"I can’t believe I’m typing this, saying RIP to you. A young man full of life. You were a light in any room you walked into. Your Kasi swag was unmatched. You were a dreamer. You were a believer. One of the most respectful people I have ever come across. You didn’t follow the crowd, which is why you always stood out.
"Thank you for leaning on us for guidance, career and life advice. It was an honour being one of your many older brothers. Thank you for teaching me how to be brave publicly. Thank you so much for showing the kid in the hood that it was possible. Your legacy will outlive you. Your daughter will be so proud to know that she had an incredible Dad and that you loved her mom so deeply," he wrote.

SirVincent further mentioned that it is difficult to accept that he is dead and they won't get to see him laugh, smile and cry again.

He wrote:

"This is hard to swallow. Just the other day, you were calling seeking advice about wedding venues. Thank you to your mom and family for borrowing you to us. You were love, you were a remarkable talent that owned each and every stage. There’s nothing I can say that can help make this make sense. But in everything we choose to put God first. I will always love you, Gubevu ntwana yam. Thank you for everything. Sleep well."
