Lil Maina, the creator of the hit song “Kishash,” is in mourning.
The famous grandpa of the gifted musician has passed away.
After sharing a video of himself rocking out to a Jamaican song in front of his grandparent, who seemed unconcerned, Maina became well-known.
Maina has paid respect to his grandfather on his Instagram page and stated that life will not be the same without him.
He thanked him for raising him and praised him as the best grandfather.
Maina was born and reared in Mombasa, but he later went to Nairobi to live with his grandparents, giving rise to his comedic pranks.
“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
In a past interview, Maina credited his talent to his maternal family.
He noted that he started posting in 2018 but didn’t imagine that the videos would gain wide traction across the country as well as internationally.
His social media pages capture several videos in which Maina pulls pranks on his grandparents and hilariously goofs off.
In his song “Kishash,” Maina raps about intimacy in the backseat of Ubers, teenage sadness, and smoking marijuana. This song helped propel Maina to fame.
