What did KK Mwenyewe say about Diogo Jota?
On Thursday, July 3, KK paid a heartfelt tribute to Jota, who died in a vehicle crash alongside his brother Andre. Reports indicate the accident occurred when a rear tyre of the Lamborghini they were in burst during an overtaking manoeuvre.
Their vehicle lost control, veered off the road, and burst into flames upon impact. Authorities said the high speed, combined with the tyre failure, likely caused the deadly crash.
KK shared a photo of Jota with his index fingers in the air, seemingly celebrating a goal. He sent his condolences, writing:
“Liverpool’s striker Diogo Jota and his brother died in a car accident in northern Spain. May they rest in peace.”
Kenyans on social media reacted to the post, noting that life is fickle.

In other news, a video recorded just days before KK Mwenyewe's death resurfaced, showing the comedian at his humorous best.
Shared on July 4, it was his final social media post before going silent.
In the skit, KK played a job seeker proudly listing his academic achievements, saying he scored a B+ in KCSE and earned first-class honours at university.
However, when told a drug test was required, he hilariously declined the job, joking that he might fail. The clip now holds emotional weight for fans, who are revisiting it as a bittersweet reminder of the laughter he brought to many.
