The celebrity, who took the Leope surname, shared his respect for the man who raised him after marrying his mother.
“He basically brought me up after getting married to my moms. When he met my moms, my moms had already had me and he was like ‘no, this is gonna be my boy and I’m gonna bring him up’, and I’ll forever be grateful for the life Ntate Leope gave me,” he shared.
He encouraged people to come to South Africa because the country is affordable and feels that’s why other African natives are coming to the country.
