hitztv earlier reported that Rico was involved in a ghastly accident and rushed to an undisclosed hospital where he is currently battling for his life.
Fellow reality star Alex Unusual disclosed the sad news in a Twitter post on Tuesday, calling for prayers. Alex tweeted:
“Good morning sweethearts. Please put @iamricoswavey in your prayers today. He was involved in a ghastly accident hours ago and the doctors are still trying to resuscitate him as I just left the hospital. It’s really critical. I’m staying positive.”
After the tweet, some blogs reported that the star had died. Reacting to the rumour on Twitter, Alex retweet the report, debunked it and asked the blog to take down the tweet.
The 26-year-old said that although Rico is not stable, he is very much alive. She wrote:
“God forbid bad thing. Where exactly did you hear this your news from biko? I reject it. He is not stable yet but he is very much alive. Kindly take down this tweet. God bless you.”
