In a tragic incident, South African rapper and songwriter Costa Titch collapsed and died at the Ultra South Africa music festival in Johannesburg.
The 27-year-old was performing one of his songs, when he collapsed on stage. Later, he stood up and continued his performance, only to collapse again and die.
Costa Tsobanoglou, better known as Costa Titch, was a rising artist from Mbombela, near the border with Swatini and Mozambique. His most successful single, Big Flexa, has received over 45 million views on YouTube, and a remix featuring US artist Akon was recently released.
A video has surfaced on the internet that shows the moment when Costa fell on stage but quickly regained his footing before fainting shortly after. The cause of his death is currently unknown.
