Constantinos Tsobanoglou AKA Costa Titch, died during his performance at Ultra Music Festival in Johannesburg this weekend. Pearl Thusi joined the many celebs who mourned the 28-year-old musician, dancer and rapper.
"Costa, bro?????" she started out her post.
"It’s wild when you’re making plans with someone, getting to know them… and then this happens. This is so confusing - you’ve been championing me through one of the wildest decisions I’ve made. I’m not sure how I’ll do this without you?? I told everyone “I’ll be fine! Costa said he’s gonna hold my hand through the roll out!” Damn… I took too long… f*ck," a regretdul Pearl wrote.
She then spoke about his character, "Always kind, funny, encouraging, supportive and a true creative. I hope however I roll that plan out now … I make you proud and you guide me. Because you promised Habibi! I should have gotten you those AirTags myself.
"We were still meant to meet and chop it up about Kiernan and how you’re /we’re coping. Busy schedules got in the way. I assumed I had tomorrow, next week, next month… we’ll keep that green light on. Love to the TITCH GANG, his close friends & his family. Costa was a real one. Thank you for sharing him with us. This is so difficult to process because you’d given everything and yet you still had so much to give. Rest in Power bro. Wild that you lived and transcended to the sound of your own music - as I try and find something good to hold on to at this time- that seems to come up. You loved what you did till the very end. We’re proud of you, your work and your heart," Pearl said ending it off with his popular songs Nkalakatha, big flexa.

Costa Titch had a vision that I knew for sure would take over the music industry globally and was on his way to doing just that when god’s plan intervened. It’s been a sad day but what makes me feel better is that I know he died doing what he loved doing the most in this world. God bless you COSTA!!!!!
