According to an update from New York Post, New York City rapper and iconic hype man Fatman Scoop has passed away after suffering a medical emergency onstage. The “Be Faithful” MC was the headlining act at the Green & Gold Party in Hamden, Connecticut. Horror struck about an hour and change into his performance which was scheduled to begin around 7:15 p.m. last night. Scoop was walking around shirtless on the stage and eventually made his way behind the DJ’s booth. Seconds after doing so, the 53-year-old then suddenly fell behind the table and out of view of the spectators. Chest compressions were administered to Fatman Scoop, but sadly to no avail. According to TMZ Hip Hop the crowd quickly became silent and they said that authorities were sent out to help around 8:33 p.m.
After CPR didn’t do the trick, the rapper was carried out on a stretcher to a local hospital.
RIP FATMAN SCOOP!
