South African rapper and songwriter Costa Titch has collapsed and died during a performance at a music festival in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The 27-year-old was performing at the Ultra South Africa music festival on Saturday when he took a tumble before being helped up by a bodyguard.

He briefly resumed his performance but fell moments later as the people on stage rushed to his aid.

The cause of the Amapiano star's death is still unknown.

Born Costa Tsobanoglou, his most successful single, Big Flexa, propelled him into stardom

He performed twice in Uganda last year, at the Club Dome Concert at the Lugogo Cricket Oval and at a party to usher New Year’s Day at Garden City.

This is the latest tragedy to hit the South African music industry after February’s fatal shooting of rapper Kiernan Forbes, also known as AKA, in a Durban restaurant.
