Vyno On Finding Out About Riky Rick’s Passing After His #BBMzansi Eviction. Ricky Rick passed away in the early morning of 23 February 2022, and South Africa has been mourning the loss of a great rapper, style icon and father ever since. But while the country had a chance to come to terms with the devastating loss of Rikhado “Riky Rick” Makhado, Big Brother contestant Musician Vyno Miller, real name Bongani Sikhukhula, had been in the secluded house and was unaware that his friend and colleague has passed away.
Vyno was given the bad news a day after eviction and is struggling to process it. “It’s still shockingly new to me,” he says in a calm tone.“It’s very sensitive. I don’t know how people have been grieving outside of the house, but I am not okay,” he said.
Being out of the Big Brother house, Vyno feels fresh and slightly renewed. “I loved every moment of it and there’s nothing I would have done differently,” he says.“I came into the house and everything I’ve done has always been a reflection of me. I am fully excited and content with how I played my game. I don’t know why I was chosen to leave but I am content.”
He’d expected to be out in the first week, he admits. “I didn’t think I was gonna last this long. I planned a maximum of two weeks. I expected people would get me out earlier because I was already in the industry and that meant I had an advantage over other people who were not known yet. But I am glad I lasted longer. My music was already out, I knew I had an advantage. I chose to be myself. I enjoyed everyone in their differences.”
