This morning, he shared another video of the pair working on their album and penned down a sad and heartwarming caption.
The caption read, “Costa and the bois are the only people that showed Kiernan so much love when he was down, out and cancelled. They brought him back to life and showed him so much love. Kiernan was the reason why we did a deal with Costa, for weeks he’d call me saying “Nivo!!! trust me” fast forward Titch got one of the biggest Amapiano records of all time, toured 21 countries last year alone. Work ethic like no other, the nicest guy on earth. Yesterday we were just joking with his mom about how even when he’s mad and tryna shout he’d sound so polite. I never expected this one, I’m running on zero emotions, I can’t believe that we have to do this again… A month later ?”
