Before his tragic passing in March 2023, Costa Titch had collaborated with several artists, including the late South African stars Ricky Rick and AKA, in the remake of the iconic track Nkalakatha by Mandoza. He also worked with Akon on a single, Big Flexa (Remix).

Akon revealed that Costa Titch had completed an album before his untimely death, and that it was “ready to go.” When asked by Sol Phenduka whether the album would be released, Akon responded, “That is for the mother to decide,” emphasizing that he wants Costa’s legacy to be handled in a way that honors what she envisions for him.

Costa Titch’s contribution to the African music industry was undeniable, and his passing left a gap in the music world, but his legacy lives on through his work and collaborations.
