On Saturday morning, Givens' brother and reality-TV co-star, Kamal "Chance" Givens, took to Instagram to announce the tragic news of his brother's death.

People reports Givens was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in 2013. Following his diagnosis, Givens spoke at the 2014 NY National Cultural Markets conference about his cancer discovery.

"I remember I was laying on the hospital bed and the doctor came in crying and when I saw her crying I knew it was something serious," he recalled. "My doctors thought I had, like, three days to live so they just zapped me with chemo. I left out of there with my veins burning and everything."

Givens' cancer was so aggressive that the tumors eventually spread to the left side of his brain and left him partially paralyzed on the right side of his body, says People.

"I had to learn how to walk again and everything," Givens said about his paralyzation. "I just have faith in God, man."

In addition to speaking publicly about his battle with cancer, Givens also documented his cancer battle on Instagram and posted videos of himself following chemotherapy every few weeks to keep his fans updated.

Givens' last Instagram post was published on Feb. 15. He captioned his photo with a loving message to his brother.

Here is a pic of my scar from surgery a couple months after,or shall I say my battle wound lol.This was the surgery where they removed tumors from my rectum and left side of my liver......So yesterday they took me off chemo completely cause none of it works anymore.So I have about 4 clinical trials to choose from which look really promising.My tumors have a rare mutation and supposedly they have new medicine to target the my tumors.Its suppose to stop the tumor mutation from spreading and shrink the tumors.So we will see.I don't let this stuff bring me down,I just roll with the punches.Love Yall and have a blessed day.
