Fatman Scoop’s ex-wife has broken her silence on his death<\/p>\n
\nThe ‘Be Faithful’ hitmaker – whose real name was Issac Freeman III – collapsed while performing at Hamden Town Center Park in Connecticut on Friday (30.08.24), before he was rushed to hospital and confirmed dead aged 53.<\/p>\n
\nHe and Shanda, who were married for 13 years, famously featured on the MTV reality show ‘Man and Wife’ in 2008.<\/p>\n
\nSharing a series of pictures with the late rapper on Instagram, she wrote: “We made history. We were the FIRST. I’m heartbroken. I love you. Always.”<\/p>\n
\nMissy Elliott led the celebrity tributes \u2013 saying his voice made people want to dance for more than 20 years.<\/p>\n
\nThe 53-year-old hip-hop star posted to X: \u201cPrayers for Fatman Scoop family for STRENGTH during this difficult time (praying hands emoji.)\u201d<\/p>\n
\nMissy worked with Scoop on her hit 2005 hit \u2018Lose Control\u2019, and added alongside a photo of her late friend dressed in all-white: \u201cFatman Scoop\u2019s VOICE and energy have contributed to MANY songs that made the people feel HAPPY and want to dance for over 2 decades.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cYour IMPACT is HUGE and will be NEVER be forgotten\u2026 (flying dove and praying hands emojis.) (sic)”<\/p>\n
\nHis tour manager, Birch Michael, confirmed the sad news and admitted he was \u201clost for words\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nHe said in a social media tribute: “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.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nDisturbing footage of Scoop\u2019s on-stage medical emergency emerged before Birch\u2019s statement and showed screams ringing out from fans as the rapper clambered onto a DJ platform before disappearing from view as a medical team raced to revive him. <\/p>\n
\nHe was then filmed slurring words and fighting for breath before he collapsed.<\/p>\n
\nAuthorities were dispatched to the scene around 8.33pm, and the rapper was wheeled out of the venue on a stretcher to hospital where he received emergency treatment before dying.<\/p>\n
\nScoop is a three-time Grammy award winner and had recently gone into podcasting and reality TV.<\/p>\n
