Bianca Naidoo speaks about the late Riky Rick’s mental health struggles. The rapper died on February 23 2022 at the age of 34 after taking his life. Rick was known to have battled depression for years, and in a recent interview, his wife opened up on the causes of his depression.

“He wanted to do more than he was actually doing, he wanted to make a difference. When I look at it now, I feel like he probably didn’t feel like he was doing enough and that was definitely something that hurt … just with a lot of the things that have been happening in the country and in the industry.

“Riky did struggle with addiction and had a very good run and then, unfortunately, struggled again towards the end. That was hard for him to feel like he’s kind of failed, but I have to say we held him close through all those moments. We gave him so much love, even though he felt that he wasn’t worthy of it probably.”
