Rapper Earl “Early B” Swartz has honoured the late Junior King with a heartfelt tribute song, remembering the TikTok star as a tireless worker who gave everything to his craft.
The track, titled Jinne Bruinman, is dedicated to Junior King, born Dugulth Ferreira, who tragically lost his life in a car accident on the N1 near Verkeerdevlei in the Free State in December.
He was just 29 years old. News of his death sent shockwaves across social media, where he was celebrated as a rapper, dancer and vibrant creative voice.
Since his passing, messages of love and remembrance have continued to flood timelines, with those closest to him sharing memories that reflect both his talent and his character.
Among them is his girlfriend, dancer Kayla Peters, who has been open about the pain of navigating life without him.
Kayla recently launched a series titled Healing Out Loud, where she documents her journey through grief and emotional recovery.
Speaking candidly about the impact of Junior King’s death, she shared, “Insomnia has been crazy over the past three weeks. Struggling to fall asleep, because waking up with a broken heart every morning is painful and exhausting.”
She said Early B’s tribute song offered a rare moment of calm amid the heartbreak.
“This [song] really made me feel so grounded and sane for a moment,” she wrote.
Reflecting on the days ahead, Kayla added, “Each day is different, but we keep handling ourselves with grace. It won’t get better, but it will get easier. Sending you hugs and love up there, Nana. Rest easy, Junior King.”
