DADDY OWEN, DJ SADIC AND PASTOR T MOURN MUSICIAN NGASHVILLE

It is a sad and gloomy time for the gospel industry in Kenya after the passing of gospel musician Anthony Ng’ang’a aka Ngashville. The singer is said to have fallen ill and rushed to hospital where he succumbed. He was famous for his hit songs Kaza Mwendo and Fanana Naye among others.

Gospel musicians took to social media to mourn the rapper. Daddy Owen termed him a fighter, “Bro manze I have seen u happy, sad, struggling and making it and all through life! U r a fighter! Jana I saw u fight in the hospital bed, I have seen it all with u Ngash but it was time, time to be with the Lord.”

Adding that he never thought they were not going to return home without him, “When we entered hosi juzi I thought ni madawa tu utapewa then u go home but I guess the home I thought was totally different. U r now home with the lord. R.I.P Ngash, R.I.P Ngashville mapoz! R.I.P Mukwaru! RIP Fabulous!”

DJ Sadic said it was heartbreaking,” Escorting you to the cold room was tough my bro. Seeing your lifeless body being taken away was heartbreaking. Sad night indeed. Shine on your way King Ngash.”

While popular pastor and musician Pastor T recounted their days as neighbours and how he helped him when he was starting his music career, “Rest well my brother Ngash the Artist. When I landed in Nairobi from Narok you embraced me and prayed for me as a new hip hop gospel artist. You embraced me with love and never cared whether I was an upcoming artist. We lived in ruaka as neighbours and indeed the ministry has lost a great light,” wrote Pastor T.
