The artiste, according to the family, suffered a medical emergency while performing on stage, prompting a wave of tributes from the world of hip-hop.

Scoop’s death was announced on Saturday by his family and manager after.medical experts couldn’t resuscitate the 53-year-old artiste after he collapsed.

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 immediately.

Medical staff apparently attempted to administer CPR while he was still on the stage but he was carried away on a stretcher to the hospital for better care.

In a post on his official social media handle, his family wrote that “it is with profound sadness and very heavy hearts that we share news of the passing of the legendary and iconic Fatman Scoop.”

“Fatman Scoop was known to the world as the undisputed voice of the club. His music made us dance and embrace life with positivity,” they wrote.

Scoop’s manager, Birch Michael, confirmed his death on through his social media account, writing: “I love you Scoop. Thank you so much for everything you gave to me.”

Radio host Shelley Wade posted a photograph of herself with Scoop, writing: “We are losing too many of our hip-hop legends too soon. Rest easy, Scoop.”

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.

“It’s quite clear that that is not a song on my playlist,” he later told reporters in Sydney.

The uproar prompted a response from Scoop, who tagged Morrison in an Instagram post saying: “I am humbled to have my voice rocking in the highest offices of the Australian Government!”

The rapper defended his lyrics: “It’s a fun PARTY SONG that has no NEGATIVITY or HARM in it!!” before extending Morrison a backstage invite to a festival appearance in Australia.
