WHETHER he’s wearing Gucci Princetown leather slippers with an open shirt, a tracksuit while carrying a tote bag, or his fur coat, rapper Riky Rick has always had tongues wagging about what he has worn at red carpet events.

Last November it was these very same looks that had many talking that scooped the rapper - real names Rikhado Makhado - the Most Stylish Performing Artist in Music at the annual SA Style Awards. And now his Gucci filled life has been noticed by the label's creative director Alessandro Michele who's extended an invitation to the rapper to attend their shows in Milan.

This morning, the Sidlukotini rapper posted an image of himself on board a flight to Milan, captioned: "From Braamfontein to Milan chasing your dreams never felt so good" hinting about his trip to the Milan Fall/Winter Fashion Week 2017-2018. 

And the rapper admits that the brand "has been a long time favorite designer".

“The brand resonates with me and I’m excited to experience the brand on this intimate level,”
 said Makhado in a statement issued by his publicity team abroad.

Last month the rapper's eclectic style caught the attention of Vogue and New York Times street fashion photographer Acielle, while the 29-year-old musician was in France attending the Paris Fashion Week. 

And for this trip, dubbed the Gucci Milan Experience, King Kotini will also be meeting the Gucci President and CEO Marco Bizzarri, and attend a private Gucci showroom presentation. - release from Epiphany Agency

Joost tape is out for all to see...

Image
THE Joost van der Westhuizen sex tape saga descended into a tabloid frenzy last month as Heat magazine screened a grainy video purporting to show the former Springbok captain in compromising positions.  The 29-minute tape, which was shown to journalists, showed a man who bore some resemblance to Van der Westhuizen frolicking with what heat magazine described as a “vindictive young lady” wearing two G-strings “in the stripper tradition”.  It claimed that the video proved conclusively that Van der Westhuizen had cheated on his wife, singer Amore Vittone. But the magazine did not identify the woman and provided little corroborating evidence in the accompanying story. Twelve print, radio and television journalists watched the man, whom Van der Westhuizen strongly denies is him, arousing himself, running his hands over the woman’s body, and using a sex toy. Now HEAT has place the video up on their site.  Click HERE to see all this drama.
