The family of Rapper Eric Onguru alias Kunguru is appealing for help to clear pending hospital bills and give their son a proper sendoff.

In a public appeal seen by this writer, Kunguru’s family divulged that their kin left behind a huge hospital bill when he passed away on Sunday.

“The family of the late Eric Kunguru ala Kunguru is appealing for your support to defray hospital bills and accord him a decent send-off,” read part of the appeal.

The fundraiser will be happening on March Saturday, March 25th, 2023 at the Don Bosco Catholic Church, Upper Hill room 008 from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm.

Well-wishers have also been asked to forward their contributions to Paybill Number 8373428.

Kunguru will be laid to rest in Alego, Siaya County on April 1st, 2023.

The star passed away on Sunday, March 19, 2023, at 2:00 pm. He had been admitted to a Nairobi Hospital for the past few weeks.

His former manager told Mpasho that the star had been in and out of Hospital since 2017.

He attributed his prolonged illness to an accident he suffered back in 2009/10 that affected his spinal cord.

The musician is mostly remembered for his club-banging tunes “I Will Never Let you Go” and “Baby Don’t Go”, featuring Mr. Lenny.

Kunguru was formerly baptised as a ‘ladies’ man’, which could widely be attributed to his lyrics and style of music.

He started rapping at a tender age, although his debut in mainstream showbiz was in 2006 when he released African Woman featuring Mr Lenny.

He was a married man and he also worked in the Banking industry apart from his musical career.

He was among the few talents that were retained by Ogopa Deejays when they terminated the contracts of most of their signees back then.
