According to unconfirmed reports on Twitter, he had a seizure while on stage before he fell and died.

Entertainment reporter Kgopolo Phil Mphela reported on Costa’s untimely demise.

“RIP: Costa Titch
Nelspruit-born artist and dancer, real name Costa Tsobanoglou, has passed away.
He was 27.
#RIPCostaTitch”

Costa’s team is yet to confirm the star’s death

The Nelspruit-born artist entered the South African entertainment scene as a dancer. He was once a backing dancer for Cassper Nyovest before he decided to expand his craft to the mic, where the effort paid off.

He stormed onto the scene with the hit song Nkalakatha, which featured AKA and Riky Rick. The cover image of the hit song is trending on social media, and people are crushed that all the artists on that song are now dead.

Riky Rick took his own life in February 2022 while AKA was gunned down on 10 February 2023 in Durban on his way to his birthday celebration.

He quickly made a name for himself in the South African music scene, thanks to his unique style of blending different genres such as hip hop, house, and electronic dance music (EDM). His music was not only popular in South Africa but also had a growing following across the continent and beyond.

Costa Titch’s passing is a huge loss to the music industry, particularly in South Africa, where he had become a household name. The young artist had just released his debut album, “Made in Africa,” in December 2022, which had received critical acclaim and was quickly climbing the charts. His talent and potential had no doubt made him one of the most promising young artists in the industry.

Tributes continue to pour in for the late artist, with many expressing their shock and disbelief at his sudden passing. Fans have shared memories of his music and performances, while fellow musicians have praised his talent and the impact he had on the industry.
