• Kenyans were shaken after learning of the death of Stoopid Boy, a young Kenyan musician who was found dead in his house 
  • The young man was very popuar and many had christened him as the deputy of sheng in the music industry 
  • In his last video, he shared the manner in which he was gong to die and left a very harsh message for his ex-girlfriend 

The death of Stoopid Boy, a musician widely known as the deputy president of sheng, has opened a raw and painful conversation about the silent battles many men carry alone.

A video shared on Facebook on August 30, 2026, captures what appears to be an interview-style clip filmed against a rough concrete wall, in which a man speaks candidly about heartbreak, emotional exhaustion, and the quiet desperation that can build when pain goes unaddressed.

The Weight of a First and Last Love

In the clip, the speaker describes a tender moment with his child that cut through everything, a moment his partner pointed out simply by saying "daddy umekula," and his child responded with a kiss. He says that memory sits alongside deeper pain tied to a woman he describes as his first and only love.

"My girlfriend stole everything in the house and stole my hearet as well; I have never loved anyone as much as I loved my girlfriend. Will take my onw life and leave this life for you," he said. 

He describes reaching for alcohol, substances, and anything else that might offer brief relief, but acknowledges that each escape only delays the feeling rather than resolving it. "Unafeel fiti. Kidogo kidogo. But all this time, mkifel fiti, bado unafight," he says, capturing the exhausting loop of trying to hold on while quietly coming apart.

A Plea Not to Give Up

The speaker's message shifts toward the broader pattern he sees among men, noting that even those who appear fine are often fighting battles no one around them can see. He acknowledges how difficult it is to ask for help when others are also struggling, and how that isolation can become unbearable.

"Don't give up the fight," he urges, directing his words at anyone navigating the same darkness. He mourns Stoopid Boy not just as a person lost, but as a mirror for men who recognise their own pain in his story.

A second segment in the video, filmed in low light under a blanket, carries the caption "most men we see ourselves in stoopid boy," underlining just how widely the musician's story has landed.

The speaker closes with a reminder that difficult seasons do pass, and that better days follow.

"Vitu zote mbaya zita pita na vitu vizuri zakuja," he says before signing off.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out to a mental health professional or a trusted person in your life. You do not have to fight alone.*
