Buzzi Lee Gets Candid About Her Emotions As Cotton Fest Comes To An End. Buzzi Lee Speaks On Cotton Fest’s Emotional Farewell And Riky Rick’s Enduring Impact. Pretoria rapper Buzzi Lee has shared a heartfelt reflection on the announcement that Cotton Fest has come to an end, describing the moment as deeply emotional for South African hip hop and for everyone who grew up with the festival as part of their culture.
Known for her sharp lyricism and collaborations with some of the game’s respected names, Buzzi Lee spoke with honesty about what the festival has meant to her and the wider creative community. “When I saw that announcement, I felt like we lost Riky all over again,” she told Slikour On Life.
“That was my initial feeling. But when I read the statement, I realised there was nothing we could really do about it.” Buzzi Lee acknowledged the efforts of everyone involved in keeping Cotton Fest alive after the passing of its founder, Riky Rick, adding that the team did their best to honour his vision by continuing to give fans years of unforgettable experiences.
She described the festival as something that became part of people’s lives, a space where music, fashion and youth culture met freely. While accepting that endings are sometimes part of life’s natural cycle, Buzzi Lee admitted she had hoped for one final edition to close the chapter properly. In her words, a last celebration would have allowed the culture to say goodbye “with a bang,” knowing clearly that this was the final moment. Still, her tone remained appreciative rather than bitter, choosing gratitude over complaint.
She ended by saluting everyone who contributed to Cotton Fest over the years and paying respect to Riky Rick, whose influence continues to shape South African hip hop long after his passing. For artists like Buzzi Lee and countless fans, Cotton Fest will remain more than just a festival. It stands as a symbol of freedom, creativity, and the enduring spirit Riky Rick poured into the culture.
