- When Rico Swavey - #BBNaija contestant and singer - died in a motor accident in October 2022, the nation was in shock. He was well loved.
His mother, Halima Hassan watched him die in her own arms in a Lekki hospital - asking the doctors to leave her with his corpse as she begged him to come back to her.
Months after, as friends and family watched her walk the streets aimlessly, unable to cope with the loss of her son, she had to check into a mental facility.
He was the second son of hers to die while she was alive.
In this exclusive interview, on the second anniversary of Rico’s passions, she joins me to talk about the premonition she had of his death, his last days and his last moments - and how behind the scenes, her son struggled to get his colleagues to support his music.
She also talks about how she survived the loss and found her way back to mental and emotional recovery.
Then, she shares with me Rico’s unfinished business - and the solemn promise she made to him as she cradled him in her arms for the last time.

This is sooo heartbreaking!! I'm making it my duty to pray for this woman! There's so much pain here. Lord please wrap your arms around this woman
If you haven't witnessed someone close to you die, you honestly don't know what God has done for you. My mental health has been a complete mess having see my brother go through severe pain and still die. Nothing makes sense after that.. May Rico's soul continue to rest in peace and may God keep his mum strong 🙏
Amen! It's truly a terrible experience. One never gets over it. I also lost my brother, and I ended up in the hospital. A very painful experience.
@@radzakinz So sorry for your loss. It's not an easy road at all. I wake up most times with anxiety, swollen face from crying and have refused to come to terms with his passing and unwilling to go back to doing the things I love. May God heal everyone going through grief.🙏
Exactly what I'm going through
I still remember him with every show. In his black and white outfit at the 2018 live band event. I lost an only one at birth and I am no longer myself. Please my sister we love you. Be strong❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I did CPR on my mum and She still passed in my hands,2020 was very very dark for me😢
May Rico’s soul continue to rest in peace. He’s gone but his sweet memories still lives. I pray for more strength upon u mama. You are indeed a strong woman. Love u ❤
Rico was a peaceful guy; had no bad blood in him. Keep resting Patrick.
I got so much chills watching this.. sending love and light to you mama❤
Had same experience when my mun passed. I was fearless. I wasn't even watching before crossing the road and I almost drove off a bridge even after she had been buried. I begged the mortuary attendants to let me sleep with her inside that she was lonely. The pain never goes away but it gets better ma. May you be comforted always
Same way i felt i felt my mum was so lonely... loosing a loved one is the hardest kai😢
So eloquent. I felt her pain.
I pray for continuous strength and comfort for you. Amen.
🫂 🤗
Keep Resting Friend! A Kind & Gentle Soul! Forever Missed!!! ❤❤❤
Rico was one person I wept for….for days I would cry after hearing the news and I didn’t even know him personally just from big brother….but it felt personal I don’t know why …and I saw this video the day it was posted but I kept skipping it like I needed to gather some courage to watch it and now I have…….ma’am I can’t imagine your pain and struggles but, I pray God keep all your family safe and give you the strength to keep going❤️🙏🏾
Keep resting Rico🕊️🕊️🕊️
This is so so painful. Remember it like yesterday.
A very strong woman.
As a mum, if you have a miscarriage alone you’ll know how deeply painful it is talk more of a grown man 😢 I can’t even imagine what she goes through daily. May God almighty heal her 🙏
Exactly I miscarried at 8months and I understand 100percent what this mom is going through 😢😢😢
Ad in eh for the past 2years now have not heal from my stillbirth not to talk of a grown up adult,it's only God that can heal her
Loosing my 10yr old Nephew earlier this year is still shocking till now...he was also rushed to Evercare and this story just reminded me of all that happened there. Especially the part of telling the Doctors to keep trying
The grief comes in waves from time to time and I don't know how to let it go. Even though I had lost My Mum and younger Sister in the past... This one is still more surreal and annoying.
May God keep Rico's Mum and family together with all who have lost someone close.
so sorry for your loss.
@@ladyofEssence360so so sorry. May God console and comfort you all. May His Soul rest in perfect peace.
Thank you @@ladyofEssence360
@ednaa4382 Amen and Thank you
I see a very emotionally strong woman. For her to have recounted this incident without breaking down is very unexpected, at same time applaudable.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Listening to her talk enriched me. The part where she said she now sees 'life and faith differently' hit me. Truly, we're shaped by our experience.
Such a beautifully mother of a lovely son. God will keep comforting her😢
What a woman! May God continue to strengthen her and May Rico’s soul Rest In Peace.
This is heart wrenching. No parent deserve this🥹💔
As a mom that lost her son her grieving process was difficult though but I'm thankful to God for keeping her in his ways and for consoling her because her son's memories still lives in her. she is a strong woman
As someone who has lost two children, the second in a traumatic way. I can understand and sympathise with you ma. Seven years on, i am unable to talk freely about my loss, which i pray to one day, to help and encourage someone that life can go on even if its not how we hoped it will. May God continue to comfort and strengthen you ma. You will never bury another child in Jesus name Amen.
Amen
may the good God console you in all
Great Interview, Chude! It can be difficult, interviewing a grieving mother, but you handled it very well and professionally. And I condole this lady for the passing of her son.
When he asked if its her destiny to see her kids slip off in front of him 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 Jesus what a pain eyyy God ohhh😢
I loved Rico soo much because he was soo full of life. I lost a 22year old son to death and I was very angry with life and everyone. It's the worst thing ever
So So Sorry for your loss , may GOD continue comforting you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I couldn't finish the interview, continue being strong mama, rest well Rico
This is a very sad one. My heart goes out to her and the entire family. May her strength not fail her. In the midst of the storm may she experience unexplainable peace and may joy be restored to her.
Amen
Amen 🙏
God is her strength. As to all of us by His grace. God bless her and family.
Amen 🙏
Rico was a good and lovable person and hearing his Mum speak about his death is so heartbreaking. I felt her pain throughout the interview and can't imagine what she has gone through. May his gentle soul continue to rest in peace and May God comfort his eloquent Mum as she continues his legacy through his music
I still miss him till today...RIP Rico!
She's such a strong woman. I pray God keeps her and her entire family safe.
Chude, you have the best heart-to-heart interviews. Thank you and the team for always delivering.
Wow his last message was I gotta go, bye? Damn! And the dream she had omo crazy.
We miss him dearly!

