Benjamin Zephaniah Cause Of Death REVEALED, TRY NOT TO CRY | He Knew It😭😭

Benjamin Obadiah Iqbal Zephaniah (né Springer; 15 April 1958 - 7 December 2023) was a British writer, dub poet, actor, musician and professor of poetry and creative writing. He was included in The Times list of Britain's top 50 post-war writers in 2008. Described as "the people's laureate" by the Birmingham Mail, Zephaniah drew on his lived experiences of incarceration, racism and his Jamaican heritage to encourage a wide range of audiences to engage with his creative works.
Zephaniah won the BBC Young Playwright's Award and was awarded at least sixteen honorary doctorates. A ward at Ealing Hospital was named in his honour. His second novel, Refugee Boy, was the recipient of the 2002 Portsmouth Book Award in the Longer Novel category. In 1982 he released an album, Rasta, which featured the Wailers performing for the first time since the death of Bob Marley, as well as a tribute to Nelson Mandela. It topped the charts in Yugoslavia, and due to its success Mandela invited Zephaniah to host the president's Two Nations Concert at the Royal Albert Hall, London, in 1996. As an actor, he had a major role in the BBC's Peaky Blinders between 2013 and 2022.
A committed vegan and animal rights activist, he self-identified as an anarchist and supported changing the British electoral system from first-past-the-post to alternative vote.
In 2003 he was offered appointment as an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) but publicly rejected the honour, stating that: "I get angry when I hear that word 'empire'; it reminds of thousands of years of brutality. #benjaminzephaniah #peakyblinders
