Popular Malome Vector, a South African rapper, passed away in a car accident.
Vector was traveling with musical collaborators Puleng Phoofolo and Lizwi Wokuqala when the accident occurred Wednesday evening in the Free State.
His former record label, Ambitiouz Entertainment, revealed the unfortunate tragedy in a post Wednesday evening.
Two others were reportedly taken to Boitumelo Regional Hospital with injuries.
“With heavy hearts, we mourn the passing of a shining beacon; the Lion of Lesotho’s sun has set. Our deepest condolences go out to his loved ones and industry peers during this time of profound loss.”
The Free State Department of Health reported that “three men were declared dead at the scene of an accident on the N1 near the Koppies turn-off close to Kroonstad.”
In other news, Tochi, a former Big Brother Naija ‘Lockdown’ housemate, has taken aim at Nigerian football fans for their comments on transfers and player value.
He mocked them for frequently personalizing the sale and purchase of football players by clubs despite having not eaten anything during the day.
Tochi took to Twitter, wondering how someone who is hungry could claim to have paid 230 million pounds for French player Kylian Mbappe.
He wrote; “Football fans are funny, person wey never chop since morning dey shout! We bought Mbappe for 230 million pounds … You and who Oga?”
