Two years after her passing, comedian Njugush has once again joined Kenyans in remembering the late reggae hype queen Njambi Koikai, popularly known as Fayah Mummah, in a tribute that stirred deep emotions online.
Njambi Koikai, who passed away in June 2024 after battling complications linked to advanced endometriosis, is still widely remembered for her vibrant stage presence, powerful voice in the reggae scene, and fearless advocacy for women’s health. Her story continues to resonate with many Kenyans who followed her long health struggle and her determination to speak openly about endometriosis despite the pain she endured for years.
On the second anniversary of her death, Njugush shared a simple but heartfelt message alongside a photo of the late media personality. His tribute read: “Fayah Mummah Jahmby Koikai, continue resting in peace,” a short statement that quickly spread across social media platforms, drawing thousands of reactions from fans and fellow entertainers.
Many Kenyans joined in the remembrance, flooding comment sections with emotional messages celebrating Njambi’s legacy. Some recalled her unforgettable voice on reggae mixes, while others highlighted her courage in turning her personal health battle into a national conversation that helped raise awareness about endometriosis in Kenya and beyond.
Njambi’s journey remains one of resilience. She lived with severe symptoms from a young age and later became an outspoken advocate after her diagnosis, pushing for better medical attention for women suffering from similar conditions. Her openness helped break stigma around menstrual health and encouraged many women to seek diagnosis earlier.
She was laid to rest at Lang’ata Cemetery, where family, friends, and public figures gathered in an emotional farewell that marked the end of a life many described as impactful and inspiring.
Even two years later, tributes like Njugush’s show that Njambi Koikai’s influence has not faded. Instead, her voice continues to echo through music culture, health advocacy discussions, and the memories of those she touched while alive.
