Babu Owino Mourns Death of Musician Stoopid Boy

Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino has mourned the death of Kenyan musician Edgar, popularly known as Stoopid Boy. 

In a post on Thursday night, August 28, Babu described Stoopid Boy’s passing as painful. 

The lawmaker eulogized Stoopid Boy as a brother, friend, and good soul, saying his memory would live on. 

“Life can be so unpredictable. It is painful to accept that you are no longer with us. You were a brother, a friend, and a good soul.

“Rest well, bro. You will never be forgotten. May your soul rest in Eternal Peace, ‘Stoopid Boy’,” Babu stated. 

Stoopid Boy passed away on Thursday evening under mysterious circumstances.  

He was widely known for his hit song “G Baga Jat,” which dominated the airwaves and social media platforms in 2024. The song earned him a remix that featured Mejja, Gody Tennor, Breeder LW and Spoiler. 

News of the musician’s death spread rapidly across social media, with fans expressing their heartbreak and mourning his passing.

His death comes months after popular Ohangla musician Tonny Ndiema also passed away. 

Ndiema died on Tuesday, June 30, while receiving treatment at Oasis Hospital in Kisii town.

Prince Indah mourned Ndiema, describing his death as a painful loss to the music industry.

He said Ndiema was a brother and colleague whose contribution to the music industry would not be forgotten.

"From the same music industry where dreams were nurtured. From the same grounds of toil where laughter once echoed. This evening, we stand united in silence, bound not by festivity but by a great loss. One of our own, Tony Ndiema Wuod Okinyo, has taken a final bow. It was a familiar name with a shared memory in our collective story. A brother has rested in eternity. 

“Though death has dimmed a light among us musicians, it cannot erase the footprints left in our performing halls and shared podiums, nor the impact carved into the hearts of his fans,” he stated.
