South Africa Rapper Riky Rick, real name Rikhado Makhado, has died. He was 34 years old.
According to Sunday World, the Sidlukotini hitmaker committed suicide at his home in Johannesburg, this morning.
However, the publication’s sources reveal that Riky Rick ended his own life due to depression. Another source alleged that he hung himself with a rope and died on his way to the hospital.
At this stage, his family has not issued a statement confirming nor denying the reports. Several celebrities including his friends have been tweeting about him with broken heart emojis. Others are even sharing pictures of him and his wife with broken hearts emojis.
The musician posted a cryptic tweet where he said ” I’ll return a stronger man. This land is still my home.”
Riky Rick burst into mainstream fame with his platinum-certified Family Values in 2015 after making a name for himself and asserting his influence in SA hip-hop culture for several years behind the scenes.

One of his greatest achievements, in addition to his musical legacy, is the establishment of the Cotton Festival, which was due to make a comeback in 2022 after taking a break thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic.
