According to the deejay’s daughter Rhiality, her father’s stroke was not completely serious however, she told Loop news who she spoke to that Tiger is going to need funds to take care of medical expenses as it is very hard for them at this time.

Tiger is now 61 years old and suffered his first stroke some years ago in addition to medical issues he had to deal with, as a result of a 1994 crash he was involved in that nearly cost him his life.
The legendary deejay is well known for his hits “No Wanga Gut”, ” No Puppy Love” and “A Me Name Tiger” which propelled him to be one of the main musical faces in the ’80s.
