'Kishash' hitmaker Jeremy Maina alias Lil Maina sent a special tribute to his grandfather last night. The singer made his first public appearance since he lost his grandfather two weeks ago.
Maina was performing at the Shoke Shoke festival that took place on Saturday. After his performance, Maina celebrated his mentor. He said:
"Long live babu. Babu used to work over there and I thank you all for your support," he said before he left the stage.
The talented musician lost his grandfather who made him famous back in February. Maina made his name after posting a video while jamming to a Jamaican song in front of his grandparent who was seemingly unbothered.
Through his Instagram page, Maina has paid tribute to his grandfather saying things will never be the same without him.
He described him as the best grandfather thanking him for raising him.
Maina was raised in Mombasa but moved to Nairobi in order to live with his grandparents which ultimately birthed his comic stunts.
"I don't know what to say, babu, I will always have you in my heart. It is not the same without you, it will never be. The best grandfather to me and to everyone.
I will miss you so much. Thank you for making me who I am today. Thank you for the support, and thank you for raising me. I love you, babu. Till we meet again. I never wanted to post anything about this, but I thought it would be good for you guys to know," he emotionally penned.
