Tributes are pouring in for South Africa’s hip hop artist Boitumelo Mooi, popularly known as DJ Dimplez, who passed away on Sunday. He succumbed to brain haemorrhage – a medical condition that causes damage to the blood vessel walls and causes the blood vessel to leak or burst.
Dimplez will be remembered for helping create space for South African hip hop through his creativity and unique sounds.
His list of hit songs includes “We Ain’t Leaving” in which he featured Anatii and L-Tido. He will also be remembered by some for his discographies such as his 2019 release “Way Up” featuring Cassper Nyovest and JR in the album Kubu.
South Africans have taken to Twitter to express their sadness.
The DJ’s family has asked for space to process his passing.
