Fans of Fatman Scoop were left shocked and devastated when the popular rapper suffered a “medical emergency” on stage and died suddenly.
The rapper, whose real name was Isaac Freeman, collapsed on stage during a concert in Connecticut on Friday night and eventually died.
Freeman was just 53 years old.
According to Breitbart, Freeman died after suffering a “medical emergency” on stage at the concert in Hamden.
Video footage of the incident posted originally by TMZ showed the rapper warming up the crowd before performing.
However, he eventually collapsed with other people on the stage.
Many reportedly rushed to the state to administer CPR, and many in the crowd quickly realized what was happening.
In a Facebook post, radio station KBXX 97.9 The Box revealed that he had died, writing:
“Fatman Scoop has died after suffering a medical emergency at a show in Connecticut, according to his tour manager.”
“If you came to party, make some noise,” the rapper can be heard saying in the video as he walked around the stage.
He then climbed onto a platform at the back of the stage where he eventually collapsed.

After the rapper collapsed, another person on the stage attempted to distract the crowd.
However, it was obvious to most that an emergency situation was unfolding.
“I just wanna say this, Hamden, where y’all at, make some noise for me,” the person said, which didn’t work.
