THE RIKY RICK FOUNDATION LAUNCHES STRONGER

More than a year after Riky Rick's death, a new single was released in his honour. 

Using artificial intelligence (AI) and Riky’s words from his social media posts, fans get to hear his voice one more time. The song was woven together by Riky’s longtime collaborators Ganja Beatz, Audio Militia and lyricist Lebo Machudi.

BOITY THULO RETURNS TO MUSIC 

Tweeps had mixed reactions to Boity Thulo announcing her musical comeback, and that there is also a possible big feature brewing. 

The media personality-turned-rapper took to her social media timeline to share a short clip of her doing an unofficial remake of Loatinover Pounds's Sosh Plata.

“I’m back in studio so I decided to play around with one of my fave tracks, #SoshPlata. We can call this one the unofficial #QueenMix,” she captioned the post. 

ROUGE IS OFFICALLY OFF THE MARKET 

Rapper Rouge and her longtime partner Macmillan Mabaleka announced their engagement.

“Here I thought the 10th of June would just be my Baptism date and giving my life to God again. Nope ,Rouge is engaged of course it was going to be him,” she wrote. 

PEARL THUSI'S BOOBS TOP TRENDS LISTS 

Media personality Pearl Thusi charted the trends list after she posted snaps of herself in a risqué jumpsuit. 

Her outfit, where her boobs are visible through the sheer top, got people talking when she posted it on her Instagram timeline a few days ago. 

Responding to the backlash, Pearl took to her Instagram stories, telling her followers to never let anyone police their life choices.

“Live your lives, ladies. You don't need anyone's permission,” she wrote.
