Fatman Scoop, born Isaac Freeman III, tragically passed away at the age of 53 after collapsing mid-performance during a free concert in Hamden, Connecticut.

The New York City artist was headlining the “Green & Gold Party” at Hamden Town Center Park when he suffered a sudden and fatal medical emergency, according to The New York Post.

Eyewitnesses reported that the vibrant artist was performing energetically when he suddenly fell to the ground, prompting immediate action from concertgoers and paramedics.

“Tonight, while performing at Hamden Town Center Park, Isaac Freeman, aka Fatman Scoop, had a medical emergency on stage. He is being transported by ambulance to the hospital. We will provide updates when they are available. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers,” Mayor Lauren Garrett wrote on Facebook.

Despite efforts to revive him, he was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The exact cause of his death has not yet been determined.

His family wrote in an Instagram post Saturday:

It is with profound sadness and very heavy hearts that we share news of the passing of the legendary and iconic FatMan Scoop.

Last night, the world lost a radiant soul, a beacon of light on the stage and in life.

FatManScoop was not just a world class performer, he was a father, brother, uncle and a friend.

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

FatMan Scoop was known to the world as the undisputed voice of the club. His music made us dance and embrace life with positivity.

His joy was infectious and the generosity he extended to all will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

FatMan Scoop’s legacy is of love and brightness, it will reside in our hearts and memories forever.

Freeman’s manager, Michael Birch, known as Pure Cold – said, “I am honestly lost for words… You took me all over the world and had me performing alongside you on some of the biggest and greatest stages on this planet, the things you taught me have truely made me the man I am today.”

Americans concerned about being able to feed their family today, tomorrow, or anytime before 2049 can take advantage of 35% off all products at Prepper All-Naturals with promo code “freedom35” for a limited time.

With some foods skyrocketing in price over the last year, it’s getting harder for Americans to keep their cupboards full. But some Americans are looking ahead, seeing the writing on the wall, and realizing the trajectory of the nation and the world points to food shortages and government-controlled distribution.

“Who controls the food supply controls the people,” Henry Kissinger once said. He was right. It doesn’t matter how independent and patriotic someone is. If they’re given the choice between bowing to government or letting their family members starve to death, nearly everyone will bow.

“We don’t want anyone to bow to a tyrannical government because they didn’t have enough food to feed themselves and their families,” said Jason Nelson, co-founder of Prepper All Naturals. “I fought for a free country and the direction America is heading is away from freedom.”

Nelson, a disabled veteran who served in both the U.S. Marines and U.S. Army, left the military after a long career because of the Covid-19 “vaccine” mandates. When he returned, his desire to serve compelled him to launch his company in order to empower Americans with their own long-lasting supply of freeze-dried food.

Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin are among the cuts offered by Prepper All Naturals.

Nelson decided to go with premium cuts because of his own experience with “prepper” beef.

“I tried the freeze-dried ‘beef crumbles’ and ‘beef chunks’ that were being offered to Americans as survival food and realized the apocalypse is really going to suck if this is our only option,” Nelson said. “So, we came up with a better option.”

Beef cubes offered by Prepper All Naturals are cut from all-American cattle. The cubes are cooked sous vide, then freeze-dried and placed in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers to make them shelf-stable for at least a decade. The USDA recommends freeze-dried beef be used within 25-years of being packaged.

“The prices at the grocery store are going up for one reason: Control,” Nelson said. “At some point in the near future we imagine a full-court press by government to make us eat lab-grown meat or bugs instead of real beef. That’s why we have some people buying up dozens of bags at a time knowing it may be the last real beef standing.”

On a Brooklyn block, New York City’s most chaotic worlds have collided. Drug-addicted squatters rented an abandoned house to migrants, collecting dozens of seemingly stolen bikes and scooters. The stash eventually sparked a fire that scorched two nearby homes, The Post reports.

Even after the August 17 blaze, the squatters refused to leave the East 36th Street house in Marine Park. They continue to occupy the property despite the fire.

“For the next two days, people were coming back again and again,” a 45-year-old neighbor told The Post, even after the city boarded up the second-floor windows and poured cement across the first-floor doors and windows.

Neighbors estimated around 10 junkies and an unknown number of migrant squatters frequented the dilapidated two-story, three-bedroom duplex, which was built in 1925.

