US rapper Fatman Scoop dies after collapsing on stage mid-performance
New York-born artist, 53, known for collaborating with Missy Elliott, was performing in Connecticut on Friday
The New York-born artist, whose real name is Isaac Freeman III, was headlining the so-called Green & Gold Party in Hamden, Connecticut, when he had what was described as a medical emergency. “Fatman Scoop VOICE & energy have contributed to MANY songs that made the people feel HAPPY & want to dance for over 2 decades,” Missy Elliot said in a post on X. Fatman Scoop had an early hit in the UK and Ireland when a re-release of Be Faithful – which was produced by American hip-hop duo Crooklyn Clan – topped the charts in 2003.
