Kuli Roberts was a loving mother who was also a passionate entertainment and media industry veteran and a furious crusader against injustice. This is how the late journalist and media figure was described by friends, colleagues, and loved ones.

Chriselda Kananda, a close friend, and renowned musician Yvonne Chaka Chaka were among those who paid tribute.

“In the media sector, she was an unstoppable force.” She is no longer with us, yet she will never be forgotten. Chriselda Kananda adds, “She was constant in every interview, giving her narrative, sharing her journey, speaking up against injustice, and making sure we knew why she was here.”

“I once told Kuli, ‘You don’t love me, you love Brenda Fassie,’ and she replied, ‘Of course, Brenda Fassie is my homegirl,’ but I love you because you are my homegirl.”

“There are no words to adequately express how we are feeling right now,” said family spokesperson Sheikani Makhado, speaking to the Daily Sun.

Sheikani said that they are trying to come to terms with Riky Rick’s death.

“It was difficult to wake up knowing that we had lost such a valued family member,” he added.

To Sheikani and his family, the Amantombazane hit-maker was the most important person in their lives as a family.

The man said that his mother was “trying to be tough for the sake of the family” and that his brother’s wife, Bianca, was “inconsolable.” “We can’t argue with the fact that we made him available to the rest of the world, and we are grateful for the expressions of support we have received.” The rapper, whose true name was Rikhado Makhado, and who was affectionately known as the “King of Kotini,” died on Wednesday, February 23, after committing himself at his home.

According to his close buddy Thato “L-Tido” Madonsela, who spoke to the Daily Sun, nothing could have prepared them for what had happened.
 

“I’m in a state of shock. Riky and I had a great relationship. He was nice and constantly wanted to see happiness in the lives of others.”

a public figure in the media Riky was characterized as “love embodied” by Boity Thulo.

Ricky made everyone he came into contact with feel seen and heard. “Even those who did not know him personally are affected by his death in a way that is profound,” she said. Mr. Sean Watson, managing director of Sony Music Africa, expressed his admiration for Riky’s dedication to his trade.

“The energy Riky leaves behind will reverberate indefinitely, and his work will stand as a testament to an unforgettable moment of mastery in the history of our country’s hip-hop movement,” says the author.

According to Kgomotso Maskoane, a psychologist, a variety of factors might have contributed to the rapper’s death by suicide.

“Depression may be misleading in its appearance. The things he was expressing in his writings were essentially him saying farewell, but as humans, we are not always aware of the significance of what he is saying. “We were under the impression that he was merely getting better, but he had already made up his mind,” she said.

She speculated that someone on social media, with whom he was already struggling, could have said something that pushed him over the line, causing him to commit himself.

AKA shared message to all men following the passing of Ricky Rick. AKA said that he’s seen so much of suicide lately and he can’t even feel anything anymore. He spoke about how society tells men to be strong but the stats show that men commit suicide more than women do. AKA encouraged people to start new things for a better mental health. He said something must change.

DJ Zinhle has always been known for her fitness fanatic ways and is renown for her “snap back” body after her pregnancies. However this time she had a different kind of motivator. She revealed the hilarious way in which Kairo inspired her to hit the gym.
It isn’t the cute little reason you’d think it is.

The “Umlilo” musician responsed to a fan who was asking her how she managed to lose belly fat when she gave birth in September. She responded with an anecdote about her eldest daughter. She wrote, “Two months ago I went to pick Kairo up from school and she basically asked me if I was pregnant again because my stomach was still big. I immediately started working out and have been on a strict diet because, wow! 😂”

You’ll remember that Zinhle shared her pregnancy journey with us on her reality show, The Unexpected. She gave us a glimpse into her life with Kairo, her partner Murdah Bongz and even her face without makeup! She was real and raw with us and people appreciated that. It also delved into the reality of being a woman and having children with different men. She left no stone unturned.

Social Media Response
People on Twitter were laughing all throughout the comments about Kairo’s words. One user claimed to be avke to relate and they wrote, “Even my daughter she keeps on saying mummy are you having another baby”
