Did KK Mwenyewe foreshadow his death in a skit?
A past video of KK resurfaced online following his death, and it is leaving many concerned.
In the clip, KK is seen dancing outside State House, wearing black trousers and a white shirt, as a song by Ugandan artist Dexter Rapper plays in the background.
Just as the energy peaks, gunshot sounds cut through the music, and the scene shifts to an image of Jesus, with KK appearing confused, as if realising he is no longer alive.
The skit, though humorous, now feels eerily prophetic to some fans, with many asking if he unknowingly hinted at his own passing.
