Fast-rising Kenyan musician Jeremy Maina aka Lil Maina is mourning the sudden demise of his grandfather.

The Kishash hitmaker shared the sad news via his socials describing how hard it is to come to terms with the sad truth that his granddad is no more.

Maina eulogized his grandfather as the best grandparent anyone could ask for.

However, the star did not disclose the cause of his grandfather's death.

“Idk 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,” Lil Maina shared.

Maina was raised in Mombasa but moved to Nairobi to live with his grandparents which ultimately birthed his comic stunts.

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.

Maina also became famous after his song 'Kishash' where he raps about intimacy in the back of Ubers, teenage depression, and smoking weed.
