"Be Faithful
" which went to number one in the UK

in late 2003 and top 5 in Australia
. The song has been a favorite in clubs
around the world for years but it took two years to clear the samples
from Jay-Z
, Black Sheep, Queen Pen
, The Beatnuts
and Faith Evans
.
. He also appears as himself on the TV series The Boondocks
(season 2, episode 5, "The Story of Thugnificent" and episode 15, "The Story of Gangstalicious Part 2", from the same season).
Fatman Scoop received his stage name after appearing in the Fugees 'Killing Me Softly' video as a cinema worker serving popcorn and ice-cream. Lauryn Hill
was a massive ice-cream fan herself so would shout 'scoop, scoop, fatman scoop' when she wanted a tub of her favourite snack. Lauryn Hill
and Pras
also made a spoof version of their most popular song, exchanging the lyrics 'killing me softly with his song' for 'filling my belly with popcorn'. Fatman Scoop was laughing for weeks.
