Bianca talked at his burial about how he was and always will be the love of her life.

Bianca Naidoo referred to the musician as her soulmate, promising to honor his memory, carry out his mission, and guarantee that his legacy continues on.

“He often said I was saving his life without realizing that he too was saving mine. My king, my heart, my forever love thank you for giving us all you had.

Thank you for choosing me, teaching me, and for believing in us. I will forever be grateful for the gift of you. I promise to give our children all your life and mine.”
