Peace! On behalf of the Grant and WuTang Family, It is with immeasurable grief that we confirm the passing of Oliver “Power” Grant.
Power transitioned on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, following a courageous and hard-fought battle with pancreatic cancer. A true fighter until the end, he was surrounded by his mother, his children, his family, and his closest friends.
Born November 24, 1970, in Staten Island, New York, the man the world knew as “Power”—and his oldest friends knew as “Pookie”—was a proud product of the Park Hill neighborhood. From those streets, he rose to become a visionary force, a pillar of the Wu-Tang family, and a global architect of culture.
It was the honor of his life to pour his love, wisdom, and brilliance into his family and his community. His impact was singular; there will never be another to take his place.
The Grant and Wu-Tang families are profoundly thankful for the overwhelming outpouring of love and support from around the world. As we navigate this period of deep mourning, we kindly ask for continued respect and privacy for the family.
We send peace and blessings upon his soul. Power will always be loved, and his legacy will forever remain.
“Greatness is not what you have, but what you give.”
Additionally, the WAKE will be March 13, 2026 and the FUNERAL will be March 14, 2026 in the New York City area. We will release exact location details closer to the service dates as we finalize securing the venues.
Rest In Power!!!
Wutang Forever!!!👐🏾🫡👐🏾🫡👐🏾
