Rapper Tone Loc, whose real name is Anthony T. Smith, collapsed after finishing a song during a Saturday night concert on a downtown Des Moines bridge in Iowa, US.
The concert ended abruptly while the 47-year-old was treated.
Three employees of the Des Moines Register who were at the show said several minutes after Loc collapsed, fans were asked to leave.
Police Sgt. Steve Woody said that paramedics responded after Loc collapsed, but he refused to be taken to a hospital.
Loc's representative did not respond to messages Sunday, and it wasn't clear why he collapsed.
Authorities said he had apparently overheated.
It wasn't the rapper's first time collapsing on stage.
Loc also collapsed in 1995 while attending a Los Angeles Lakers game. The reason he collapsed wasn't given.
The rapper 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.
Loc has also appeared in a number of television shows and movies, including "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" with Jim Carrey and "Heat" with Al Pacino and has also been the voice of several animated characters.
