@Cloud Mabasa Hayibo Slikour loves to talk.
I always say to the youngstars, if you were born in Sandton like suburbs, or you were born in townships, please find out where your fathers' or forefathers' rural areas are. When you have money, please go and ask your piece of land there, and build your Sandton house with every luxurious stuff you may need, whilst you still have money and you are famous. Please bantwana bam. YOU WILL BE FREE FROM PAYING EXPENSIVE BONDS FOR LIFE. Most importantly, you will be amongst your forefathers, immerse and converse with them, whenever you want to. You can easily escape pressure, and frustrations, diasappear from the public for a moment, and go to your free bond mansion house in rural areas, relax there, and recieve your blessings from your Heavenly Father and your forefathers. Our ancestors are not found in townships and suburbs. They are waiting for you in rural areas. But please note, buy houses In townships and suburbs, with investment motives for your family. My dear sons and daughters, I love you!!

My take- let's build young people's confidence, self-contentment, inner happiness. Not this comparing oneself thing, Instagram fakish life. Am saying bcoz even in rural areas, these young people kill themselves before they even achieve anything, I come from there.

Hey Nozi. As an up and coming artist, your message is well received. Siyabonga 🙏🏾
Riky Rick A real intelligent brother We will never forget you BOYSNBUCKS! 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🔥
The realest rapper to ever come out of South Africa... R. I. P Riky Ricky you will be my favourite.. Real talk here. The album he was talking was it released...
WE NEVER DIE !!! WE MULTIPLY !!! ❤️🙏🏽🍃
The guy who is interviewing Ricky really did the work. His understanding on how he felt hopeless, and him pulling back to save himself shows that he really worked on it and came out on the other end . I wish Ricky had reached the same level of understanding and acceptance of himself and had the opportunity to get to the root of them. RIP

That’s Slikour? You don’t know him?😳
Long live Riky, thanks Slikour for capturing moments with him
Very sad and thinking of those that suffer silently with depression, so much love from the West Coast
Dam Ricky showed all the signs , very intelligent and wise brother, wisdom comes at a price , the realer he got the more pain he felt ,the more people betrayed him, hated him , hurt him, he has all the characteristics of a chosen one , I believe there are some of us who have this calling or purpose and we die young, it's scary how much I see myself in these type of people, if you feel like this was your calling you know what I'm talking about
This nigga needed more people who could tell him the truth around him. It's such a damn shame man, this dude was solid, a real real one. Bless Makhado.🙏🏾

I'm scared of his honesty... realizing how we really all human
This interview puts alot into perspective 23:02:2022 🥺...Daim Makhado, it doesn't erase the pain though. True Kings don't die they multiply 🕯️🕊️
This can’t be from 3 years ago! Wow, Ricky was ahead. RIP King.
WOW, Riky is one the realest dude ever, the best Balcony interview. Thank you for being honest and the profound advice you have given. much love.
Avicii committed suicide right at the height of his career, Riki reminds me of him. When I read the statement that was written by Avicii’s it made sense both artist experienced the same emotions and feelings. “An over-achieving perfectionist who travelled and worked hard at a pace that led to extreme stress. When he stopped touring, he wanted to find a balance in life to be happy and be able to do what he loved most - music. He really struggled with thoughts about Meaning, Life, Happiness. He could not go on any longer. He wanted to find peace.”Avicii’s Family statement Riki wanted to find peace Thats it. Major/severe depression its “the devil” its not easy wrestling your thoughts everyday; and you have to depend on pills “happy pills” to find balance and function better. All you want its peace, break free or runaway from your body and how do you achieve that …suicide. Let us respect him and his family, whether he had financial problems or not, thats not our business.

My favs, wisdom and brotherhood. It's amazing how I grew up loving Slikour and when Ricky came up I loved him as well.. Funny how they are both engens, outspoken leaders and strong men...thank you for sharing your down moments. God will always keep strong
RIP Riki. Be saved in the arms of God.The family must stay strong and have peace.😥
The realness in this interview, S/O riky n slikour for this.. Some of us needed to hear what you guys been talking about 🙌🙌🙌
If you are watching this after his death like this comment. So sad RIP
RIP Riky Rick we will always remember you king!

Ricky Rick was a man full of wisdom. Gone too soon.
Thank you for the time spent, The talk, All the Real Thank You once more for this, Its all love.
Will always treasure this interview. Thank you and love you both, God bless you! You were such an angel RiRk. Sometimes going back to basics helps to humble us and change our mindset to calm the overdrive🙌🙌🙌
Rip ricky ricky .Gone too young our hearts bleeds.
Thank You Riky. Never needed a number 1 to be my fav.
What a rare gem we lost 😞 please understand that life is tough but we’re tougher in Christ. Set your mind on the things above because our journey on earth is temporary. What we all need is a real relationship with Jesus Christ. Let’s pick up our Bible and stay close to the word of God🙏🙏🙏🙏Rip King
Dam this interview cuts Deep 😖😖😖😖long Live Ricky Rick 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 it was his soul that touched us 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊Thank You Sliqour for giving our brother the Podium to shine and express himself
Thanks for being Real Ricky... Your story touched me man.
this guy is a great interviewer he gives a person full time to express himself,, he doesn`t interrupt... because sometimes we interview celebrities we only want them to respond to what u are asking only not what they feel or what they want to express
Thank you KZread Algorithm...i am here now..Two superstars with the same views..Very insightful .. #RIPRickyRick
Ricky got Raw on this.... much love heaven had a recall....
RIP Riky Rick bro, life is not easy for any of us... Here you silently shared your story and cried out for help but no one understood. I hope you find yourself forgiveness and peace brother 🙏🙏🙏
Happiness is result reliant, Joy is the feeling we get from doing what we’re fashioned to do. RIP Riky 🕊

