South African rapper, HHP is dead

Hip-hop star HHP has died, his wife confirmed to TshisaLIVE on Wednesday. Lerato Sengadi, his publicist wife, spoke from the scene.

“Yes, yes, it’s true. I am with the family at the moment,” said a traumatised Sengadi.

Details surrounding the hip-hop veteran’s death were still sketchy.

HHP whose real name is Jabulani Tsambo according to reports had opened up in the past about his struggles with depression. According to TimesLive, another media outlet SowetanLive reported back in 2015 that HHP had attempted to commit suicide on several occasions.

There has been lots of speculation online on HHP’s cause of death but no official word from the family. In a 2017 interview with Gareth Cliff on CliffCentral.com the hip-hop star revealed that he tried to commit suicide three times before.
