Christopher Boykin may have earned fame thanks to his MTV show Rob & Big, but he had plenty of things going on away from the world of television. Along with being the father to a daughter Isis, who was nine years old at the time of his passing, Boykin also had another business venture to his name.
Boykin was responsible for launching a clothing line in 2007 that he called Big Black, according to Celebrity Net Worth. He expanded the brand in 2012 with an offshoot that featured a line of men’s plus-sized apparel called BDP or Big Dime Pieces. TMZ reported that at the time of Boykin’s passing, he was considering relaunching the line after he had paused licensing the items, but the plan was thrown into question with his death.
Boykin’s’ personal manager, Mark Shin, told TMZ that Boykin “was the heart and soul of the brand,” which meant that “there were questions whether it could continue without him.” That’s perhaps why the brand continues to remain quiet at the moment — and may remain just a memory that was a part of Boykin’s legacy.
