Hip-hop star Jabulani Tsambo known as HHP has died at the age of 38. His wife confirmed the news to TshisaLIVE yesterday.
Lerato Sengadi, his publicist wife, spoke from the scene.
“Yes, yes, it’s true. I’m with the family at the moment,” said a traumatised Sengadi.
Details surrounding the hip-hop veteran’s death were still sketchy as of yesterday. The musician’s booking agent, Ofentse Mothusi, however, said he died at around midday.
Known to his fans by his nickname Jabba, the local Motswako MC performed in several languages.
He had in the past opened up about suffering from depression.
Two years ago, SowetanLIVE reported that he had admitted to attempting suicide three times in 2015 and that he had visited an online suicide website in an attempt to help him get information on how to end his life.
Those close to the star, including AKA, flooded Twitter with messages of condolences yesterday. —TimesLive
