In another post, she said: “Love you forever, my son. I will always be so proud of you.”

The grieving mother also said she wished the Big Flexa hitmaker could “bounce back” to them in the caption of a video of the rapper at Bounce trampoline park.

After his death, Senegalese-American rapper Akon described Titch as “more than just an artist”, adding that he was “a brilliant superstar and hardworking man with a kind heart endeared to all around him”.

The pair collaborated on Big Flexa for its remix and performed at Cotton Fest in Johannesburg earlier this year.They also announced a “first of its kind” global deal with Akon’s record label, Konvict Kulture.

“I was convinced he was going to make an impact in this world,” he said. “Costa Titch had a vision that I knew for sure would take over the music industry globally and was on his way to doing just that when God’s plan intervened.”
