How despite being rooted in Germany, Nyako honored Brian Chira

The burial of TikToker Brian Chira is currently underway in Gathanje, Kiambu County.

Following the viewing of his body at KU mortuary earlier today, Chira’s friends proceeded to Githunguri.

His supporters adorned themselves with merchandise featuring his name and favorite catchphrases on t-shirts and hoodies.

German-based TikToker Rose Atieno, also known as Nyako Pilot, made sure to pay her last respects to Brian Chira.

Nyako held a live session to honor Chira by dressing in black attire.

She also lit a candle and released balloons as a tribute to him, with Amos and Josh’s hit song “Baadaye” softly playing in the background.

Expressing her emotions openly during the live session, Nyako, who shared a close bond with Chira, stated, “I’m paying my last respect to Brian Chira, that’s why I am in a suit. Chira wanted a suit, that’s why I put it on.”

Friends and followers joined the live session to mourn together, where Nyako played Otile Brown’s song ‘One Call,’ reportedly Chira’s favorite song.

In Githunguri, Kamba musician Justina Syokau performed a tribute song she composed for the artist titled ‘Safiri Salama Brian Chira.’

Notably, Otile Brown also performed Chira’s favorite song, “One Call.”

Comedian Terence Creative took to his Instagram to share a heartfelt video, shedding tears for the late content creator.

Reflecting on their shared experiences, Terence revealed that, like Brian Chira, he too was raised by his grandmother after becoming an orphan.

“Farewell, Chira. As an orphan raised by my grandmother, your passing deeply resonates with me. Rest in peace, Chira. You were dearly loved,” Terence wrote.

Brian Chira thrived in the spotlight as a content creator, using his platform to candidly share his personal experiences, including battles with depression and alcoholism.

According to a police report, Chira died as a result of an accident he was involved in in the Karuri area on March 16.
