During an interview with eNCA, Tony Forbes explained how he and his family are trying to come to terms with the passing of the Sim Dope hitmaker.

He said:

"We're hanging in there, but it's incredibly challenging. After seven months, you begin to reach a point where life continues, yet I still keenly feel the absence of him not being with us.

"Some days are tough, some are better, and I anticipate this rollercoaster will persist for some time. It's not solely about losing a child, it's also about the circumstances surrounding it and the enduring emotional impact. The tears are always near the surface, and anything can set off a wave of emotions."
