Known for the song "Big flexa", awarded with 45 million views on Youtube, Costa Titch was engaged in a concert in Johannesburg when he collapsed falling from the stage. The 28-year-old South African rapper died suddenly. The police have opened an investigation, while awaiting the autopsy that will allow to establish the cause of death. The artist was performing in the suburb of Nasrec when he first fell, promptly picked up by a band member, then stood still a few seconds later before collapsing off the stage. The musicians, together with the staff, immediately rescued him but there was nothing to do.

The death of Costa Titch, born Costa Tsobanoglou, comes a month after the murder of another famous South African rapper: Kiernan Forbes, known as Aka, shot dead outside a restaurant in Durban.
