In a previous interview, YY shared his childhood experiences, including an abusive father, which significantly impacted his development due to his physically abusive environment.

“When I was in high school, I experienced a lot of physical abuse. This also influenced who I am today. I have never forgotten the abuse I went through, even though I have forgotten some of the good things,” he said, visibly emotional.

“I was raised in Nairobi for eight years until my dad passed away when I was in Standard 3. My dad used to beat my mum severely. I wanted to protect my mother, so I often intervened during those times,” YY reflected during the interview.

Here are some of the reactions from his fans:

Jacky Avfril: “So sad, my condolences.”

Leacky Frankoo: “Sorry, may her soul rest in peace.”

Vicky Ayocki: “Roho yake ilale mahali pema.”

Lavender Mamake Whinslet: “Condolences to the family.”

Sheilah Orende: “My condolences to the family.”

Maureen Milanda: “May she rest in peace.”

Deborah Atieno: “I will never stop loving you, Min Dolly.”
