"POLE SANA MDOGO WANGU @rayvanny KWA KUONDOKEWA NA KAKA YAKO…! MUNGU AKUPE NGUVU KWENYE KIPINDI HICHI KIGUMU
My deepest condolences my young one Rayvanny, for the loss of your dear brother! May God give you strength during this difficult time." Baba Levo's post read.
The "Bounce" hitmaker has only one known brother who goes by the name Shadrack.
Vanny Boy introduced him to the world through his social media accounts a while back while congratulating him on his graduation from Ardhi University in Tanzania.
Shadrack has always maintained a low profile, despite being related to one of Tanzania's biggest artists which explains why few people are aware of his existence.
Following the news, fans took to the comment section to condole with the bongo artist.
Davido - Chris Brown is one of my favourite artists to work with
