BIG C said:

"I don’t care what no one says I don’t care whether kayla was a side or the girlfriend to me she was the last person he loved romantically and to me they created magic together I made a video the start of the year with their first song and I said to people don’t sleep on this duo and the fact that there will no longer be this duo I can’t deal.😭😭😭😭 I’m a hip hop person, I separate the art from the artist. I don’t care who was sleeping with whom. I look at the talent and the craft, and together in the dance and music industry, they were magic, if not the best duo ever in South Africa 😭😭😭😭."

Diandra Gosh Hill Hi replied:

"This girl has the right 100% to make Junior King pass about her. She was with him from day one. She stood with him; she never went to other producers or whatever. She stood with him until the very end .....so if you want to see his wife, go straight to her profile, but this here is about Junior and her."

"All I've seen the last year is Medusa and Junior, she knew him. They were besties, we all saw the chemistry daily bt at the end of the day, it was their business. People are too invested in lives they don't live... Let them grieve, all of them, his wife, his baby mammas, his parents, his siblings, and his friends. 🙏 RIP Junior, one of the 1st people I started following when I joined TT bout 6 yrs ago, loved his dancing, rapping, and how he loved his family."

"She made his whole death about how people hated him and how she supported him🙂😓."
