Kenyan rapper Lil Maina says he is yet to fully recover from the death of his grandfather. The two were loved by many thanks to their TikTok videos.
Maina was raised in Mombasa but moved to Nairobi in order to live with his grandparents which ultimately birthed his comic stunts.
In an interview on Tuko Extra, he shared that he is still dealing with his grandfather's death
"I am still coping with his death. I could not do skits after his death, I felt like something was missing. As the days go by am learning new things and healing."
Maina says despite shooting content in 2018, he only rose to fame in 2020.
"In 2018 I started doing skits and parodies. In 2020 people were at home because of COVID-19. I used to do videos with my grandparents just for fun and people started asking for more. I was raised by my grandparents because my parents were very young."
