Is Chymamusique leaving the music industry?

South African DJ and music producer Collen Ntala Mmotla, popularly known as DJ Chymamusique, has announced that he is cancelling all the gigs he had lined up, and hinted at taking a break from music.

This comes after he had an emergency brain surgery, following a fatal car accident near Polokwane on August 30.

Recently, DJ Chymamusique shared a video from his hospital bed updating his followers about his recovery journey, where he revealed that he has been in ICU for nine days after an emergency craniotomy surgery. A portion of the skull was temporarily removed to access the brain. This is often performed to treat conditions such as brain injuries, blood clots or tumours.

In the video he shared, the Don’t Wait Till I’m Gone: Musique Chant hitmaker advised his fans to enjoy life, despite its ups and downs. He then showed his scars, saying that half of his head is gone. The star further revealed that he would be cancelling his November gigs and then said, “resignation.”

“If your life is hard, enjoy it. If your life is good, enjoy it. What the f, man, look at this; half of my head is gone,” he said. “I’m cancelling all the gigs until the end of November. Resignation,” he added before signing in the air with his hand.

The Limpopo musical maestro also revealed that he is due for three more surgeries.

“Now they say I’m due for three more surgeries. Clearly, God sees me as one of his toughest soldiers,” he shared.
