Grammy-winning rapper Tone Loc collapsed on Saturday night (March 16) during a show in Des Moines, Iowa. Loc then refused to go to hospital, according to reports.

The rapper – real name Anthony T. Smith - collapsed after finishing a song, causing the show to abruptly end. Fans were asked to leave. It still isn’t clear why he collapsed, as he hasn’t responded to any messages, but his refual to go to hospital, and the paramedics not insisting that he should, would suggest it’s not too serious. Loc, who is best known for his 1980s hits Funky Cold Medina and Wild Thing, collapsed and had a seizure during a 2009 concert in Pensacola, Fla. Authorities it was down to overheating. He also collapsed in 1995 while attending a Los Angeles Lakers game, and, like the latest collapse, the reason has was not given.
