The festival held on Saturday, March 12 in Johannesburg, South Africa.
In videos shared on social media, the singer first collapsed while performing but continued after being picked up by his bodyguard and slumped again before being carried away.
Reports have it that the artist had a history of epilepsy and the lights on stage might have triggered the attack causing him to slump.
Cost Tich who sang the popular Big Flex song, died at 27-years, shortly after the death of his colleague, AKA.
