US rapper Fatman Scoop has died at age 53, his tour manager has announced.
Renowned rapper Fatman Scoop, real name Isaac Freeman III, has tragically passed away after suffering a medical emergency on stage. The news was confirmed by his friend and fellow musician Pure Cold on social media.
Scoop collapsed on stage during a performance in Connecticut, prompting immediate medical attention. Despite receiving CPR on stage, efforts to save the rapper’s life were unsuccessful.
Pure Cold and other friends and colleagues have shared heartfelt tributes to Scoop, praising his talent, mentorship, and impact on the music industry.
Pure Cold said: “It is with the heaviest of hearts I announce the passing of Isaac Freeman III, known professionally as Fatman Scoop. You taught me how to be the man I am today. I love you Scoop, thank you so much for everything you gave to me.”
He also wrote on Instagram: “I am honestly lost for words… You took me all over the world and had me performing alongside you on some of the biggest and greatest stages on this planet, the things you taught me have truly made me the man I am today.”
Scoop’s iconic voice and infectious energy captivated audiences worldwide, and his legacy will continue to inspire future generations. His smash hit “Be Faithful” was an iconic song in the early 2000s, making its way into homes, nightclubs, and gyms across the world.

The Starliner is set to leave its docking port at the ISS just after 6 p.m. ET, according to NASA, before spending about six hours free-flying through orbit as it slowly makes its descent toward home.
Close to midnight, the capsule is expected to reach one of the most important and treacherous legs of its test flight: reentry. The milestone will require the Starliner to carefully orient itself as it plunges into the thickest part of Earth’s atmosphere while still traveling at orbital speeds — typically more than 17,000 miles per hour (27,400 kilometers per hour.)
