Hip-hop artist Fatman Scoop has died after collapsing on stage at a show Friday in Connecticut. The 53-year-old hype man known for club-ready collaborations topped charts in Europe with “Be Faithful” two decades ago and later lent his distinctive voice and ebullient vibe to hits by such artists as Missy Elliott and Ciara. The cause of his death isn't immediately clear. The mayor of the town of Hamden says he had a medical emergency while performing at a park there, and concertgoers and paramedics tried to aid him. He was taken to a hospital. His family calls him “a radiant soul” in an Instagram post Saturday confirming his death.
