Speaking to LEADERSHIP Flavour on this, the American musician, dancer and performer said, “My life will never be the same, but I have learned to live with a broken heart. Our life together and the memories and music and happiness that we were blessed to share all over the world, gives me joy and fuels my tank to keep his legacy alive, and my broken heart pumping. Love you, Aremu mi. You will always be celebrated. Love never dies. Your legend is forever,” said Aduke. 

In her goodwill message to the family, Aduke and Orlando’s friend, Leila Steinberg complimented the deceased whom she said prompted her path as an activist. “He changed the world with his art, and he changed us all.”
