BREAKING: South African Singer Costa Titch Dies
South African Costa Titch has died. He was 27.
Costa Titch, real name Costa Tsobanoglou reportedly collapsed while performing at Ultra South Africa at the Expo Centre in Nasrec, Johannesburg.
According to unconfirmed reports on Twitter, he had a seizure while on stage before he fell and died.
Entertainment reporter Kgopolo Phil Mphela reported on Costa’s untimely demise.
“RIP: Costa Titch
Nelspruit-born artist and dancer, real name Costa Tsobanoglou, has passed away.
He was 27.
#RIPCostaTitch”
Costa’s team is yet to confirm the star’s death.
The Nelspruit-born artist entered the South African entertainment scene as a dancer. He was once a backing dancer for Cassper Nyovest before he decided to expand his craft to the mic, where the effort paid off.
He stormed onto the scene with the hit song Nkalakatha, which featured AKA and Riky Rick. The cover image of the hit song is trending on social media, and people are crushed that all the artists on that song are now dead.
Riky Rick took his own life in February 2022 while AKA was gunned down on 10 February 2023 in Durban on his way to his birthday celebration.
Last month, Costa Titch performed with Akon at Cotton Fest, where the Senegalese music legend also inducted the talented dancer to his record label, Konvict Music.
South Africans on Twitter are heartbroken over the death of Costa Titch.

“What have we done? To who? Whatever is happening in South Africa right now, it’s not it. Costa Titch died after he had a seizure & collapsed on stage at Ultra. Costa entered entertainment industry as a dancer, but over time he transformed & became a rapper #CostaTitch #RIPCostaTitch.”
@CCC4lye:
“oh God, he had a seizure that must have been a bad one. Sad 😢 just wondering if he was already diagnosed because if you are epileptic, flashing lights at certain intensities or to visual patterns can trigger seizures. It’s known as photosensitive epilepsy just saying since he was on the stage.”
@_kamohelohloti:
“There’s some sort of Cult happening ka SA MUSIC INDUSTRY🤞🏾.
RIP Costa Titch 💚💚💚.”
