The fitness expert took to his Insta story Monday to address the issue as he explained that the last respect given to the dead can’t be given to the living because it’s not sustainable.

He shared that love, respect and honour given to the dead can only be given to the dead because it is one-off thing.

He wrote: “The love, attention and respect accorded to the dead can only be accorded to the dead because it is a one-off, it’s called “last respect.

“You can’t give such to the living cos it’s not sustainable.

“Don’t mistakes this reality for some selfish emotional bais.”
