Fatman Scoop has died aged 53 after collapsing at his concert on Friday in Connecticut, his representative has told the BBC.

He was halfway through his set at the Town Center Park in the city of Hamden when he collapsed on stage.

Mayor Lauren Garrett said in a post to Facebook that the rapper was taken to a local hospital by ambulance.

But his booking agency, MN2S, confirmed his death in a statement to the BBC, saying the New York native's "legacy will live on through his timeless music".

"Scoop was a beloved figure in the music world, whose work was loved by countless fans across the globe," an agency spokesperson.

"His iconic voice, infectious energy, and great personality made an indelible mark on the industry."

In a tribute on social media, Scoop's family said he was "a radiant soul, a beacon of light on the stage and in life."

"FatMan Scoop was not just a world class performer, he was a father, brother, uncle and a friend," his family said.

"He was the laughter in our lives, a constant source of support, unwavering strength and courage."
