Bianca Nadioo will soon be recognised as Riky Rick’s wife

Bianca Nadioo, the late Ricky Rick’s wife could be given the greenlight to be recognised as Ricky Rick’s wife sooner rather than later.

In August 2022 many fans were left speechless after finding out that the hitmaker was never officially married to his wife, who is also the mother of his kids. 

Many news outlets reported that Bianca Nadioo was reportedly taking legal action in bid to be appointed as the executor of his estate and Bianca would like to be recognised as his wife.

According to a report published by Sunday World, Bianca was facing off against the Joburg Master of the High Court and Home Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi. However it has now been reported by EWN that the Home Affairs department has abandoned its bid to stop Bianca from being recognised as Ricky Rick’s legal wife.    

The late hitmaker and his wife Bianca have been together for over a decade and together they have two children. 

According to many reports which state that Riky Rick didn’t have a will, in such cases the master of the court has had to determine an executor for the rapper’s estate.

In the legal papers reportedly seen by the Sunday World, Bianca said “as a pair they lived as a married couple, were committed to each other and that they never felt the need to formalise their union,” the paper wrote. 

According to Bianca their families have recognised them as a married couple since 2013.

Riky bought her a promise ring in 2015 and another in 2020.

Bianca has continued Riky’s legacy. It was announced on Tuesday, after a successful Cotton Fest in Johannesburg, for the first time Cape Town will experience the diverse culture gathering as well in December.

Cotton Fest Johannesburg took place in April in memory of the late rapper.
