Rapper Fatman Scoop said nine final words to a DJ after he collapsed on stage at a Connecticut concert and later died, according to NBC Connecticut.

DJ Bink-B, who was performing with 53-year-old Fatman Scoop, at the August 30 concert told NBC Connecticut what the rapper said after collapsing onstage.

“He looked out at me and said he was like ‘Bink. Keep the music on. Keep the music on.’ That’s how much he loved entertaining people,” DJ Bink-B told the television station, which reported that Scoop, who was born Isaac Freeman III, was responsive after the collapse — which occurred out of the view of the audience, according to The New York Post.

The Post also reported that Scoop received chest compressions while other performers led the audience in prayer before Scoop was taken to a hospital, where he was announced dead the following day.

According to UK Mirror, a video shows that Fatman Scoop’s last words before he collapsed on stage and spoke to the DJ were: “I said Hamden make some noise!” He then added, “If you came to party, make some noise.”

The site reported that the rapper seemed to be slurring his words and was out of breath. He then “collapsed onto the stage and dropped his mic onto the ground,” the site reported. No cause of death has been announced, according to multiple reports.
