Ahmad Givens, known as "Real" from VH1's dating game show "Real Chance of Love," has died at age 33.

E! News reports that the rapper died after battling colon cancer for about two years.

Real's passing was announced on Saturday by his brother and co-star Kamal "Chance" Givens. Chance posted to his Instagram account in remembrance of his late brother. He says in the caption:

Real is survived by two other brothers, his mother, grandmother, his wife of four years, Racquel Givens, and their son, E! News says.

TMZ reports that Real was having difficulty seeing and speaking Friday night. His family says he passed away hours later.

The VH1 star was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in 2013, TMZ says. Real underwent successful surgery, but earlier this year the cancer returned.

Real appeared on VH1's "I Love New York" before starring with Chance on their spinoff, The Hollywood Reporter adds.
