Tsambo family spokesperson Nkululeko Ncana confirmed to TshisaLIVE that Lerato died in the early hours of Monday morning.
According to the publication, the exact circumstances surrounding her death are not clear and Nkululeko called for privacy as the family tried to process the news.
“I am not at liberty to disclose any further details. The family are still trying to deal with the sudden tragedy and are asking for privacy during this difficult time,” – Nkululeko told The Juice.
Last month shortly after HHP’s death, Lerato told Sowetan that both she and Leano had been struggling to come to terms with HHP’s passing.
According to TshisaLIVE, HHP took his own life after a lengthy battle with depression.
Lerato and Jabba were co-parents to their son Leano and they were not romantically involved for years. The late hip-hop star was traditionally married to publicist Lerato Sengadi.
