Is there a death bug in the gutter press blogs that is infecting the hungry writers to keep killing people online for traffic? The latest victim of internet murder is Tanzanian artist Lucas Mkenda popularly known as Mr. Nice.
Yesterday the news that the baiskeli hit maker had succumbed to his long illness hit the webs going viral with his fans utterly sad at his supposed demise. They flooded the social media to celebrate the legend and also send their condolences expressing their loss and heart break.
Mr.Nice had been sick for close to two years to a point of being bed ridden but he has been in a slow recovery journey. He had toured Kenya a few months ago when he signed a mega deal with Soko Bay International Ltd as he attempts to resuscitate his dying musical career.
The Kidali po superstar took to his facebook page to allay the death rumours saying he was very fine and alive. He said
“Sometimes to be silent is a very big answer for fool peoples….Na bado mtaniombea sana mabaya lakini haitakuwa…kituo kikubwa cha habari kama east african vibes mnathubutu kuaminisha watu mambo ya uongo na ya kutengeneza bila hata kujali kuwa mnaniumiza vipi kwa upande wangu.
Mungu awarejeshee kadri ya mstahilivyo kwake.hii si mara ya kwanza kunizulia kifo na mambo mabaya. Sijui nimewahi kuwakosea nini au ni kwa vile sinaga tabia za unyenyekeaji wa kinafki Muacheni aliyeniumba aniamulie hatma ya maisha yangu please 13/12/2016”.
Fame should not come before humanity. These irresponsible rumour mongers who keep killing celebrities just to stir the masses should be brought to book.
Mukami Kanyi.
