Following the funeral for South African gospel star Lundi Tyamara, a report claimed that the singer died “broke and homeless”.
Family and friends made their way to the Zweletemba Stadium in Worcester at the weekend to say their final goodbyes to the gospel singer.
While the Tyamara family were supposed to be mourning and focusing on saying farewell to their family member, the family had to set the record straight on rumours claiming that Lundi died “homeless and broke”.
According to Sunday World, Lundi was evicted and had to borrow money from friends to make ends meet.
But the family says this is not true.
Speaking to TshishaLIVE, the family said they are not surprised by the rumours as they expected it.
“That’s standard gossip in the black community when someone passes,” a Tyamara family member said.
