The service of songs and night of tribute for late reality TV star, Rico Swavey, was held on Wednesday evening, October 19.
The event, which was held in honour of the Big Brother Naija star who died from injuries he sustained from a fatal car crash, was held in Victoria Island, Lagos and was well attended by his colleagues.
BBNaija stars, the likes of Alex, Dorathy Bachor, Kbrule, Cross, Phyna, Bella and the show host, Ebuka, were among those who graced the occasion.
Photos and videos from the event have been shared online. See below,
Meanwhile, BBNaija stars who attended Rico’s service of song have been dragged by Nigerians for drinking shortly after the event.
Big Brother Naija star, Dorathy, had taken to her Twitter page to share a video of herself and her fellow stars singing, possibly smoking, and holding up their glasses to ‘celebrate Rico’s life’ and it caused split opinions on the micro-blogging website.
We love you Rico 🕊🕊🕊, she’d captioned the video but she wouldn’t have expected the level of dragging that ensued in the comment section. Read here.
Reacting a Twitter user, Muyiwa wrote, “That guy was 29, he died few days to his birthday. You guys couldn’t even be sober at his candle light service. Any excuse just to flex and post for the gram. It’s so insensitive to be singing that forever young song too, Rico didn’t want to live forever young? Disgraceful”.
