Gospel rapper Juliani was the only artiste who was present in Naivasha when Safaricom CEO Bob Collymore walked down the aisle in 2016.

Collymore died on Monday after a long battle with cancer. He was then cremated at Kariokor yesterday.

His life has been celebrated by the who is who in the country, and his favourite artiste has now spoken out.

"He was a hundred per cent human and a gentle giant," Juliani told Word Is yesterday.

Bob also loved his family and he was a great family man. He wedded his long-time girlfriend Wambui Kamiru in a colourful ceremony in 2016, in a low key-wedding in Naivasha that was attended by close friends and family.

According to Uhuru Kenyatta’s photographer, Michael Khateli, who was also the official photographer at Bob's wedding, it was a happy feeling all over and generally, people were happy for him. All the guests congratulated him and his bride.

"At first, I felt very intimidated, but he made you feel like his equal, he would ask about my photography, about the camera I use, how business is, why I started doing photography, as he also did photography as a hobby," he said.

Juliani was among those who attended his cremation ceremony in Kariokor.
