[4]

In July 2006, a club promoter in New Bern, North Carolina sued the SheriffofCraven County, North Carolina after a 2003 concert held there was shut down by the sheriff due to a noise complaint. The suit asked for more than $10,000 (US$) in lost wages and punitive damages.[5]

Fatman Scoop also has his own ice cream parlor and relationship show/podcast. All episodes can also be seen on the Man and Wife channel on internet TV network, ONLOQ.com, as well as MTV.[6] He also appeared as himself on the TV series The Boondocks (season 2, episode 5, "The Story of Thugnificent" and episode 15, "The Story of Gangstalicious Part 2", from the same season); however since the show premiered, the relationship between Fatman Scoop and his wife soured and they subsequently divorced.

Fatman Scoop was interviewed by radio personality Madison Jaye in a YouTube video that was published on March 22, 2014. During the interview, Fatman Scoop reveals that he received his stage name when he was a baby from his Uncle Jack, who would call him "Fatman Scoop" because he loved to eat ice cream. People had thought that he received his stage name after appearing in the Fugees' "Killing Me Softly" video as a cinema worker serving popcorn and ice-cream. Lauryn Hill was a massive ice-cream fan herself so she would shout 'scoop, scoop, Fatman Scoop' when she wanted a tub of her favorite snack. But Fatman Scoop stated "I was already Fatman Scoop on the radio when that video came out."[7]

On August 27, 2015, he entered the Celebrity Big Brother 16: UK vs. USA house in the United Kingdom as a contestant. On September 14, he was the third housemate to be evicted, on day 20 where he finished in 11th place.
