South African artist HHP is dead

Details about the cause of his death is still unknown. However, HHP’s death was confirmed by his wife and her publicist, Lerato Sengadi.

“Yes, yes it’s true. I am with the family at the moment, “Lerato told Sowetan Live.

HHP is one of the pioneering artists of the successful South Africa hip-hop subgenre, Motswako. He is also one of the first rappers to successfully mix hip-hop and kwaito and was one of the first SA rappers to achieve mainstream success.

The artist had been open about suffering from depression. Two years ago, Sowetan Live reported that he attempted suicide 3 times in 2015 and that he also visited an online suicide website in order to assist him to end his life.
