Overlaying the video, Bankyroy wrote: “Today we name you ROYAAN. I pray may God forgive my woman’s shortcomings. Amen.”
“I pray help come from above to stand as dad and mum for you ROYAAN,” he added in the caption.
The video, which has already garnered more than 500,000 views, has drawn an outpouring of condolences from supporters and fans who have been praying for his family.
Bankyroy and his late partner got engaged in March. She occasionally featured in his TikTok videos, where they shared intimate moments from their family life.
Her passing comes two years after the 26-year-old content creator survived an accident that led to the amputation of both his hands.
The incident drew public attention and sympathy for Bankyroy in 2023.
He has since built a large following online, documenting his recovery journey and inspiring fans with his resilience.
