South African rapper Costa Titch’s cause of death shocked fans. He died after collapsing while performing at the Ultra Music Festival in Johannesburg on Saturday, March 11, 2023.
The 27-year-old, whose real name was Constantinos Tsobanoglou, passed away in the hospital after stumbling and then appearing to lose consciousness while performing.
“Death has tragically knocked at our door. Robbing us of our beloved son, brother, and grandson, Constantinos Tsobanoglou (28), who South Africa had come to love and idolize under his stage name ‘Costa Titch,'” his loved ones wrote.
The family added: “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.”
“As a family we are faced with a difficult time as we try to make sense of what has befallen us and ask that we be afforded the time and space to gather ourselves.
“The Tsobanoglou family thanks you for the love and support you have given to our son and may you continue to uplift him even in spirit. Please keep us in your prayers and uplifted in the Lord,” the statement read.
Before the rapper’s family released the statement confirming Titch’s death, footage circulated on social media of Constantinos Tsobanoglou performing at the Ultra Music Festival at the Nasrec Expo Centre in Johannesburg.
The singer was seen falling to the ground but he continued to perform and finished his track a few seconds later before falling for a second time.
