John, famed for his hit song Njata Yakwa, passed away following a tragic road accident along the Thika Super Highway. Before his death, the musician had made headlines when he took on a second wife, Carolyne, while still married to Sarafina, his first wife.

His polygamous marriage attracted significant public attention, and both women vowed to honour his memory and live in peace after his passing.

However, the two soon fell out. Carolyne alleged she was chased out of her matrimonial home.

Additionally, Carolyne claimed that Sarafina blocked her access to her late husband’s royalties, leading her to initiate a legal battle.

In previous media reports, Carolyne also revealed that John had not left a will, leaving the matter of his estate unresolved and further fuelling the conflict.

In the end, the legal dispute was settled, with Carolyne admitting that Sarafina emerged victorious.
