At the time, neither of them could have imagined that it would be their last exchange.
He stated:
“Just before he went to sleep we spoke about the future, staying positive and about everything we still had left to do. I never imagined that would be our last conversation.”

Born into a Nigerian family in London, Talay Riley developed a love for music from an early age.
Inspired by his siblings and the sounds of the early 1990s, he began singing at just five years old.
His career gained momentum when he appeared on rapper Chipmunk's 2009 hit single Look for Me on the UK Singles Chart.
Talay later signed major publishing and recording deals, building a reputation as a gifted songwriter and performer.
Despite those achievements, many believe his journey was only beginning.
As fans continue to mourn, Scribz Riley's final words remain a poignant reminder of a future that was never fully realised.
