Briefly News reported that Cassper Nyovest fondly recalled how he and Riky Rick met on Facebook many years before the latter rapper committed suicide – after battling depression and anxiety – at his home in Johannesburg north on 23 February.

Cassper and Riky became fast friends following that fateful day on social media, going on to make music together for what seemed like an eternity. But, in a sudden twist, their friendship faded and perplexed their fans, who came to realise the two had had a fallout.

Mufasa spoke openly about the break the friendship suffered when he took to the podium at a memorial service held for Riky at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg on Friday, TimesLIVE reported.
