Again, a South African rapper/musician, known as Costa Titch has died. The rapper died while performing on stage.
The musician, whose real name is Costa Tsobanoglou, reportedly collapsed while performing at the Ultra music festival on Saturday, 12 March 2023.
Costa, who is also a dancer, was born in Nelspruit, Mpumalanga in 1995 and is known for several hits, including Nkalakatha and Activate.
The news of Costa’s death was confirmed by entertainment commentator Phil Mphela on Twitter just before midnight and was followed by a string of sad reactions from industry colleagues.
Costa’s death comes after the loss of fellow rapper AKA, whose real name was Kiernan Forbes. AKA was shot outside a restaurant in Durban by unknown hitmen and the South African Police Service (SAPS) are still investigating the case.
Both Costa and AKA have collaborated on a song called Super Soft.
