Da Les Back Home After Long Hospital Stay Due to Stroke

Rapper Da Les, born Leslie Jonathan Mampe Jr., is back home after a month-long stay in the hospital, following a stroke he suffered in July. The “All Eyes on Me” hitmaker is reportedly making significant progress in his recovery, although he continues to struggle with some speech impairment. Sources close to the rapper have shared that while his recovery is ongoing, his family felt it was best for him to be cared for at home.

### Family Requested His Discharge

According to insiders, Da Les had access to top-notch medical care and rehabilitation services at Charlotte Maxeke and South Rand hospitals. However, his family decided that bringing him home would be more conducive to his recovery. “He was under the care of the best doctors and professors, but the family believed it was time for him to continue his healing in a more familiar and supportive environment,” a source said. Despite the high level of care at the hospital, Da Les was not placed in a private ward, and his family felt that a home environment would offer him better comfort and privacy.

One source further revealed that his mother, who had been living in the United States, has returned to South Africa to ensure that Da Les is well taken care of. Family members are reportedly taking shifts to look after him, providing him with round-the-clock care. While his right side still has limited mobility, he is gradually regaining sensation, and his rehabilitation program is helping him make strides in recovery. “He is now learning to walk again and has started forming sentences, although progress is slow,” the source added.

### Keeping Affairs Private

Another reason behind the family’s decision to bring the rapper home was to shield him from media attention and potential leaks from hospital staff. The family has also limited access to Da Les, allowing only close relatives to visit him during his recovery. “Most friends and even some extended family members won’t be able to see him until he has fully recovered. It’s a difficult situation because seeing him like this is both heartbreaking and helpless, but the family is determined to give him all the support he needs,” said the source.

Da Les’ baby mama, Aurea Alexander, who is also speaking on behalf of the family, confirmed that the rapper is recovering at home. “We will provide the media with an update soon,” she assured.

Da Les has been a significant figure in the South African music industry, particularly known for his role in the hip-hop group Jozi, and for producing hits like “Heaven” and “All Eyes on Me.” His health scare has come as a shock to many fans and friends alike, who have sent him well-wishes and hope for a speedy recovery.

While the family remains private about the details of his health condition, it is clear that Da Les is making progress. As he continues his rehabilitation journey at home, his loved ones remain hopeful that he will fully recover and eventually return to the music scene stronger than before.
