Rapper Liyema Ndibi, better known to fans as Brie Lee, has died after a long battle with cancer.<\/p>\n
Her family confirmed the passing in a statement posted to her official accounts.<\/p>\n
In the message, they said she endured the illness for more than a year, expressing gratitude to everyone who offered support and kept her in their prayers. The family also acknowledged donations made toward her amputation, noting that the procedure was carried out, but that she later developed breathing problems. \u201cEvery day was a fight, and she fought bravely until her last breath,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n
They further asked for space during the period of mourning, requesting privacy for Brie Lee\u2019s family, loved ones, and friends.<\/p>\n
The news arrives about two months after supporters rallied around her, raising R10,000 within six hours to help fund the amputation. That fundraising push followed Brie Lee sharing photos showing a tumour on her arm that continued to grow.<\/p>\n
Before her death, Brie Lee spoke openly about her cancer journey and the choice to pursue such a drastic operation as part of her fight against the disease. \u201cI have tried every possible treatment without success … I am doing everything in my power to manage my health and reclaim my future,\u201d she wrote. She also said her \u201cgreatest desire is to move past this struggle and return to my passion for creating music.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
