As Kenyans continue to eulogize rapper Chris Kantai, many have been waiting to see what Norway based rapper Stella Mwangi will say about the fallen solider who was instrumental in shaping her career.

Stella alias STL and the late Chris to the Kantada go way back; the latter is credited with introducing the former into the Kenyan rap scene back in 2005. On Instagram Mwangi was thankful for Kantai’s influence in her career especially when no one wanted anything her.

“This one hit me hard… I been mourning. We come from far G. Fuck this shit! This wasn’t the way it was supposed to end. We were to meet many more times and create uplifting music, that’s what we agreed! I remember early 2005, when I stepped in the Kenyan music scene. Nobody wanted to give me a shot, they said I wouldn’t make it cos I didn’t know Swahili sheng. You showed me love from first moment, you told me; “stick to ur style! U not the one to change,- it’s THEM”. Kantai, you beautiful soul❤️,” she said. 

Regrets

Mwangi also shared that she regrets coming to Kenya last year and never reaching out to him for a sit down.

“We had wonderful conversations about life, God & music. We wrote Happy, recorded it & shot video in like 2 days! It was pure joy. U inspired me so much, i had memorized ur whole ‘Happy’ verse in like 10min, it cracked u up during the video shoot ? I feel so bad that I didn’t reach out to u last I was in Kenya, it all went so fast..I thought we had time!?? Even tho it’s a heartache, I can feel your spirit now, your truly Happy?? I pray for your family with love wishing them peace. #RestInParadise ?”

Rapper STL recently left Team Mafisi scrambling for a plan after introducing her younger sister.

STL comes from a family of three and was raised by her mother Perpetua Mwangi in Norway after their dad, Jeff Mwangi Kwirikia, was killed.

Mwangi, a former political activist, died in Dal Ullensaker, Norway on January 31 2012 after being knocked down by a hit-and-run car whose driver has since been charged with manslaughter.

Cherished

Since then not much about STL’s family has been out until recently when she took to social media to wish her younger sister Cherrie Mwangi a happy  birthday.
“Mom raised 3 daughters. I’m second born. Help me wish last born a Happyyy birthday!!??? Even tho U @cheriemwangi get on my nerves sometimes, I would take bullets 4u anyday☠ Love you ❤ #scorpioseason” she posted. 
Her sister was also in Kenya recently and shared how lovely her mother land is.
“Kwaheri Kenya, you’ve been treating me good?? Where should I go next????” she said. 
Just like her sister, Cherie can also rap and has a few videos on instagram spitting rhymes which are just as good as her sister’s.
