The well-known South African performer Costa Tsobanoglou, also known as Costa Titch, has died.
Rapper "Big Flexa" reportedly passed away on Saturday while dazzling festivalgoers at the Ultra Music Festival in Johannesburg.

The story was confirmed by South African media personality Phil Mphela late Saturday night via Twitter.
Costa Titch, RIP, Mphela stated in a tweet. Costa Tsobanoglou, a dancer and artist who was born in Nelspruit, has died. He was 27."
With singles like "Big Flexa," "Nkalakatha," and "Activate," Titch gained popularity for his contribution to the Amapiano genre.

After his colleague Kiernan Forbes, alias AKA, was shot and killed in February, Costa's passing is yet another devastating loss for the South African music business.
