Considering the deaths in the Haitian quake, the deaths of those onboard the Ethiopian Airlines plane that crashed, and even the road carnage in Nairobi, the rumors about Osogo Winyo’s (John Okinyi) death have been flying back and forth and shocking many fans.
The rumors however hit close to home because Osogo has lost one of the most important people in his life.
The singer whose stage name means The Weaverbird, burst into the limelight after releasing his first album ‘Ageng’o’ that saw him earn himself a Kisima Award nomination in 2008.
In a previous interview with Haiya!, Osogo revealed that he owes his entire success to his friend Ageng’o with emphasis on the fact that the song he sang about him (Ageng’o) became a hit, making him even more indebted to his late friend.
