The details of the 38-year-old rapper's death are still sketchy but it is understood he was involved in an altercation with his girlfriend at the time of his death.

“I just got a call from his family. I will be on my way to his family’s home.”

He said that he cannot give details around Flabba's death. "I don't think I am in a shape to talk about it, all I know, whatever happened, is that I have lost a friend.

"Whatever the story is, he is not coming back," said the emotional Slikour.

Flabba was last seen by his friends and other celebrities, who did not want to be named, at JR's birthday celebration at The Sands in Sandton.
