The Kenyan music scene has been hit with a wave of emotion after fast-rising rapper Mad G confirmed the passing of his father.

The rapper, known for his bold persona and signature tagline #TheBaddest, shared the heartbreaking news on social media with a touching photo alongside his late father. His message was simple but heavy: “Until we meet again… RIP Dad #TheBaddest.”

The post drew thousands of reactions, with fans, fellow musicians, and industry players sending in their condolences. It’s a reminder that behind the glitz of music and fame, artists are human too—carrying personal battles that the public rarely sees.

Just hours before breaking the sad news online, Mad G had delivered an electrifying appearance on TV47’s Beat Plug, leaving fans buzzing with excitement.

The contrast between his on-stage energy and the heartbreaking revelation that followed has left many fans stunned.

A close friend of Patelo, the self-proclaimed “King of Eastlands,” Mad G has always proudly represented his roots. The two are seen as a powerful duo in Nairobi’s urban music circles, consistently pushing Eastlands talent to the national stage.

Now, with the loss of his father, fans are curious to see how this personal tragedy shapes Mad G’s music. Many believe it could inspire a more introspective, emotional side to his artistry.

For now, players in the music industry and fans have stood with him, offering solidarity during this difficult time. As one fan commented, “We celebrate you as #TheBaddest, but today we mourn with you as family.”

One thing remains certain: Mad G’s journey has just begun, and if history has taught us anything, it’s that pain often gives birth to some of the most powerful art.
