"I don't celebrate suicide. This time I agree with you. Ricky Rick is a failure and... Took an easy way out."

@YesThatRuss commented:

"This one is needed what Riky did ain't it!"

"I totally agree with you Nota. Riky's death doesn't need to be celebrated/honoured. He turned out to be a weak man at the end. I don't condone such weakness from anyone, especially those with mouths to feed. Riky was weak and took the easy way out. Nxah! Now his loved ones suffer."

@Matlho_amy said:

"I don’t usually agree with your views, but today I 100% agree with you. We did love Ricky and his craft, but his departure from this world is not supposed to be honoured."
