That time Kenny Lattimore took SA star to hospital for anxiety

We can thank American RnB crooner Kenny Lattimore for helping local muso Donald get the urgent medical help he needed to overcome a traumatic anxiety attack, while in the States. 

Donald was all alone in the streets of LA when he was suddenly hit with an attack he said racked him in pain and nearly brought him tears. Not knowing that it was anxiety hitting him like left a punch from a WWE wrestler, Donald called Kenny.

"It was so painful. I actually wanted to cry. It was my first time experiencing anxiety and I had no idea what that meant. I had an anxiety attack in LA. I was all alone," Donald told Tumi Morake on WTF Tumi this week.

Kenny explained that he raced to the scene and took him to a number of hospitals to get treatment as Donald's condition refused to let up.

"I picked him up and took him to the hospital. We went to three hospitals. It was Sunday and everything was piled up with people. We took him to an urgent care (clinic) but he still wasn't well so I took him to a more established hospital."

The pair have remained close friends ever since they heated up the studio together on their 2014 collab Spirit.

As difficult as it was to open up about his struggles, Donald has never been scared to speak about his emotions. He once told Drum that he did not care what people thought of him showing his softer side.

"Yes I am a sensitive guy, I am a 21st century man. I am not afraid to show how I feel. Some people may see it as weak but I really don’t mind."

Part of that may come from him being bullied in school

"I have always lived a shy life, generally. I only come alive on stage... Growing up I was very soft but I lacked confidence. The boys would bully me a lot so I constantly had to defend myself, in many ways, as I grew up. For the longest time I used to ask myself why people liked to treat me like that," he told Anele Mdoda during an interview on Real Talk with Anele last year.