My dad’s passing gave me a very different view of life and faith. I will never see things the way I used to and will never feel hurt the way I do. I’ll go and find the TD Jakes’ sermon she talked about. I pray God keeps strengthening her, and my mum.
Amen 🙏
May God continue to strengthen and comfort you 🥺🕊️🕊️

Sorry for your loss. May the Lord strengthen and comfort you and yours. No parent has to bury a child.😭 May he rest in peace!🙌🙌🙏🙏
Watching Rico's mother share her story, my heart is overwhelmed with emotion. There is no greater pain than the loss of a child. We hear about accidents, tragedies, and loss, but to witness the raw courage of a mother who sat by her son’s bedside, day and night, hoping for a miracle, is deeply humbling.
Her love for her son never wavered. Through the heartache and the sleepless nights, she stayed. She stayed because, as a mother, she held onto hope, even in the darkest of times. She stayed because her bond with him was unbreakable, forged in years of laughter, joy, and unconditional love. And when the unthinkable happened-when her son took his last breath-she was there, holding his hand, whispering words of love and peace, ensuring that he knew he was not alone.
It’s impossible to fully grasp the depth of her pain, but I can see her strength. The strength of a mother who, despite her unimaginable loss, finds the courage to speak about her son. Her tears are not just of sorrow, but also of pride-pride in the boy who lived, who loved, and who made her life more beautiful.
Rico's mother’s story reminds us all of the preciousness of life. It teaches us about the depth of a parent’s love and the unimaginable endurance it takes to say goodbye to someone who means the world. In this moment, I honor her strength, her unwavering love, and the beautiful life of her son, who will forever be remembered. 💔
I shouted No No too when I heard the news. It's really sad we don't have power over life.
Wow such a strong woman amazing mother May his soul continues to rest in peace
This life is indeed spiritual 😢
Ohhhh lord May God continue to strengthen you mummy
I am so so sorry ma. I can’t even begin to imagine what you have gone through 😢.. please accept a hug from me and know that Rico was very much loved and I believe he’s in a far better and happier place now. ❤❤❤
watching someone l love die was just one of the most painful experience of my life.To this day l dont even know how l got through it.Only God there were times l would just sit and not say a word to God.I had no words.This woman is so strong ❤
Mr chude thank you for helping us.
Is so painful, I am crying 😭 it remind me of my elder brother that pass on few months ago. My mom is still trying to let go😭
So touching, very sorry ma, may his gentle soul rest in peace
May GOD continue to comfort her ,its not easy but GOD will see her through 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Chai, everybody loves Rico, fine boy at that n a smooth talker..
GOD will continue to strengthen you ma
I can relate to this very well, no parent deserve to loose a child, it's a pain that will hardly go away. May God heal your heart
Rest well RICO😢. He was just too cute to die. His death was a very sad one. May God comfort you Mama❤
I can feel your pain mama. I’m glad you are finding peace. Rico’s death took me by surprise, my mom and I cried helplessly in the room the day it was announced. I never met him but it’s one thing I can’t forget and struggle to accept. There’s this song “show me a chicker let me see ft mayorkun” I think it was released around the time of his passing, whenever I hear that song I immediately get filled with sadness that I can’t explain. Some pipo would say he is not even your brother 🤦🏽♀️ but it’s still paining me till date. I feel her pain 😢 but God knows best mama ❤❤
😢😢Ahhhhh may God Almighty strengthen you ma.
😢😢this pain Ahhh!
So painful Rico was so peaceful person may his soul rip
His death was very painful. I don't know him personally but also prayed that he came back to life. May his son rest in Peace'.
Sending love your way mama, ❤
Keep Resting in Peace Rico . You were a good soul
How did she not cry sharing this? Omg😢😢
You can't see the tears but they are there.
But she was crying, she was wiping tears.
My condolences Mama.. it's not easy to lose a child
I could feel her pain. May the lord comfort you ma.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 this is really hurtful. I remember my younger sister died in the arms of my elder sister and I. That scene has never left me even though it's been more than 10yrs I still feel the pain and I CRY
Sending you love and light sweet mummy ❤️❤️❤️
After watching this I just looked at my son sleeping and my heart broke down. I can’t imagine loosing him. May God heal all mothers who have had to watch their child die. ❤
This made me sob….reminds me of when Dad passed away…I was 8 & I prayed to God to bring him back just like Jesus Christ resurrected from the dead…& I kept my hope really up until he was buried…😭😭😭
May God console and strengthen you
God will continue to console you ma.
May God continue to strengthen you Mama and May Patrick continue to rest in the Lord. Our mindset about faith and Miracles change at the death of loved ones. Mine did when I lost my mother.
God heal mama and give her strength and comfort her no parent should ever lose their child that pain is pure torture
