Riky Rick and his girlfriend, Bianca Naidoo, have come a long way.

They've stuck with each other through the good and the bad, and are still going strong. 

Back when the rapper wasn't the big star that he is today, she was one of the people that he could rely on for support.

The musician, who's clearly happy to be with Bianca, has taken to Instagram to share how greatful he is to have her.

He recognises the fact that she has played a huge part in his success. 

 

Behind every man is a strong woman... This is the mother of my baby. Without her none of this would've happened... She held me down when I was broke. Gave me R100 so I could go to studio to record my album. Never made me feel bad when I couldn't pay for dinner or take her out for a movie... For that I will always do anything to give her everything she needs. This is my ride or die. I Love You.
