The memorial service of the late South African artsist Riky Rick was recently hosted and the friends and family of the late artist all attended in order to show respect to the fallen soldier for the last time.

Uncle Vinny, who his real names are Kabelo Ndlovu, was also one of the people who attended the memorial service of Rikhado Muziwendlovu Makhado. Uncle Vinny was able to open up for the first time about the relationship he had with Riky Rick.

Speaking in the memorial service, Uncle Vinny mostly opened up about the huge role that Mr Makhado played in his life. It all started when Uncle Vinny was only 15 years old doing grade 9, that is when he was able to catch the attention of Riky Rick.

After that, Uncle Vinny always made sure that he is close to Riky Rick. Uncle Vinny revealed how he used to brag about being a friend of Riky Rick in school – after interviewing the late artist in a radio show.

Riky Rick then introduced Uncle Vinny to the entertainment industry. He would ask Uncle Vinny to accompany him to the gigs where Riky Rick would be performing. Uncle Vinny also revealed that the late Rikhado Makhado would give him money in order to buy food.

Uncle Vinny did admit that things were not easy for him at home as they were struggling, however, meeting Riky Rick turned things around.

As a good guy, Riky Rick once helped Uncle Vinny with transport money at the Nasty C concert when Uncle Vinny did not even know how to get home. After that, Riky Rick always made sure that Vinny does not have issues when it comes to attending his gigs.

Makhado was also able to give Vinny his first ever main stage at his concert called Cotton fest.
