R.I.P Big Black From MTV's "Rob & Big"

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

Christopher 'Big Black' Boykin, who was the other half of Rob Dyrdek's hit MTV show "Rob & Big" -- has died ... TMZ has learned.

His rep tells us Chris died Tuesday morning. No official cause of death yet, but multiple people connected to Chris tell us they believe it was a heart attack.

He was Rob's best friend and bodyguard on their reality show, which ran from 2006 to 2008 -- and also later appeared on 'Fantasy Factory.'

Before he was a TV star, Boykin served in the U.S. Navy. He's survived by his 9-year-old daughter.

Chris was 45.

I remember when the show aired he said his weight was like 415 at the time so we were about the same size except he was 2 inches taller. He lost weight after his daughter was born because like Lavelle Crawford said he wanted to live. Really hate to hear this. Prayers go out to his family and friends.
