Battle rapper Pat Stay was murdered in the early hours of September 4, and new details about his death continue to emerge.
According to CTV News, police believe the murder wasn’t a random act of violence. Pat Stay was reportedly stabbed at the Yacht Club Social in Halifax, Nova Scotia at around 12:30 a.m., with the 36-year-old left seriously injured and later dying in the hospital.
Police are investigating his death as a homicide, but they haven’t revealed the motive behind the attack or if any arrests have been made.
“At this point, it’s still the very early stages,” Cst. John Macleod from Halifax Regional Police said in a statement. “We’re looking into all avenues to determine what it was that occurred that night. We are asking anyone that has information, or might have video, or photographs from the time or anywhere around the incident, to contact police to help us further this investigation.”
Pat Stay’s friends launched a GoFundMe campaign to help with funeral expenses, with $179,220 CAD being raised by Thursday morning (September 8).
“We are setting up this fund to help raise money for our fallen brothers family. He has been taken from the world far too soon and many will be devastated forever,” the GoFundMe description reads.
“Pat Stay was a very honorable man who was on his way to a bright future. Our heart hurts for his family and friends at this time so we hope to help ease some of the pain by ensuring his family has help through this process.”
The Game Dragged By Battle Rap Vet For 'Desperately’ Vying For Eminem’s Attention
The likes of Eminem and Drake have paid tribute to Pat Stay following his death, with Em crowning him “one of the best battlers of all time” and Drizzy calling him “one of my fav rappers ever.”
Royce Da 5’9″, The Alchemist, R.A. The Rugged Man, NLE Choppa and Statik Selektah also posted tributes online, along with fellow battle rapper Dizaster.
Gayme going to jail
Yep
every picture i’ve seen of this dude he looks like a drug dealer and if you look at what this guy did in his spare time – which is try to start beef with other dudes through rap, he surely had many local “frenemies” – the attention he was getting from the Eminiem/Game situation he jumped into may have set some local off. In the old days it was emcee battles not random hurtful insults. not saying this guy didn’t have skills just saying it doesn’t matter who’s right or wrong now dude is dead. chances are it was related to local dope dealer politics and online jealousies mixed into one.
Wow you just sounded extremely bias and incredibly racist right now with that statement tho.
what do you think this guy was doing at “yacht social club” at 12:30 am Saturday night that would result in him being stabbed if it wasn’t random? he’s a grown man. it doesn’t take a lot of speculation to come up with some obvious motives. If he was a saint it will come out as well. either way I never said he deserved anything bad happen to him just that insult based battle rap can make casual enemies everywhere. as far as I know battle rap as it stands today is a hobby thing maybe he made 20k a year on the side off that. no way battle rap paid his car note
Locals from Halifax say that Pat Stay was an asshole who had lots of enemies he wasn’t a nice guy like battle rap fans claim…he got shot 15-20 years before locals weren’t surprised that he got stabbed
?? locals from HFX? doubtful, no ones has anything bad to say bout the guy. the ones that do, was because he says shit back when people talk.. reacts with action when action is taken against him. thats not an asshole.
Every picture you seen? Do you know who he was?? How positive he was to the culture of battle rap? If not…stfu
It is what it is…. Talking about a guy who just lost his life? I know you come from a shitty family background.. Dont take my word for it look at them 🙂 Too bad it was not you that got stabbed At least there would be one less idiot in the world … You fucking senseless moron lol
I honestly think Gane was behind it
I’m leaning to the side of one of Game fans out there did it.
why would game want to shoot this homey. was he dissing game must have really fucked him off.
Im worm food now.
To bad wasn’t your ratbag body
Dies 2 days after Game diss video dropped? Maybe a coincidence… Wack 100 ridiculed his death too no one really knows what really happened yet all the details are fishy
Bunch of idiots that no nothing about battle rap or Pat Stay making wild speculative comments
lol @ people saying it was Game. Game didn’t even know who this dude was.
