6 Kenyan creatives who died under mysterious circumstances in 2020!

The Kenyan entertainment scene has been in mourning since the year started after 2019 wrapped up with one of Kenya’s brilliant, young creative, Ayeiya losing his life in a tragic road accident.

Just as we thought 2020 was going to be any kind, I’ll be honest, if anything it has been severely brutal, unwelcoming of the fact that we are still healing from the wounds of those we had already lost.

I start in order since we ushered in the new year.

1. Razz Msupa

Razz was a popular Kenyan rapper having worked with legendary artists like King Kaka before she bid us goodbye on February 4.

The lass was apparently admitted in hospital following a short illness before breathing her last. Razz was pretty close to King Kaka and news of her passing on only left him dumbfounded.

The female rap act was among those featured in King Kaka’s 2013 smash hit “Ligi Soo Remix”. May she indeed rest in peace!

A lot of reports surrounded his death but for now, we can only allow his soul to rest in eternal peace.

3. Ken Walibora

Renowned author and respected journalist Prof Ken Walibora’s death on April 10, left Kenyans with unanswered questions, speculations rife that he was murdered into his grave.

It was reported he got knocked down by a speeding Double M bus while hurriedly crossing the road in what seemed like a chase by street boys, that left the question “why?” unanswered.

Only for autopsy results to later show that the wound on his right hand was caused by a sharp object and not by a blunt object as earlier alleged. Plus, what was more puzzling was what the 56-year old author was doing in Muthurwa on a chilly Saturday morning.

Either way, may he rest peacefully!

4. Kasee

Known for his budding antics on Churchill Show, we lost Kasee born Joseph Musyoki Kivindu on Sunday, June 28 with claims he had been battling depression before it drove him to his death.

Safiri salama Kasee!

Death reports

I am not dead. I was rushed her by my family when my condition worsened, but I am currently being transfused with blood. It has never been clear what I am suffering from but the condition has worsened in recent days.

It has been three years since Maureen´s health condition saw her in and out of hospital several times as doctors reveal they are not able to tell what is ailing her.

Lady Maureen and 15 other Kenyan musicians plead for help after being thrown in a Tanzanian prison

Tanzania has made it a habit of frustrating Kenyans who travel to their country. 16 Kenyans musicians have now been thrown in prison because of travel documents.

Kenya remains the most egalitarian society in East Africa even though some of our neighbors are clearly taking advantage of our hospitality.

East African Community was formed to enable free movement of persons and goods but Tanzania is treating Kenyans like Mexicans trying to enter America.

Every time you hear Tanzanian authorities confiscating goods from Kenya and even burning them, frustrating Kenyan businessmen in their country has become a norm.

Lady Maureen’s predicament

Popular Kenyan musician Lady Maureen is appealing for financial help to bail her out of a Tanzanian jail. Maureen together with 15 other musicians were thrown in prison for lacking proper travel documents.

Tanzanian court sentenced the Kenyan musicians to 6 months in prison with bail set at Kes 35,000 each. The 16 musicians are being held at Bukungu Prison Mwanza.
