Pat Stay, the Canadian battle rapper who called out The Game for “desperately” vying for Eminem’s attention just weeks ago, has reportedly been stabbed to death. According to CBC News, Halifax Regional Police haven’t publicly identified Stay as the victim but Stay’s brother, Peter Stay, confirmed his passing.
Police were called to the 1600 block of Lower Water Street around 12:36 a.m. local time with reports of a stabbing. Stay was taken to a nearby hospital, where he ultimately died from his injuries. A source close to the situation confirmed to HipHopDX the incident took place at a bar.
A revered battle rapper, Pat Stay always had his finger on the pulse of Hip Hop culture. Last month, he called out The Game for his attempt to bait Eminem with “The Black Slim Shady” diss track, which arrived as part of the Drillmatic: Heart Vs. Mind album.
On August 16, Stay posted an Instagram photo of Game, shirtless and in his bed, scrolling through his phone. The text at the top read: “Dear Slim I Wrote You But You Still Ain’t Callin,” a nod to Em’s 2000 song “Stan” about an obsessed fan. In the caption, Stay condemned “The Black Slim Shady” and suggested he was disappointed in his actions.
“I gotta say, as a fan losangelesconfidential its been hard to watch you desperately begging for @eminem attention trying to battle him,” he wrote. “Trust me, I respect the hunger, but once you start that whole ‘he only blew up because he’s white’ type sh*t it comes off more hater-ish than competitive.”
The Game Dragged By Battle Rap Vet For 'Desperately’ Vying For Eminem’s Attention
Some of Pat Stay’s last Instagram Stories features his diss track aimed at The Game. A remix of Eminem’s 2000 hit “Stan,” the video finds Method Man saying, “Pat Stay is a bad muthafucaka.” He then proceeds to go in on the Compton-bred rapper.
Just fourteen hours ago, he was at the wedding of a couple he introduced and appeared to be in good spirits. In another eerily prophetic Instagram post shared just four days ago, Stay talked about the unpredictability of life with: “Imagine if we treated all of our friends and loved ones as if we knew their days were numbered.”
Pat Stay was 36 at the time of his death. DX sends our condolences to his family, fans and friends.
I just rewatched Pat vs Dizaster the other day. Dude definetly had a lot of talent. Shame he passed. R.I.P.
Rest Easy Pat. The senseless violence needs to stop.
Lol just as he was getting mentioned in mainstream hiphop due to his comments about Eminem/Game sitch.. jealousy is a mufucka for real
What now? Game putting hits on people speaking out against him?
No. Probably a coincidence.
Game just got a Canadian killed,SMH. Now he’s the black sushi chef. RIP Stay.
Word in Halifax is he got stabbed breaking up a fight at bar/club so please stop with the dumb shenanigans
Yeah, the fight was between Game and Eminem lmfao
My opinion is that I don’t think it is a coincidence. Game is mentally ill, jealous and narcissistic. And just look how Game burned himself to the ground in the public’s eye in the last months. I think that is a horrible place to be in emotionally, when even younger guys like “The Evolve” are making people laugh their asses off on your actions.
I do believe it was The Game, guy is hurt, hopeless, lost and not sane.
RIP. Battle rap legend.
Damn. Was one of the good ones, funny, talented mf. rip
RIP STAY
Man RIP Pat Stay. Definitely a talent, good dude.
His career was a lot more than dissing Game smh
I was a huge fan. He engaged with all his fans. dope dude
If you a battle rap fan, you def know who the fuck this is. RIP. This work sux ass anyway.
Game won lollll
THE GAME IS STR8 SHANKING UP W*****
Hahahahahahhaah
You must have been born out your moms butthole with a crap joke like that.
More like it was his dad’s
White people we got to do better
Seriously. You are catching up with the nig…. I mean blacks.
Any day could be your last…
That video is corny af. lmao Why are these dudes so obsessed with Eminem? It’s weird….Is it because he’s white or what? Sad the dude died the way he did RIP….but damn…That video is super cringe and awkward. Eminem didn’t ask for help.
Game has been dropping names and starting pointless beefs a long time ago. His music is no longer leading the hip hop culture so it’s all he has to get attention.
..he couldn’t find someone more relative in today’s hip hop to beef with tho?
@ JG

Game finally body’d someone. (Indirectly) This is the result of retaliation for his actions more than likely. C’mon, he just happens to die two days after the video drops. More than a coincidence. (Will he go out like Gangstalicious/Young Thug by snitching on himself)
As a huge fan of the game, he had nothing to do with this I’m sure. Why even bother bringing up game on this particular story? A man died. Rest in peace pat stay.
* cough * * cough * bullshit * cough *
Thats just what Gayme would say
Damn. These Canadian bozos are taking the hip-hop cosplay shit seriously eh? Both Lamez shooting bitches in the foot. This.
You have no idea what you’re talking about
You are a fool how about you have some respect for this man family and friends instead of talking a load of bullshit.
This one really is a shame. He had so many different styles and was super entertaining. Say Hi to Bender for me Pat. RIP.
Dang game got goons everywhere ?
Goons no ! goofs yes! Game is bitch point blank period fake ass slob nobody with any relevance respects he will be dead soon don’t worry.
uhh…NO. you funny tho
Gayme fans are all secretly f***ing f*g*ots!!
Man just wondering when the senseless killings among rappers is going to end yo? We are definitely living in the last days family no doubt… Just some real sad shit mainly because of what jealousy? Naw no need for that type of negative
energy in the rap game yo… Prayers unto his family in their time of grievances, rest in peace
dude.
Here we go again. Put this on the ever increasing list. Looks like white rappers are on the list now. We really need to do better.
To all you little boys laughing and talking shit, this guy was heavily respected in rap and battle rap culture by many ppl you consider legends or maybe your dads. Dude was husband and father who lost his life to a senseless act of violence so why you don’t show some respect. This guy wasn’t on IG with guns throwing gang signs alright he worked a 9 to 5 like most of us do. Stop with the little immature commentary when this could of been your brother friend or dad.
100% facts
I guess he should have stay ‘d at home that night
FUCK OFF
If only he would have been in Gayme’s bed that night he’d still be alive. But he had to go against the homosexual agenda so Puffy had him killed. Sad.
So so sad Pat didn’t deserve to have this life taken senseless killing. I feel for the family friends and his children lives have been changed forever it’s sad.
Dag nabbit they killed my guy. Ugh I loved Pat stay he was a great battle rapper! Damn he will be surely missed. Rest in heavenly slumber Pat Stay we love and miss you!
REST IN PEACE BRO!!! THIS ONE HURTS!!! GOD BRO REST IN PEACE MY BRO!!!
Oh my God! Never in a million years did I see this coming. He was a hard battle rapper but I doubt he was a bad person. The hate is real smh. He was one of the most entertaining battle rappers around. Who can forget the original and insane jokes lol. Or his slogans like, “Oh he mad right now!”, “Darkside!” and “Sucker free boss!”. I started watching URL around 2010-2011 and I think the first time I saw Pat Stay at KOTD was a couple of years after that. His last battle I saw was where he totally smoked Tay Roc “what is he gonna do? Almost fight!” lmao. Rest in peace bro you will be missed dearly!
Gayme did it
Damn
RIP
Rip pat
Dont try to play The Game
Fuck the game! Fake ass blood. Studio gangster!
