The young comedian, known for his spot-on impersonations of former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua, tragically passed away following recurring stomach complications, particularly severe acidity.
He took his last breath in the arms of his best friend and fellow content creator, Andrew Nyaga, popularly known as Kafengo.

Taking the microphone, he delivered a short but deeply emotional tribute.
“Mimi sina maneno mingi ya kuongea, siku ya kuongea ikifika nitaongea. Tumetoana mbali sana, he was my best friend and I was his. For me, it is very painful. We started doing content at the same time and we also come from around the same area. Sina maneno mengi ya kusema because today we celebrate him. Go well, brother. We shall meet again.You will forever be remembered,” he said, his voice trembling with emotion.
Mourners watched in silence as the visibly heartbroken Kafengo struggled to hold back tears, his words painting a picture of brotherhood, shared dreams, and a friendship cut short too soon.
