HHP, also known as Jabba Man, had previously opened up about suffering from depression. Two years ago, SowetanLIVE reported that Tsambo had attempted suicide three times in 2015. The late rapper also reportedly researched suicide-assistance website and revealed that his therapy and medication left him feeling lethargic. 

Hip Hop Pantsula is from the capital city of the North-West Province of South Africa. At the time of his death, HHP was reportedly working on a new album. He had previously released 10 albums and recently released a five-track EP titled Feels Good To Be Back.

His last Instagram post was a tribute to rapper Flabba, who died in 2015 due to a fatal stab wound. 

HHP is survived by his children and wife.