“They were getting into fights with the neighbors and yelling, ‘This is our house! This is our house!’” one resident of the block recalled, adding that she called the police each time she saw them in the days following the blaze.

The two-alarm fire, which took 106 firefighters to douse and injured three smoke-eaters, was sparked by an exploding e-battery at about 1:30 p.m. Flames quickly spread to homes on either side, displacing at least six people.

The abandoned house has been a source of trouble for the otherwise quiet block since 2011, when its 81-year-old owner, Mortimer Falk, passed away with no surviving relatives. The Brooklyn Public Administrator is currently managing the estate and the property.

A 45-year-old neighbor expressed frustration, saying they have spent years trying to get officials to address the issue, but no one has taken action.

The home is valued at $729,300, according to Zillow.com. Attempts to contact the public administrator for comment were not returned.

American communities are being harassed and terrorized as buildings are being taken over by armed Venezuelan gangs.

As  Antonio Graceffo with the Gateway Pundit reported,

Open borders, woke ideology, hate speech regulations, and other liberal constructs are weakening U.S. national security. Illegal immigrants are no longer called illegal, and even a violent gang, recognized by the U.S. government as a national security threat, is being handled with kid gloves to avoid offending law-abiding illegal immigrants from Venezuela and their supporters.

Back in June, I reported on Tren de Aragua, a violent transnational Venezuelan gang that entered the USA through the southern border and is now operating in states across the country. The existence and threat of this group, as well as its growth in America, are well-documented in government reports. The National Security Council has issued a statement on this new threat to national security, the Treasury Department has recognized them as a transnational crime organization, and the U.S. Department of State is offering a $12 million bounty for information leading to the arrest of several of its leaders.

Clearly, the group exists and poses a major threat to the nation. However, in recent days, a series of stories have appeared in second-tier, regional, and right-leaning media outlets, claiming that Tren de Aragua is taking over several towns in Colorado, specifically Aurora and Denver. These reports state that the mayors have asked the governor for help, but the governor said the gang takeover was simply a figment of their “imagination.” Simultaneously, other media outlets are claiming that the story of a gang takeover is false. For the most part, the largest mainstream, national media are not covering the story.

According to the New York Post, the gang has taken over numerous apartment buildings, and viral videos circulating on social media apparently support these claims. These videos are also being aired by local affiliates of larger news organizations, such as KDVR in Denver, NBC Montana, and CBN News.

How is something like this even possible in American cities? Kamala Harris is how. The failed Border Czar allowed millions and millions of illegals to pour into our communities and terrorize our citizens.

If Kamala Harris and Democrats cared enough about the American people to fix this issue they would have.

Hillary Clinton skipped a $100,000 per ticket Kamala Harris event in the Hamptons earlier this week after she fell ill with Covid.

According to Page Six, Hillary Clinton sent her husband Bill Clinton to the fundraiser instead.

Clinton was one of the many DNC Convention attendees to get Covid after attending the superspreader in Chicago last week.

Hillary spoke at the convention last week.

.@HillaryClinton: “We refused to give up on America. Millions marched. Many ran for office. We kept our eyes on the future. Well, my friends, the future is here! I wish my mother and Kamala’s mother could see us. They would say, ‘Keep going!'” #DNC pic.twitter.com/jHLg9jbkka

The DNC Convention, which was the Democrat party’s biggest in-person event since 2016, turned out to be a Covid superspreader even though attendees were vaccinated.

“What is it like being in a room where four years ago this would have been a superspreader event?”

Hillary Clinton had to skip the elitist Hamptons fundraiser because she was home sick with Covid, according to Page Six.

Page Six reported:

Hillary Clinton bowed out of a Hamptons fundraiser for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz on Monday, we hear, after the former secretary of state came down with COVID-19.

Husband and former President Bill Clinton stepped in, sources say, to speak at the Sag Harbor event along with Harris’ hubby, second gentleman Doug Emhoff.

The event was held at the home of mega art collectors Lisa and Richard Perry, who are known to house works by Frank Stella, Alexander Calder, Ellsworth Kelly and Donald Judd, among other blue-chip artists.

Tickets at the highest tier went for a cool $100,000 each, and an invitation seen by Page Six said, “This is likely to be one of the last small events in the NY area before the election, so it is not to be missed.”
