DJ Warras once joked about his own death weeks before tragedy struck in Johannesburg

DJ Warras, born Warrick Stock, had openly engaged in conversations about death on social media just weeks before he was fatally shot in Johannesburg on December 16, 2025, a revelation that has left many South Africans deeply unsettled.

The popular radio personality, TV presenter and podcaster, who had recently celebrated his 40th birthday, became the centre of online discussion after old posts from November resurfaced following his death.

In one chilling exchange on X, a social media user told him, “We are gonna miss you, dawg, RIP in advance.”

DJ Warras responded, “It’s been real fam. Thanks for everything. I hope you have been entertained.”

The post gained renewed attention on the day of his killing after it was reshared by an X user with the caption, “The power of the tongue,” sparking intense debate about words, fate and premonition.

In the days leading up to his death, DJ Warras had also spoken candidly about crime and personal safety in Johannesburg.

On Reconciliation Day, he shared thoughts related to thieves and guns, while other posts suggested how alert and guarded he remained while moving around the city.

Following confirmation of his death, social media was flooded with tributes and emotional reactions from fans and fellow South Africans who admired his bold personality and unfiltered voice.

Many were struck by how his past words now carried an eerie weight.

Reacting to the resurfaced posts, one user wrote, “This thread… yoh! Words are powerful. We must rebuke bad things. RIP DJ Warras.”

Another added, “The tongue is a weapon. Hateful words can’t kill directly, but they can summon chaos that does.”
