The legacy of the late award-winning rapper and dancer Costa Titch will continue to be celebrated. This time in the form of a block party.
Known for hits such as Big Flexa and Nkalakatha, Costa – whose real name is Costantinos Tsobanoglou – died suddenly on stage while performing at the ULTRA Musical Festival at the Nasrec Expo Centre in Johannesburg on 11 March 2023. His mother, Lara Langeveld, has since taken over his social media accounts following his passing.
Addressing his fans (the Titch Gang) on Instagram, a recent post shared news of a legacy celebration in honour of the late star on Friday, 26 January in Germiston.
