South African rapper Da L.E.S, real name Leslie Jonathan Mampe, is relocating to the United States as part of his recovery journey.
Earlier in 2024, the former Jozi member was hospitalised after suffering a stroke.
In a recent vlog, Da L.E.S revealed that he is moving to Houston, Texas, to “spend some time with family”. He assured his fans that he will return soon.
The rapper’s closest friends, including L Tido and Maggz, hosted a send-off party in his honour.
In a statement shared by his family late last year, Da L.E.S expressed gratitude for being alive, saying, “It’s truly a miracle, and I owe it all to God for his strength.”
“Da Les is incredibly thankful for the outpouring of love, support, and prayers from his fans, friends, and everyone who has reached out. He will continue to keep everyone updated on his healing journey and deeply appreciates the continued encouragement. Recovery takes time, but he remains positive and focused on achieving a full recovery.”
