SA Hip Hop Reacts To Tumi Tladi’s Untimely Passing
SA Hip Hop Reacts To Tumi Tladi’s Untimely Passing. When it rains it pours, and the South African hip-hop scene has suffered yet another loss following the untimely passing of Tumi Tladi. According to the Tladi family, the rapper passed in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The Tladi family acknowledged the death of rapper Tumi Tladi on July 10 in a statement shared with SA Hip hop Mag. Tumi has been a very massive player in SA hip hop and his untimely passing has propelled a sorrowful atmosphere in the SA hip hop community.
On Sunday morning before he passed away, the rapper took to Twitter and shared two tweets where he was talking about the importance of appreciating your loved ones when they are still alive. “You only Truly appreciate your loved ones when there’s a countdown, the small things don’t matter anymore,” he tweeted.
“Love like they are leaving tomorrow,” he added in a second tweet. Following the passing of Riky Rick and DJ Dimplez a few months ago, Tumi has left most rappers in awe as they are still healing from the passing of veteran rappers. The Basadi chanter has become the fourth SA rapper to pass away this year and it is clearly a devastating moment for South African rappers who have worked with him during his time in the industry.
His latest music release was the music video for his song Presidential which he featured Nadia Nakai and MustBeDubz.
Several of Tumi’s SA hip-hop peers including AKA and Gigi Lamayne resorted to Twitter and paid their tribute to the vibrant rapper.
JR wrote: “RIP to the young king, Tumi Tladi. Death be not proud.”
Gigi Lamayne wrote: “Rest in Peace.”
AKA posted a photo of the rapper writing: “Rest in Peace my boy.”
