"As much as Junior and I had our differences and didn't like each other and the online beef that was going on, that's still a man, and no one deserves to lose their life."

He also addressed the fact that videos of the car crash were circulating online and called out the disrespect, especially given that Junior King was a father and husband.

"He was taken from us way too early. Rest in peace to that man, and I will be praying with and for his family. Even though I didn't know him personally, I know that God has him in His hands wherever he is now."

Weekend Argus added that Junior King, who was in the back seat with his children, was travelling towards Bloemfontein, Free State. The province's police stated that the two minors, along with the front-seat passenger, were rushed to a local hospital. The drivers of the Volkswagen Polo and truck escaped unharmed.
