Pat recently made headlines last month after challenging Los Angeles rapper The Game in a face-off. Pat called Game out for dissing Eminem.
After Game dropped his Eminem diss “The Black Slim Shady,” Pat fired back demanding the face-off, but Game blocked him instead of responding.
So, Pat went on to release his own diss track earlier this weekend called “Warm Up.” However, just a few days after the song was first released, reports have now surfaced of the Hip-Hop battle legend being killed.

Several friends and family members confirmed that Pat was stabbed to death early Sunday morning (Sept. 4). in downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Around 12:30 a.m., local police responded to a call about someone being armed with a weapon. Upon arrival of the police, they discovered a man suffering from stab wounds and rushed the victim to the hospital, where he later died from his injuries sustained.
While police have not publicly confirmed Pat as the victim, his brother, Pete Stay confirmed his death to CBC. An investigation is now ongoing and police are searching for a suspect in Pat’s death. Police are now asking anyone with information about the stabbing to call 902-490-5020.
As mentioned, Pat was a notable rapper in the battle rap genre, and clearly was an Eminem fan. He was from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia and had a large social media following, stemming from his popularity in the rap game.
He’s even gotten a compliment from Hip-Hop’s heavy-hitter and fellow Canadian Drake, who said, “Pat Stay’s definitely one of, if not, the best.”
Following Pat’s passing, many people in the battle rap and Hip-Hop communities have taken to social media to share their condolences and repost pictures and videos of rapper and his skills.
Renowned producer The Alchemist took to Twitter and wrote, “‘I can moonwalk with steel toe boots on.’ Rest in peace Pat Stay. Battle Rap icon and king. If [you] know me [you] know I always thought he was the best. I’m hurt.”
Another rapper, JIMZ wrote on Twitter, “This pat stay news is tragic ..
