I’ll admit it. I don’t know nuch about rap, or Costa Titch. In fact, they only reason why I’m writing this is because he becomes the latest 20 something year old to “die suddenly” after collapsing on stage during a music festival. Gee, I wonder what could have possibly caused this? Usually it’s athletes dying suddenly all of a sudden. But apparently now even music and rap acts are too.
Rapper Costa Titch, 28, died this weekend after collapsing at a Johannesburg music festival Saturday, according to an Instagram statement by his family. No cause of death was immediately announced.
“Death has tragically knocked at our door. Robbing us of our beloved son, brother, and grandson. Constantinos Tsobanoglou (28), whom South Africa had come to love and idolize under his stage name “Costa Titch,” the family wrote on the rapper’s Instagram page.
Costa Titch was performing at the Nasrec Expo Centre when he fell over onstage, according to Cape Town Etc. An individual rushed to help the rapper who briefly regained his footing before collapsing again.
“It is with deep pain that we find ourselves having to acknowledge his passing at this time. We are thankful for the emergency responders and all those present in his last hours on this earth,” the family continued.
