Somizi started by expressing that he is numb after the news of his friend’s passing.
“I am numb… I no longer know how to feel and react to the news of loss of loved ones… we definitely are living on borrowed time,” he wrote.
Telling the story of their last chat, which was the day before DJ Sumbody was killed, Somizi says that the musician had sent him a poster of his All-White Veuve Clicquot Picnic which was sent to take place on Sunday, 20 November.
“I then offer to post for him but he just says YEP… then I tell him to have manners which he still doesn’t get it why I say so which he decides to video call to get clarity then I tell him that he’s supposed to say pls and thanks when someone shows acts of kindness which we laugh about and at that time he was at a salon getting groomed [sic]
“His last words to me were don’t forget to wear white tomorrow coz it’s gonna look like we are in heaven,” Somizi shared.
