Ladi6 has revealed she "nearly died" during her Waitangi Day holiday after having a severe allergic reaction to a bee sting.
The singer, whose real name is Karoline Tamati, posted about the ordeal on social media saying it took place in Mathesons Bay in Leigh, at 7pm on Monday.
She said she "nearly died, as my throat was closing and I was losing consciousness".
"Literally I was swollen with itchy hives all over my body, my face and throat were swelling shut within minutes of a single bee sting from a regular honeybee."
Tamati was flown to Auckland City Hospital in a serious condition by the Westpac Rescue Helicopter.
