Popular Rapper Wangechi whose feature in the “Ligi soo remix”, and recent single “Attention shopper” left many impressed by her rapping skills was involved in a gruesome accident on Saturday night alongside two of her close friends Tiona and Tewa.

The friends who were on their way to an undisclosed location are believed to have suffered a tire burst when the accident happened. The result was so severe that the car they were in was left a mangled wreck as they were rushed to Nairobi Hospital for care and treatment.

In regards to Wangechi and Tewa, their producer Kevin Provoke made it clear on his social media pages that Wangechi was out of ICU and Tewa was still recuperating.

@kevinprovoke,  Wangechi better now...talked to her #pray4wangechi he said.

Sadly, some social media users seem to have received some random piece of misguided information claiming that Wangechi had passed. This message caught wind and spread fast but some credible sources, including Rabbit Kaka Sungura a fellow rapper came out to strongly deny the rumors saying.

@RabbitTheKing  Kindly STOP spreading wrong news. Wangechi is still in hospital and not dead as most are saying. Kindly retweet for clarity & Pray for her.

For now, what fans, friends and family can do is Pray for Tewa and Wangechi both of who are recuperating.

Celebrities have come urging their fans to pray for the young ladies and we can only hope for their quick recovery.
