And, you know, I’ve struggled with this for a while, but I decided to just do it anyway after speaking to the family. So in honour of his memory, I am releasing The First Lady, a movie that started this whole friendship over 11, 12 years ago. It’s on Omonyi TV today. The proceeds will go to the family; I mean the entire proceeds will go to the family. So please watch, re-watch, forward to everybody you know to watch. This is just another way for me to pay my respects to him and those he’s left behind. Love you all so much, besties. You are forever in our hearts, bestie. Love you forever.”
