Kenyan musician Zzero Sufuri was on Friday, July 24, involved in a grisly accident while riding his motorcycle in Nairobi.
Speaking to Kenyans.co.ke, his manager Maurice Mwau confirmed that the gengetone artist was travelling in the Kibra area when he was involved in a head-on collision with a speeding vehicle.
"He is known in the area so locals are the one who helped him and took him to St Mary's Hospital for treatment and was later transferred to to a hospital in Uthiru," he stated.

Mwai explained that the Zimenishika hitmaker was going about his daily business when the accident occurred.
"We were working on a project Reformed Gangsters Foundation (RGF) where we are looking to thelp youth in Kibra region. In fact last week we went around helping vulnerable households in the area," he stated.
The solo gengetone artiste broke into the limelight when he first recorded a short freestyle video of the ‘Zimenishika’ song that went viral on social media.
The Kibra resident later recorded a video for the song which had garnered over two million views on YouTube as of July 25, 2020.
In a previous interview, the musician revealed that his father was a preacher and supported his craft in music.
“I love and adore him, he has brought me this far. He has his own church and respects my hustle like any other career. This is also my church,” Sufuri stated on ‘10 over 10′.
He has gone to release other chart-topping songs including 'Matisha’, ‘Chuki na Doo’, ‘Matiati’, and ‘Manzi’.
Sufuri has even landed major gigs where he perfromed at the Koroga Festival in 2019 as well other international shows in Dubai.
