His status as a fashion icon was cemented when he was awarded Most Stylish Male in Performing Art at the prestigious SA Style Awards.
Riky's strong entrepreneurial spirit saw him launch Cotton Club Records in 2017 and streetwear in 2018, which became a record-breaking range in SA.
His Cotton Festival which he launched in 2019, also became wildly successful.
