Sengadi is applying for an interdict against the father of the late hip hop artist - whose real name is Jabulani Tsambo.

In court papers, she claims to be Tsambo's customary wife saying their marriage became valid in February 2016.

She wants the court to order HHP's father, Robert Tsambo to tell her where HHP's remains are being kept.

Earlier this week, HHP's family released a statement saying Sengadi is not and never was married to the musician.

They say the pair's plans to marry ended when Sengadi broke off the relationship and moved out of his home last year.

HHP's funeral is expected to take place in his hometown of Mmabatho. The 38-year-old was found dead last week.
