In his words, he wrote, “She is my rock, my anchor and my direction. When I wanna buy that new car, she says “RELAX, LETS BUILD SOMETHING WITH SHELDON”. ” Most of the trolling came from the notion that he was being controlled by his wife.
Just days prior to his death, on Valentine’s day, Feb 14, he innocently shared a video on Instagram of himself and his wife Bianca dancing o his latest song, Sondela. He is seen in the video calling Bianca to come closer and she eventually joins him on the video’s mainframe. Bianca appeared uninterested in her partner’s romantic gesture but still goes along with the flow. Trolls came out gun blazing stating that he seemed to be forcing her while she looked bored. Viky on his part defended himself stating that his wife is camera shy and tends to keep a low profile.

I wish ppl would leave this woman alone. I’ve only met her a few times, away from industry events luckily & from what I’ve seen, she doesn’t like the public eye & is very camera shy. Such a sweet person who loves her privacy https://t.co/09HNFTsr6p
