THE family of the late Kenyan former radio and TV host, rapper and actor Simon Njoroge aka Shrekeezy, is appealing to well-wishers to help bring home the body of the departed artiste for the final send off.
It was claimed that Shrekeezy died after drowning in the Indian Ocean in the Mbudya Island, off the Dar es Salaam coast in Tanzania, on Saturday while swimming. The body of the 27-year-old rapper was found three days later on Tuesday after an extensive search.
“The problem is, the family is not in a position to fly the body back to Kenya from Tanzania due to the cost implications. Your contributions towards helping this gentleman’s family bring his body back home will be highly appreciated,” read a statement from the Kenyan celebrity charity organistaion Entertainment With Fun 4 Charity.
Shrekeezy is well known for his chart-topping 2014 single, Down For My City, where he featured various African artistes including STL, US-based Kenyan rapper Kanja, Nigeria’s Afro-pop artiste Wondaboy, Ghanaian actress Juliet Ibrahim and UK-based Sierra Leone singer and music producer Silvastone.
