This is the shocking moment when rapper Fatman Scoop passed out on stage during a performance, just before he tragically died.
Upsetting video seemed to show the hip hop star getting CPR after passing out behind a DJ booth while his scared fans screamed.
The rapper, whose real name is Issac Freeman, was playing at Hamden, Connecticut’s Town Center Park when things went badly.
Freeman was seen talking to the crowd at the front of the stage without a shirt on. He then took a few steps back and hid behind the DJ booth.
The star kept trying to get people excited while bending forward over the mixing desk. He or she took a long pause after saying, “If you came to party…
“Make some noise.”
Later, Freeman stopped talking and fell to the ground.
As someone else stopped playing music and started talking to the crowd, emergency workers rushed over and began chest compressions.
“Offstage, there’s nothing going on.” “Heavy babies, get together in Hamden and make some noise for me,” the performer said.
There were screams from Freeman’s fans asking the performers if their idol was okay.
“Oh my god!” and “We want to know what happened to Fatman!” were shouted from the crowd.
Someone else at the concert screamed, “Is he okay?!”
Outside, they kept applying pressure to his chest while a fan shouted, “Lord, please touch him. Father, God touch him.”
It looked like Freeman was on a gurney outside the venue while emergency workers crowded around him in a different video.
The star was rushed to a nearby hospital on Friday night, but sadly died there two hours later.
His tour manager Birch Michael, who was also known as Pure Cold, told everyone on Saturday morning that he had died.
On Freeman’s official Instagram page, his sad family also wrote a heartbreaking tribute.
: “It is with profound sadness and very heavy hearts that we share news of the passing of the legendary and iconic FatMan Scoop.”
“Late last night, the world lost a beautiful soul who was a light on stage and in life.”
“FatManScoop was dad, brother, uncle, and friend; he was also a world-class performer.
“He was the laughter in our lives, a constant source of support, unwavering strength, and courage.”
The rapper’s family called him the “undisputed voice of the club” and said that his music made them “dance and face life with positivity.”
“His joy was infectious and the generosity he extended to all will be deeply missed but never forgotten,” it said.
“We’re sad about FatManScoop’s death, but we’re also happy about his amazing life and all the people he touched.”
“FatMan Scoop’s legacy is of love and brightness, it will reside in our hearts and memories forever.”