Sorry Man, Rest in Enternal Peace
Life of an artist is so difficult on so many levels!
I experience it too. It feels, inevitable, it's like everything you do including taking those mood stabilizers, sleeping pills, following routine, psychologist visits, it's all to delay the countdown. So you start making rash decisions, short term pleasure things, including self sabotage whether it's drinking or not showing up to work/lectures or cutting people who care about you off. People have different ways of this. The joy of looking forward to the long term dreams gets slowly stripped away and it's like a sinking hole. Your life becomes something you slowly lose presence in, you fight, but nonetheless the things you do start to feel less & less genuine. Then once the fuel runs out, your tank is empty, at this stage anything can take you down. Small things tick you off. It's just terrible. I don't know where his comes from, but mine comes from 12 years of bullying in school & pretty much, having no strong foundation at home. I thought I got past that because I finished school, moved out, went to varsity & did what needed to be done, but now the demons are catching up with me. Rest in Peace, I know that you fought. 🕊

Celebrity life style is hard on it's own......kids needs to know the real truth. You can't be your true self n be a Celebrity at the same time. That's why we speak of sacrificing yourself...not only in the secret society
Riky seems like that dude who wanted to be rich and famous so much but when he got all that hes kinda bored with it like he wants his normal life back. idk he seems like that

Depression is something else I too was twice depressed two consecutive years, and I am grateful to have beaten it and came out in conquest Can't prescribe the therapeutic maneuver cos it's a personal struggle and battle Only he who is depressed can only comprehend it
This is so relevant right now.
Loving his hands moving like that when he talks, classy niggah. May his soul rest in peace.👑

Painful I only get to understand Ricky Rik now, and I can see he was a good guy but battling with depression
There is need to unpack this more.
Love the interview ❤️
When AKA said he doesn't need more than one car because he doesn't need it and people said he's broke then he now recently posted his SARS statement of paying over 5 million in over 3-4 years they still said he's broke but nobody is coming forth and saying "but guys, actually why the hell are we paying so much money when it's not being used for the good of the people paying it" and "how do we actually counteract that because it can't be" mara fede let's keep thuggin it out otherwise sizoba ma meme .
Good conversation! Nice one
Guys let's Check On Makwa n Dj Sbu if they Okay n Also Minnie Dlamini plz
R.I.P. Ricky, Im stunned by this.
I like how rick pose question.. And say mmmm😹😹😹jajaja!! But how they share each others story..that dope then sqlique posing question all the time.. Dialogue is more fun then interview
Came back to this interview when I heard the news. 🕊💔😔
Im depressed and all I that makes me wanna live is all tha material things i want.But now that Ricky did that to himself I understood that he had it all and didn't see a reason to live for💔!!
Money and fame come at the expense of one's sanity, hence it is said one sells their soul
Wow Riky you don't know what you jus installed inside me.. ..Thank you Slikour | Thank you God

Real talk Rick u just nailed it
Man, I'm a fan and I'm telling artists to say, "fuck fads and fans who love it". Fuck that "wave" shit. We need authenticity (do you). I don't listen to club shit, I hear it in the club and I'll dance. But I am drawn to viscerality, to emcees who just pour their souls and hearts out on a record. That's why my favourite emcees will always be Pac, DMX and Em. Those motherfuckers saved my life in a way (I have had four suicide attempts due to clinical depression). I would put their records on, ball my eyes out and leave at least a bit relieved coming out of that room ("Slippin" by DMX is my joint for life). I'm of the belief that if an artist becomes a friend of the fan (through telling their truth in an honest way, in any way they see fit on a record), they become a distant yet intimate friend of the fan. That fan will fuck with you for life. That is how you maintain a fan base that will support you forever (even posthumously). I love human artists, I don't like celebrities (I'm not a celebrity and like that dude who looked into Riky's eyes, I see so many artists in pain but trying to keep the facade in interviews. It shows). Peace and love to Slik (you're a fucking idol of mine) and to Riky too ✌ Love from the WC.
This is the best shit ever bro, hai siyabonga.
Rip ricky ricky .Gone too young
Slikour My you spoken well about the default setting as i do a self introspection
That point about the output of energy and the product is still so relevant. Good interview. 🙏🏾🔥
Rikys on to something, yeah Sjava showing is venerability is what attracts the people, Post Malon is another one PatrickxxLee is on that tip
Balanced interview . . . like Ricky interviewing Slik & vice versa!!!
Come to me all you who labor n heavy laden n I will give you rest said Jesus. Amen
you guys talking some real shit.... shout out to you guys.
The question is... do we make it by default or by design?
This is hitting differently after the fact...
