Media personality, Pearl Thusi has shared her disbelief after the Big Flexa singer’s death. “It’s wild when you’re making plans with someone, getting to know them… and then this happens,” she shared on social media. “This is so confusing – you’ve been championing me through one of the wildest decisions I’ve made. I’m not sure how I’ll do this without you?? I told everyone “I’ll be fine! Costa said he’s gonna hold my hand through the roll out!” Damn… I took too long… f*ck.”
The Queen Sono actress says, Costa was always kind and funny. “Always kind, funny, encouraging, supportive and a true creative. I hope however I roll that plan out now … I make you proud and you guide me. Because you promised Habibi! I should have gotten you those AirTags myself. “

Pearl says they were meant to catch up after rapper Kiernan “AKA” Forbes death who was gunned down in Durban with friend Tebello “Tibz” Mantsoane on 10 February. “We were still meant to meet and chop it up about Kiernan and how you’re /we’re coping. Busy schedules got in the way. I assumed I had tomorrow, next week, next month… we’ll keep that green light on,” she says. “Love to the Titch Gang, his close friends and his family. Costa was a real one. Thank you for sharing him with us. This is so difficult to process because you’d given everything and yet you still had so much to give. Rest in Power bro.” Pearl says it’s wild how he lived and transcended to the sound of his own music. “As I try and find something good to hold on to at this time- that seems to come up. You loved what you did till the very end. We’re proud of you, your work and your heart. Nkalakatha, big flexa.”
