Chatting with Bhuda T, Sizwe opened up about losing his son, a topic he had never spoken about aside from a brief mention on the remix of his star-studded hit, No Sleep.

The rapper revealed that his son had cerebral palsy, a disorder that's caused by abnormal brain development, often before birth, that disrupts the brain's ability to control movement and maintain posture and balance:

"When you're standing in that grave, and the casket goes down, you need your friends."

Twitter (X) user ThisIsColbert shared a clip from the interview:
