How did Kioi Junior die?

According to Muigai Gathumbi, Kioi was laid to rest in Kambiti in Murang'a county, on Thursday, May 9.

A congregation of relatives and friends assembled at his residence to honour the late singer.

Kioi passed away on April 29 at Kenyatta University Referral Hospital, where he was undergoing treatment.

Despite his upbringing in a religious environment, Kioi publicly identified as an atheist in 2020.

He questioned the existence of God and Satan, attributing his atheism to critical thinking and scepticism.

Despite his beliefs, he continued to perform songs about God for entertainment.

“I live as if there is no God, and I don’t think people should lie to themselves. All I need is proof that either God or Satan exists. Faith is ignorance," he previously said in an interview with a Kikuyu radio station.
