According to reports, Rashid Kay who co-hosts a show with Gigi on Slikour On life, confirmed that Gigi had been admitted to hospital and was in a stable condition.

Speaking to DRUM, PR practitioner for Ambitious Entertainment Kgadi Mothotse refused to confirm whether Gigi had attempted to commit suicide and said they were focusing on the rapper’s health.

“We have no comment for the media at the moment as we are busy trying to sort out Gigi’s health and well-being before involving the media," she said.

Taking to Twitter to reassure her fans that she was okay, Gigi posted a picture with the words "Depression don’t win" written can be seen in what looks like a hospital bed on Monday morning.
