Award-winning South African musician Chymamusique has revealed his monthly medical expenses and launched a fundraising campaign.
This comes a day after Chymamusique was discharged from Netcare, where he spent almost a week after an emergency brain surgery.
On Tuesday, 11 November 2025, the Don't Wait Till I'm Gone producer confirmed on his Instagram stories that he has cancelled all scheduled performances until further notice. He appealed for suggestions on what to do as he recovers.
“Cancelling all work. What a summer. What’s the best way to pass time? I don’t want to be idle, because an idle mind is the devil’s playground,” he wrote in one Instagram story.

Chymamusique later revealed in an Instagram story that he would be selling t-shirts and hoodies to earn a living until he is medically cleared to perform.
“This is what I currently do for a living: selling t-shirts and hoodies. All my businesses are paused until I recover,” the musician wrote.
He went on to reveal that he spends approximately R15,000 per month on medical bills. While he stressed that his financial situation isn’t dire, DJ Chymamusique launched a fundraising campaign, that he said had been requested by his social media followers who wanted to help him with medical bills.
“Situation isn’t that bad, but medical scripts and medical copayments will want +/-15k per month, including check-ups and medical aid, etc. By popular demand, I was asked to open a Backabuddy account,” he wrote.