More people knew who Pat was. Look at his streams. He unlike the Game has stayed relevant. Method Man,Eminem, and multiple rappers of that caliber knew. Also Pat reached out to the Game as a fan saying the album was great but the diss record took away from the albums worth. Pat posted screen shots of the Game following and then blocking him after his tagged comment. Game definitely murdered this guy and thought it wouldn’t be easy to trace.
Game is a millionaire…and damn near 50 years old. He ain’t throwing his life and success away over some Canadian rapper dissing him. And if you follower Game ever you’d know he lives for rap beef, much more likely he would’ve come with a 30 min diss towards dude than have him killed, let alone do it himself…smh y’all goofy
this is fax
Oh yeah and look at their instagrams…Game don’t even use his name in his title @losangelesconfidential and got 13 million followers. Pat stay, 86k…might wanna rethink that “more people know Pat Stay than Game” point
my guy, Game know who the dude was….the likes of Drake, common, joe budden, dj khalid, fat joe, jadakiss and eminem paid homage to the dude when he passed….im pretty sure our friend Jayceon Taylor knows who he is. goofy ass
If anything it would have been that little punk bitch manager wackkk
it was a pretty desperate move by this guy to jump into whatever beef to begin with. a week later he ends up dead. if he had street issues leading up to this it’s possible this was his last move maybe hoping to level up get a deal be in some battle rap movie, who knows. idiot white clowns who are on here blaming Game just show how illegitimate their fake love for rap is. these little dick em fans have it in their head that the “best rapper ever” is white and that why everyone hates emimen fans and don’t put the respect on his name anymore. his fans are a menace to real rap
Pat Stay WAS in a rap battle movie already lol and he really didn’t have any STREET issues. Other then being the best at what he did. The VERY best. People throw rocks at things that shine…. And that’s all this SUCKAFREE BOSS did. He fucking shined.
whatever the fck happened to him game had nothing to do with it. that’s the point. he got stabbed a week after trying to jump into someone else’s fight. what does that say to you? you have idiots on here trying to claim he’s more important than he is and that’s who you should be mad at. he’s not bossing anything today and let that be a lesson on how much your stupid battle rap is worth. keep your mouth shut about other folks business and if you want to freestyle battle learn to flow on beat
Bro u talk white clowns alot and Whyte this but if people say nugga u cry right stfu goof in person u a. Itch and tbh without a whole group and no guns u get crush inside or outside inside u can’t survive
the sad part is all these pathetic em fans are pushing 50 now. they aren’t teenagers or college fan boys. They are fat old balding men pathetic as fuck still got em balls deep up in you after all these years. no wonder em can barely show his face in public always got three hoodies on lol smh
Your the pathetic one really tell me what the fuck do you contribute towards rap
im 25 homie. Em is the GOAT. Play in traffic.
bro im 27 years old and been bumpin Shady since i was 11.
youre fuckin goofyyyy
Your life must suck hard man.
Eminem,Jay z,Nas,andre 3000,ll cool j,big pun black thought ,mos def, tech nine ,gza the fuckin list goes on and the Game ain’t in the top 50 if your to fuckin braindead to break down triple entendres idioms and homophonez or understand punchlines or condensed schemes then go back to the mumble rap the game failed epically my fuck mgk had a better diss track I lost the game 3 minutes in never mind sitting through that ten minute love letter
Pat Stay was an absolute legend in battle rap show some respect and stop talking about shit you know nothing about. R.I.P to the king
So how much is that in real money? like 2000 dollars i bet. Fuckin canucks with their bullshit ass toy money
You’re retarded
I wonder if mad child had anything to do with it
I don’t think game had anything to do with it, and if you think the game didn’t know who pat stay is your an idiot because any hip hop head or rapper knows who he is. He’s a legend went at all the greats and his name and place is at the top of battle rappers. Let the legend RIP
