Eminem is among the many mourning Canadian battle rapper Pat Stay, who was stabbed to death in Fairfax, Nova Scotia early Sunday morning (September 4).
Hours after the tragic news began making the rounds on social media, Slim Shady, who came up in the battle circuit, expressed his admiration for Stay with a tweet that read: “Hip Hop lost one of the best battlers of all time. RIP @patstay … KINGS NEVER DIE!!”
According to CBC News, Halifax Regional Police didn’t initially identify Stay as the victim but Stay’s brother, Peter Stay, confirmed his passing.
Around 12:36 a.m., police were called to the 1600 block of Lower Water Street with reports of a stabbing and discovered Stay. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he ultimately died from his injuries at just 36 years old. A source close to the situation confirmed to HipHopDX the incident took place at a local bar.
Canadian Battle Rapper Pat Stay Stabbed To Death In Halifax
A few weeks before the fatal incident, Stay accused The Game of being “desperate” for Eminem’s attention after he dropped “The Black Slim Shady” diss. He thought Game would fire back and he’d be ready with a rebuttal, but it never happened. So Stay decided to release a diss track of his own aimed at Game just days ago.
“After I called out Game a couple weeks ago and it view up all over the media, TMZ etc. I hit the studio and recorded this song,” he wrote in the YouTube caption. “I’ve had in in the chamber for a good minute now and wasn’t going to release it unless he fired at me but F it, this song goes too hard to not let y’all hear it. plus the video is INSANE.”
HipHopDX sends our condolences to Pat Stay’s family, friends and fans.
Kind of crazy tho that he was killed because of defending Eminem.
He was breaking up a fight at a bar in his town and stabbed in the commotion. Stop relating it to dumbass Game like they idiot would do some shit in Canada
Breaking up a fight? Where did you hear that from?
He got in the middle of a bar fight, meaning Game was throwing lyrical bars at Eminem and Pat couldn’t help getting in the middle and throwing bars back at Game.
It’s Halifax not Fairfax smh, figure it out.
I probably should have been home waxing it to a Game track or taking another drug since i WAS an addict. Think Ill take a dirtnap real quick. Lol
You must think you‘re so clever and funny. Fucking loser.
To the idiots in the comments:
This has nothing to do with the Game. Unless Game sent people up to Halifax to stage a fight near Pat, knowing that he would try to break it up, so that they can stab him. So unlikely, espcially because nobody gives a shit about Game. Show some respect, somebody died. It can happen to anyone, appreciate the moments you have while you still have them. RIP.
How about you mind your business before you end up like me?
That’s exactly what happened. The Feds should indict Gayme for this despicable crime.
RIP PAT! fUCk them HATERS! Salute to Pat and Em
Eminem is probably the biggest racist on planet earth. He has a boner for any white rapper on earth who hasn’t got a speck of talent (Jack Harlow, Logic, or this dude), and spends most of his time either:
(1) Attacking black rappers
(2) Exploiting them to keep his “street cred” (like this little fuck ever had any) or
(3) Exploiting black shooting deaths to prove he can keep his Cat in the Hat rhyme scheme in style and seem “enlightened”
He’s en”light”ened alright
What a disgusting MF. Maybe that’s why he’s the bestselling rapper of all-time but not the richest and why no one can stand him even if they listen to his corny carnival tunes
literally kill yourself
You’re a racist yourself. You’re such a hater you can’t see Eminem gave us D12, Obie Trice, 50 Cent, personally wrote Afeni a letter to produce a Tupac album. Eminem put more food on the table for black people THAN YOU WILL EVER.
Put food on black people table? Lol really? So where’s my plate at cause I’m hungry I’m starving STFU clown
You obviously are just mad at the world and have major internal problems. Because you are delusional as fuck my guy.
Conway the Machine, Boogie, Grip, co-sign to Cordae, Young M.A, slaughterhouse, D12.
Whatever it is. Figure it out. But don’t throw your personal shade over a post giving condolences to literally the best battle rapper of all time.
I hope you can dig yourself out the trash pile you are in.
I have seen some em haters but this kind of delusion !! I’m impressed.
Best battler of all-time:
The black guy that whooped your ass in the Rap Olympics but still didn’t get a record deal (least of all from you)
Dr. Dre: $1 billion
Eminem: $250 million
You know who Eminem’s ghostwriter and puppet master is now
Lmao. You cant even remember the guys name. And yeah, he was dope. But not all dope artists make it. I bet theres a bunch of dudes that could hoop better than Jordan og LeBron but never made it. Thats just life.
JUICE
Know your history
Eminem only cares because the dude was on his nuts heavy. If this guy never went at Game Eminem wouldn’t have acknowledged his death. How many dead rappers do you see Eminem shouting out?
You must be out your mind. Pat had a role in Ems battle movie, the one he made for youtube. Also, em came up a battle rapper himself and have said on several occasions that he still pays attention to battle leagues. Also, Em shout outs dead rappers, especially cats he worked with.
Only a white nerd would know all of this
Joe took a molestation charge, he can’t leave his house, he had to notify residents in his community, that’s why he’s trolling, he’s inside ever day, the fact he ca t patrol the school grounds really eats him up thus the hatred outburst. Guys a good
Guys a goof.
How can someone from a region with such a low homicide rate get killed by coincidence? Seems like a planned assassination to me…Eminem is a secret racist he never shouts out when famous black rappers die he never works with anyone but worked with Logic like the only modern mainstream White rapper…Eminem only cares because he’s White
Listen to EPMD2 or plenty of others. He pays homage to plenty of black artist in his actual songs. You’re the racist not anyone else.
I love how u clowns love calling black people racist when you’re racist yourselves u just not open about it and if black people are racist we get it from u assholes white people are a bad influence on the black culture and community
Lol where’s the source for the claim that he was breaking up a fight? Halifax has a low homicide rate seems like a planned assassination to me he didn’t travel to Honduras or Venezuela or some other country with a high homicide rate and die he got killed in Halifax homicide rate lower than almost every US state…
The article about his death says it was. Bar fight. Not disagreeing with you, just wanting answers. Seems weird he drops a diss on the 3rd and dies on the 4th. RipPatStay
Mayonnaise lives matter
Take your woke ass some where else
