Riky Rick, 34, is the second celebrity to have died by suicide this year. Veteran actor Patrick Shai was found dead in the garage of his home in January.

The muso was the founder and owner of record label Cotton Club Records. He was well-known for fashion and setting trends.

He managed to establish himself as one of the most popular figures in South Africa’s entertainment scene, and has had so much presence in different places.

Riky Rick is known by several other names including Boss Zonke, Master Makhado, Minister of Energy, and King Kotini.

The muso, who was married to Bianca Naidoo, has an interesting background. He was raised mainly by his maternal grandmother because he did not get the chance to grow up with his parents who divorced when he was a baby.

After that, his dad relocated to Johannesburg, and his mother, in pursuance of academia, studied locally and in the UK to qualify to become an advocate.

His untimely death comes just days after he announced a partnership deal with African Bank. The following message was the rapper’s last tweet.
