[@babajo24]

The mum is a great narrator. May she live long

[@vinftcentochwore9805]

I studied at Ambira high School 1991-1994, this story reasonates well with my memories

[@paulaudi4812]

Rip Paul Otieno Imbaya my friend

[@fatumamaro8726]

I just like the woman and how she narrated the whole process Old is gold RIP King Kong

[@fredrickochieng5625]

The mother speaking is a testimony that people are only seeing your worth when you are alive. Politicians used his songs to pull crowd but when he died none was seen at his burial. May God see you through mother

[@lucykangai9422]

Where are his babies? Probably a prince will be found among his children who will continue his legacy. That was God sent king

[@desertmambaproductions5376]

Very true. His son is still in school.

[@MichaelOcholla]

My good friend king Kong....I vividly remember you.

[@humphreynyapuodi8585]

Dude, you’re the best interviewer ever, I thought that King Kong was a Ugandan,

[@desertmambaproductions5376]

Thank you very much. We're glad you enjoyed the interview and got to learn a few things.

[@juliusmoga4340]

Mother's love...is beyond our knowledge

[@jameskitoto3315]

I'm shocked, I never knew Mighty King Kong my favorite artist was a Kenyan, let alone a Luo.

[@Francismwzx]

Wow that story ....is top class

[@MunGerald-o9t]

I only just discovered today that Mighty King Kong was a Kenyan artist. During my childhood in the early 2000s, I used to enjoy his music, but I often confused him with South Africa's Dr. Victor and Jamaica's Fab 5.

[@anj1ch1]

Oh the mother's love... There's nothing like that in the whole world. Surely she should get some royalties.

[@emeldaberyl1301]

They are our neighbors back in the village. I remember my dad calling me to break the news about his death. May he continue resting in peace.

Even my grandmother is from Kager. Though I'm in Gem, Yala (Nyamninia). Imbaya sounds a name from Western Kenya.

[@bettykeya4990]

He was named after his maternal grandfather who was a luhya

[@sikukuusikukuu5738]

IMBAYA IS A family name from Ambira High School surrounding where the late King Kong was born. Possibly Luhya's and Luo's share the same name.

[@oudamaxwellotieno6936]

[@mcodhiambocomedygeneralstu7373]
