Reggae legend Gramps Morgan mourns Njambi Jahmby Koikai with a heartfelt message

Singer Gramps Morgan, a member of the famous reggae band Morgan Heritage from Jamaica, has joined thousands of reggae music lovers in mourning the late Njambi ‘Jahmby’ Koikai.

Njambi, better known as Fyah Mumma Jahmby, passed away at Nairobi Hospital on Monday night after battling endometriosis for a long time.

While mourning the reggae presenter on Wednesday, Gramps Morgan thanked her for the significant contributions she made to reggae music.

He wished her soul to rest in peace and noted that she would not be forgotten.

“FLY HIGH BUTTERFLY WE WILL NOT FORGET 🇰🇪 THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DID FOR REGGAE MUSIC, CULTURE, AND THE BEAUTIFUL KENYAN PEOPLE ❤️🙏🏾 REST IN PEACE MUMMA FYAAH,” Gramps Morgan said through his official Twitter account.

The music label CTBC Music Group, owned by the Morgan Heritage band, also mourned Jahmby, acknowledging her respect and immense contribution to reggae music.

Njambi, a great lover of reggae music, passed away on Monday night, June 3, after a long battle with endometriosis.

She was admitted to the ICU unit at Nairobi Hospital, where she died at around 9 PM on Monday.

The deceased, who gained fame while presenting reggae music shows on radio and television, had struggled for nearly two decades with endometriosis.

Last week, Jahmby was admitted to Nairobi Hospital and sent out a request for O-positive blood.

“Hello family, I am currently admitted to the pioneer ward at Nairobi Hospital and I need Blood O positive. Please, I am requesting blood donors for Mary Njambi Koikai,” read a post on her Instagram story.

Earlier this year, the presenter narrated her journey with endometriosis.

Fyah Mumma said the condition made her youth difficult. She dedicated her work to educating people about the disease.
