British Artist Talay Riley Dead at 35 After Stabbing Incident

Following Orabiyi’s tragic death, his brother Michael Orabiyi—a songwriter and producer known as Scribz Riley—recalled what would become their last conversation.

“My heart is shattered! This doesn’t feel real. It feels like a bad dream,” he captioned a June 7 post. “Just before he went to sleep we spoke about the future, staying positive and about everything we still had left to do. I never imagined that would be our last conversation.”

His brother, who included photos of Orabiyi from over the years in his post, continued, “He had one of the purest hearts I’ve ever known. He loved deeply, gave freely, and touched countless people through his talent, kindness, and spirit. The outpouring of love already shows how many lives he impacted.”
