South African DJ Karabo Success Mokgara, better known as DJ Karri, recently opened up about the profound heartbreak he felt following the passing of gospel music legend Solly Moholo. In a heartfelt tribute, DJ Karri shared their connection and the unfulfilled dreams they had together.
In an interview with TshishaLIVE, DJ Karri revealed how he first met Solly and how their relationship evolved over time. He reminisced about the time when Solly Moholo became aware of his rise to fame. “He didn’t know I was DJ Karri at first. When I started gaining attention with my mixes and began DJing internationally, he noticed me late last year,” Karri explained.
DJ Karri further detailed a touching encounter between the two, which cemented their bond. Solly had seen a video of a homeless man singing with an incredible voice. “Solly called me and asked if I could meet the man. He was determined to take him to the studio to record songs, and we were excited about the opportunity,” Karri said. However, tragedy struck before those plans could come to fruition.
Reflecting on the loss, DJ Karri expressed deep sorrow. “It broke my heart because we had big plans together. We both come from the same township, and we were passionate about putting our community on the map. His passing is a huge blow, but I’m committed to continuing the legacy we were building.”https://www.instagram.com/p/DA5gDADC7qs/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
Despite the heartbreak, DJ Karri is determined to ensure that Solly’s legacy endures. “I’ll keep the legacy going with his team and his children. We are committed to continuing the plans we had,” he added.
Solly Moholo’s impact on the gospel music industry and his dedication to helping others were well-known, making his loss even more profound for those who knew and admired him. His new album is set to be released before his funeral, a fitting tribute to a man who touched so many lives with his music.
DJ Karri’s emotional tribute highlights the deep respect and admiration he held for Solly Moholo, and his determination to carry on the work they began together serves as a testament to their shared vision.
