HHP has passed away.

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. The veteran hip-hop artist’s producer Thaso Tsotetsi has just confirmed the news to Eyewitness News. It’s not clear how he died, but HHP (38) had been suffering from depression for some time. Tsotetsi, who is also his close friend, says he was an amazing inspiration to many.

He inspired a lot of up and coming rappers and not just rappers, and singers because he could sing and rap. He was a fun person to be with, in the studio or in person as well. He was one person that could motivate someone out of anything.”

Some of his hit singles include Harambe and Mpitse.
