The Big Brother is one big party for the entire nation where we get to live out a life of partying without leaving out home and it’s always a vibe. This time there was a bittersweet note to things when DJ Capital played Riky Rick songs during his set.
His tribute had all the viewers in their feelings and it wasn’t easy to see housemates sing word-for-word
This tribute quickly got very emotional for viewers as they were all aware that Riky is no longer with us. I found myself tearing up as well at the realization that the man who gave us such amazing songs and vibes is actually gone. It felt suspended in the air but its official now and there no way to avoid it anymore.
Social Media Response
The housemates were so excited to hear his music and they are a reflection of how people felt about him. It became a memorial of sorts on the timeline for Riky Rick with people streaming in messages of remembrance.
One user wrote, “Not DJ Capital playing Boss Zonke😭♥️Rest easy Ricky🕊❤#BBMzansi”
While another thanked the DJ, writing, “DJ Capital thanks for playing Riky Rick songs❤️💐😭 That time Housemates are clueless ukuthi whats going outside and they were happy to hear Boss Zonke songs 😭#BBMzansi”
Personal Thoughts
It’s such a moving moment to have to hear Riky’s voice and realise he will forever be immortalize because of his music, his legacy will live on forever to those of us who loved him. Ot was just surreal to watch the housemates groove effortlessly without knowing the painful reality awaiting them on the outside. Vyno especially who happens to be friends with him. Its heartbreaking. His family must be going through the most emotionally.
I sincerely believe that he is at peace now. RIP Riky Rick. King Kotini. Boss Zonke. You will be remembered.🕊🕊
Thank you for you time!
