[@rojamson6642]

I’m only 22, grew up on this guy’s music as a kid.. funny thing is I’ve never watched any of his interviews but i can tell he’s what he preaches in his music, a very smart man too and nobody is perfect but mane i really love that he acknowledges that.. long live to Bongikosi., i wish to meet him one day.. and ever since i took this path of being a music artist myself I’ve been longing to have a man to man conversation him just to get some game.. wish that dream comes true.. either than that I’m forever giving him his flowers while he’s still alive... and may he find peace from whatever that they put him through, i never had an idea that they manipulated him this much.. let alone that there’s people that hate him because of what the media said about him.
