Cape Town – South African controversial YouTuber Slik Talk ruffled some feathers on social media this week with his now-deleted video in which he made some “insensitive comments” about Rikhado “Ricky Rick” Makhado’s wife Bianca Naidoo.
Ricky Rick, 34, died on Wednesday last week. He committed suicide as a result of a mental health battle, according to TrueLove.
Slik Talk, in his video, accused Bianca, saying that she should have done something to help her husband deal with depression.
He wanted to know what efforts Bianca made to help Ricky deal with depression.
“Riky Rick has been contemplating this suicide for two years, I know it, and a lot of people who listen to his music know it…where was Bianca in all of this?,” said Slik Talk.

He continued: “My thing is, where was Bianca in all of this? I’m sorry but I have to ask the question. Where was the person sleeping next to him every night when he was going through all these troubles? Because I knew it, a lot of people knew it…did Bianca know it?

“Bianca I’m sorry, but we have to have the difficult conversation. Were you there for this man when he needed you the most? Because we can all tell that Riky Rick was pouring from an empty cup. He needed the help and support. He had a lot of pressure and had a lot of stress.”
Tweeps quickly responded to Slik Talk’s utterances, with many rallying behind Bianca Naidoo and accusing the YouTuber of being “insensitive, disrespectful”.

Slik Talk needs to apologise to Bianca she can’t be blamed for the late Riky’s passing. She is still grieving, she lost the father of her kids and her soulmate. Riky did mention in the note that it isn’t her fault.
Slik is disgusting and insensitive!— ☭ Mmaps_T (@Melanin_Mmaps) March 3, 2022

Knowing how much Riky Rick loved his wife, at least respect him by not disrespecting her while she is still in mourning her husband. There is nothing right about what Slik Talk is asking regarding Bianca. NOTHING.
