Oliver Grant, widely known as “Power,” has passed away at the age of 52 following a battle with pancreatic cancer.
According to a joint statement released by his family and the Wu-Tang Clan to Rolling Stone on March 1, 2026, Grant died on February 23 after what was described as a “courageous and hard-fought battle” with the disease. He was surrounded by his mother, children, and close friends at the time of his passing.
Grant was a co-founder and executive producer of the legendary Staten Island collective and played a pivotal role in helping build the Wu-Tang brand into a cultural powerhouse. Beyond music, he was instrumental in expanding the group’s reach into film, merchandise, and other business ventures that helped solidify Wu-Tang’s lasting legacy.
His passing marks a significant loss not only for the Wu-Tang family but for Hip-Hop culture as a whole.
