South African Kwaito star L'vovo recently reflected on his multiple near-death experiences.

Famous for hits like Bayang'sukela and Resista, Derrango compared himself to a cat with nine lives, saying he was blessed with seven, but now only has three left.

"I tell my friends that I have seven lives. I've lived four of them, and have only three remaining."

Speaking to DailySUN on 29 October 2025, the Kwaito star reflected on his car accident in 2007 in Mpumalanga that claimed the lives of his driver and DJ Buddha. This, he said, was when he lost his first life.
