NEW YORK: US rapper Fatman Scoop has died, his manager announced Saturday, after the 53-year-old artist suffered a medical emergency while performing on stage.
Scoop, best known for the hit tracks “Be Faithful” and “It Takes Scoop,” collapsed on stage at Hamden Town Center Park, Connecticut and was taken to hospital where doctors were unable to revive him, US media reported.
Medical staff apparently attempted to administer CPR while he was still on the stage, according to a video of the incident obtained by celebrity news site TMZ. He was then carried away on a stretcher.
Scoop briefly became embroiled in a political row in Australia in 2018 when the country´s then-prime minister Scott Morrison posted a clip that featured his hit “Be Faithful.”
Morrison, a conservative evangelical Christian, deleted the post after his critics said the entertainer´s lyrics were inappropriate and unparliamentary.
