Although the cause of his passing has not been determined, Trugoy has previously spoken about his health problems, including congestive heart failure.
2017’s Royalty Capes music video features Trugoy the Dove talking about his health issues.
Trugoy has long battled congestive heart disease, which has impacted his career by requiring him to miss the majority of his De La Soul performances.
In the 2017 music video for De La Soul’s first single, Royalty Capes, Trugoy spoke about his heart problems.
At the movie, David is seen in his suburban Maryland home where he discusses his life and what it’s like to wear a vest to prevent congestive heart failure. In the video, David described the life jacket as a device that would shock him and bring him “back from the matrix.” He continued by saying that he missed touring and performing and was excited to be back on stage.
