Kenyan Ghetto Kids hold first candle lighting for Stoopid Boy as 2 days pass since his death
By Steve Ireri, August 29, 2026Kenyan Ghetto Kids have held their first candle-lighting tribute for departed Gotta City rapper Stoopid Boy, staging an emotional dance performance in his memory as two days passed since the G Bag Na Jug hitmaker died.
In a video shared on TikTok on Saturday, August 29, 2026, the young dancers gathered around a mounted photograph of the late rapper before lighting two candles beside his image.
The children then played a sombre song as they launched into a choreographed dance around the photograph, their movements forming a poignant tribute to the artiste whose music had made him a familiar figure among young people in the neighbourhood.
At different points during the performance, the dancers dropped to their knees around the photograph, deepening the solemn mood as they continued moving to the emotional song.
Some of the children were also seen placing their hands over their mouths, appearing to struggle to contain their emotions before gradually returning to the carefully choreographed dance routine.
The young dancers continued circling the photograph with synchronised movements, turning the otherwise simple candle-lighting into a moving street tribute for the late rapper.
How Stoopid Boy died
His death sent shockwaves through the informal settlement, with residents gathering outside his home as news of the rapper’s death spread through the neighbourhood.
Castro said he was contacted by Pingo, one of the artistes from Gotta City, and asked to go to Stoopid Boy’s home after the rapper was found dead.
He recalled entering the house and encountering a sight that he said he did not believe would ever leave his mind.
“To be honest, the image I have seen at Stoopid Boy’s home, I don’t think it will ever leave my mind,” Castro said.
He explained that the sight was particularly painful because he had known Stoopid Boy as a lively and talkative young man.
“I had known him as a lively person and he was always speaking,” he said.
Castro said he found the rapper hanging in the sitting room.
“When I entered the house, he was hanging in the sitting room,” he recalled.
The manager said he was among those who entered the room and saw the rapper after his death.
“Man, that image was so sad. He was there lifeless,” Castro said.
