Costa Titch, a South African artist known for his contributions to the Amapiano genre, has tragically passed away.
The rapper, whose real name is Costa Tsobanoglou, was performing at the Ultra Music Festival in Johannesburg on Saturday when he reportedly fell down on stage.
Despite being helped up by his bodyguard, he fell again and had to be carried off stage.
Phil Mphela, a prominent South African media personality, confirmed the news of Costa’s passing on Twitter, revealing that he was only 27 years old.
Costa’s most recent success was his signing with Akon’s record label, Konvict Kulture.
His death is a devastating loss for the music industry in South Africa, which is still reeling from the loss of Kiernan Forbes, also known as AKA, who was shot and killed in February 2023
