Battle rapper T-Rex suffered a sudden seizure during a rap battle, causing panic among fans and fellow artists. The incident happened at a major event in New York, and he was rushed to the hospital.
On June 22, 2025, veteran battle rapper T-Rex (real name Randy Sullivan) collapsed on stage during a rap battle. The event was Ultimate Rap League’s NOME 15 at the Gramercy Theatre in New York City. Videos showed him falling mid-performance and having a seizure, leaving the crowd in shock.
T-Rex was battling Geechi Gotti when the incident happened. Witnesses said he was performing his first round when he suddenly dropped to the floor. His crew rushed to help, turning him on his side to prevent choking. Paramedics arrived quickly and took him to the hospital.
Reports suggest heatstroke may have caused the seizure. New York was experiencing a heatwave, and T-Rex was seen asking for water before the battle. Fans and fellow rappers expressed concern online, hoping for his recovery.
T-Rex later confirmed he was stable, thanking a nurse friend who helped him. His opponent, Geechi Gotti, visited him in the hospital, saying the battle was less important than his health. The rap community, including legends like Murda Mook, showed support on social media.
T-Rex is a Harlem legend with a career spanning decades. He has battled top names like Loaded Lux, Charlie Clips, and Math Hoffa. This incident raised concerns about his health, as he had previously stepped away from battling for personal reasons.
“I’m about to head to the hospital to check on my boy,” Geechi Gotti said. “Prayers to bro because that st is way more important than any battle.”
Fans shared their reactions online, with many relieved he was okay. Some criticized the circulation of videos showing his collapse, calling it disrespectful. Others praised the quick response from his team and medical staff.
“Damn… Prayers up for this brother,” one fan wrote.
“Jeez that’s scary, hope he’s alright,” another added.
T-Rex has been a key figure in battle rap since the late 1990s. His return to the stage was highly anticipated, making the incident even more shocking. The event also featured other big names like Tay Roc and Ms. Hustle, but his health scare became the main focus.
