It’s been a lengthy battle but Bianca Naidoo can finally breathe a sigh of relief as she has been appointed executor of Riky Rick’s estate.
This comes after the Department of Home Affairs abandoned its attempts to stop the long-term partner of the late hip hop icon from benefitting of his material wealth.
The department was however opposed to recognising Bianca as Riky Rick’s legal wife.
Bianca’s fight to be appointed executor of Riky Rick’s estate, began earlier this year when it was discovered that the artist and entrepreneur did not have a will in place before reportedly taking his life.
Despite Riky’s family standing by Bianca and supporting she be recognised as his wife, the department was opposed to this and argued that she be declared his permanent opposite sex life partner.
What this means is Bianca will now be appointed executor of Riky Rick’s estate as his permanent life partner.
Naidoo and Riky Rick were never legally married and the couple began cohabiting soon after they met in 2013.
While the couple did not undertake lobola, Bianca says Riky Rick presented her with a promise ring in 2015 and that both their families supported their relationship.
Bianca who has a daughter from her previous failed marriage, is also the mother to Riky Rick’s son.
The couple lived together in their family home at the Waterfall Estate, where Bianca will now continue to reside with her children.
