The organisers of Ultra South Africa also issued a statement.
In it, the organisers said they were ‘devastated’ by Costa’s death, adding that ‘Costa was a vibrant presence in the South African ampiano genre and as a talented rapper, dancer, singer/songwriter and a familiar companion at the festival’. He states.
Costa was born in Nelspruit in north-eastern South Africa and was already well known as a dancer before becoming a rapper.
His song ‘Big Flexa’ became a hit, especially on TikTok, and has catapulted Costa to stardom across Africa.
