Kasa Boss reveals what inspired his plan to build Stoopid Boy’s children a house

By , September 2, 2026

Content creator Kasa Boss has defended his decision to pitch the idea of building a house for the children left behind by late Gotta City rapper Stoopid Boy, explaining what prompted him to come up with the plan and insisting that it was not a request made by the deceased artiste’s family.

Speaking in a TikTok video on Tuesday, August 1, 2026, Kasa Boss said the idea was entirely his after he encountered one of Stoopid Boy’s children and learnt more about the living circumstances the late rapper had left his family in.

Kasa Boss explained that he was particularly moved after meeting one of the children and realising that Stoopid Boy had been living in a rented house before his death.

“And then this idea of building Stoopid Boy a house is not an idea that came from the family. No, they did not tell me to build for them. That idea was mine and it started after I met and saw one of the kids he left behind,” Kasa Boss said.

The content creator said the encounter made him think beyond the immediate funeral arrangements and consider what could be done to give Stoopid Boy’s children greater security after losing their father.

“I am aware he was living in a rental. So I, as a leader, thought he has kids he has left behind and because he was also famous, we should build him a house so his kids should never have to pay rent again,” he explained.

Kasa Boss maintained that the proposal should therefore not be interpreted as something the family demanded or commissioned, but rather an idea he personally felt could give the late artiste’s children a more stable future.

“It was my idea and not the family’s,” he reiterated.

The content creator also sought to draw a clear distinction between money being raised for Stoopid Boy’s burial and any future fundraising that could be undertaken for the proposed house.

Kasa Boss explained that the Paybill already issued was intended for the burial, while a separate decision would have to be made before any money could be collected specifically for the construction project.

“And that is why we also clarified that the Paybill we issued out is where you may donate for his burial,” he said.

He added that after the burial, a committee would sit down and assess whether the house project was feasible, meaning that the proposal was not yet a guaranteed undertaking.

“Then after that a committee will meet and discuss whether it will be possible to build a house for him,” Kasa Boss explained.

The content creator further stressed that the project was never meant to be compulsory, saying it would depend entirely on the willingness of those who wanted to contribute towards securing a home for Stoopid Boy’s children.

“And it was just my idea. It is not a must and it is for those who are willing,” he said.

Kasa Boss also revealed that the idea gained further momentum after he discussed it with other people who felt it would be a worthwhile way of supporting the family.

“That idea of the house came after we were with some guys who said it was a good idea. And you will never hear that the money is being sent to my personal number,” he said.

He maintained that any future fundraising for the house would be handled through an arrangement involving the family and a committee, rather than through his personal accounts.

“It will be upon the family. The committee will meet and come up with a Paybill which people will use,” Kasa Boss explained.

He said the ultimate intention was to bring people together around an initiative that could leave Stoopid Boy’s children with a lasting form of support after the loss of their father.

“So we will unite and build a house for him,” Kasa Boss said.

When did Stoopid Boy die?

Stoopid Boy, whose real name was Edgar, died on Thursday, August 27, 2026, bringing to an abrupt end the life of one of the recognisable faces of Kenya’s fast-growing Arbantone movement.

His death was confirmed by comedian and content creator Oga Obinna, although details surrounding the circumstances of his death remained unclear when the news broke.

The rapper rose to national prominence through his breakout 2024 hit G Baga Jat, also widely known as G Bag Na Jug, which became closely associated with the rise of Arbantone and established him as one of the genre’s recognisable young voices.

His death came only months after he had lost his elder brother, a devastating family bereavement that manager Castro said had deeply affected him.

Castro further revealed that the late brother had played a father-like role within the family and had been among those who encouraged Stoopid Boy to seek rehabilitation.
