Christopher “Big Black” Boykin
Reality TV Star
January 13, 1972 – May 9, 2017
Christopher “Big Black” Boykin of the hit MTV reality show “Rob & Big” has passed away from an undisclosed cause according to multiple sources.
Boykin was best known as being the bodyguard and best friend to skateboarder and entrepreneur Rob Dyrdek. He starred alongside Dyrdek on the MTV show “Rob & Big” from 2006 – 2008. The hit reality series showcased the two friends’ day-to-day lives getting into mischief and going on adventures.
Prior to his TV fame, Boykin served in the US navy. He also launched his own clothing line “Do Work”, which was based off his signature catch phrase.
After tension between Boykin and Dyrdek caused their hit show to be cancelled, the two eventually repaired their friendship. Boykin later appeared in several episodes of Dyrdek’s subsequent shows “Fantasy Factory” and “Ridiculousness”.
He is survived by his 9-year-old daughter Isis.
After news of Boykin’s death broke, celebrities took to Twitter to express their condolences:
RIP @BigBlack. My heart is crushed. I'll remember all the times you made me laugh and my prayers go out to your family ❤️???

I appreciate a good trivia night, but my memory for celebrity birthdays is basically a sieve. This Krillion format sounds like a fun twist—the pressure of fifteen seconds plus the reward for an offbeat guess is a clever hook. I like that it rewards the weird corners of your brain. Might give it a spin when I need a break from the usual word games. Krillion | Daily Trivia Game Where Rare Answers Win

The “score” is the clever part—most browser games just give you a pat on the back. This one actually makes you commit to a performance. I appreciate that it’s not just about pitch matching; the character work matters. If you’re testing mics or warming up for a D&D session, it’s a solid distraction. Bookmarked it for the next time I need to procrastinate productively. Can Your Voice Win? Play The Choicer Voicer Online

It's always sad to hear about the loss of a talented personality like Big Black. Separately, I also came across scritchy scratchy which offers a different kind of entertainment with their incremental scratch-card game guides.

The Freak Circus The contrast between the cheerful circus music and the dark atmosphere genuinely freaks me out. You think you're at a fun carnival but then... nope, absolute horror.
