Da LES – real name Leslie Mampe – has returned to social media like he never left after a devastating stroke last year
In July 2024, the rapper suffered a health setback on his 39th birthday. According to reports, the “North God” hitmaker did not have medical aid and was struggling to pay for private healthcare.
Mampe is currently in the US, where he is reportedly living under the care of his mother.
On his TikTok account, Da LES surprised his followers by posting a video of himself in the US.
In the clip, the muso shared his skincare routine, courtesy of Botched plastic surgeon Dr Paul Nassif. In the video, the right arm of the rapper appeared limp, possibly as a result of his stroke.
Another TikTok saw Da LES take part in a popular trend to the viral song WTHelly.
He casually captioned the clip: “You know what I’m feeling for”.
SECOND HOME
According to reports, DA LES has relocated to Houston in the US, where he was born and where his mother, Priscilla Mampe, lives.
“His mom took him with her, so she is present in his recovery, and he can get better medical care,” a source told Zimoja.
Last year, Da LES suffered a stroke at his Bryanston mansion, known for hosting his star-studded All White pool parties. The incident took place on his 39th birthday.
The rapper was reportedly put in a public hospital as he did not have medical aid.
He has since sought intensive physiotherapy via the South African Stroke Rehab Company.
