It may have been three years since the tragic passing of the multi-award-winning rapper Riky Rick, but the legacy he left behind is strongly ingrained in the DNA of his children.
Maik and Jordon, the son and daughter of the late Stay Shining hitmaker, were recently the first guests of the very first episode of the 5FM podcast, called Kidversations. The show, which is hosted by Jodell Tantij, aims to shine a light on the children of some of South Africa’s biggest media personalities, allowing them to tell their stories through their lens.
During the premiere of the show, Maik and Jordan showcased their skills in the kitchen, a hidden talent very few might have known about – and the best part of it all is that their dad inspired it.
Like any teenager, the siblings pride themselves on living normal and simple lives centred around video games, food, the arts, and fashion, and claim that much of what inspires them comes from online platforms like TikTok and Pinterest.
Similar to their father, both have what it takes to make it in the entertainment scene, with Maik admitting to occasionally rapping when surrounded by friends, while he reckoned that his sister Jordan was a talented singer.
During the episode with Jodell, Jordan cooked up a delicious burger slide inspired by a TikTok video. She mentioned that one of her fondest memories of her dad was making these easy-to-cook meals.
She highlighted that now and then, she finds herself listening to some of her dad’s songs like Buy It Out.
“I think I listen to more of his songs now, compared to back then,” Jordan highlighted.
While reflecting on the time spent with them, she jokingly recalled that they were often not allowed to play any song in his car, other than the songs he made.
“A lot of the music from the album was music that we’ve heard, then. We’ve just been waiting to come out and hear it like done, so it’s really what I’ve been playing.”
