‘But our Fijian loving Warrior fought his last battle yesterday, 17th September 2020,’ she said.
‘My adored “Deddy” is now among the angels in heaven. Although he has left this earth it does not mean he is gone, because those we love never really leave us— they may no longer pass our eyes, but they will never leave our hearts,’ she added.
Paulini went on to say: ‘I already miss him, his smile attitude and wisdom and will every day.’

‘I went through a very traumatic breakup from a tumultuous relationship,’ she wrote in a letter to the court, obtained by The Daily Telegraph in January 2018.
‘I am embarrassed to say this was not the first relationship I had been in involving domestic violence and low self-esteem.
‘In addition to the breakdown of my relationship, my failed album release had cost me my savings and the relationship with the record label.’
But Paulini appears to have since gotten her life back on track, appearing as the lead in The Bodyguard musical, and being revealed as the Spider on The Masked Singer in 2019.
