In a dramatic turn of events, the Mampe family responded to the backlash, claiming that the donation story was taken out of context and that they never asked for assistance.

"Apparently, close friends and business associates of Da L.E.S. took it upon themselves to gather donations for the family and reached out to Da L.E.S’ mom for her bank details and informed her that they’d like to send the family money in support of Da L.E.S."
