Award-winning businessman and founder of Bathu, Theo Baloyi pays homage to the late Riky Rick.
Riky Rick, who was not only a pioneer but consistently at the forefront of music, fashion, art, and culture was laid to rest on Tuesday, 1 March 2022, a week after he reportedly died of suicide.
Not only did the death of Riky Rick come as a shock to many South Africans, but his death echoed conversations around mental health issues specifically with men, and the importance of seeking help.
In his tribute, Theo customized a pair of yellow Bathu sneakers with a portrait of Riky Rick, coupled together with one of the late rapper’s favourite quotes: “We don’t die, we multiply”.
Theo shared a picture of his tribute to his Instagram, commemorating the life and legacy of Mr Boss Zonke, Riky Rick.
As tributes continue to pour in, it’s safe to say that all ongoing support is a testament to who Riky was as an artist and the legacy he has left behind.
