Da LES, real name Leslie Jonathan Mampe Jr., faces backlash while in hospital.
The South African rapper has topped Twitter's trending list with over 40,000 mentions due to his family's lack of donations.
Last Friday, LES suffered a stroke at home and was admitted to hospital in Johannesburg.
Jimoja said the rapper's close friends have written to other friends, requesting financial assistance to cover his medical expenses.
Reports of the donation have been picked up on various social media platforms, with most users not being happy about it.
While some people condemned the sick rapper, others mocked the situation.
“Da Less “He should be transferred to a public hospital. It's very rude of his family to ask for donations when he's eating alone,” wrote a Twitter user.
