The reggae community is mourning the tragic loss of Elsie Njeru, the wife of popular reggae emcee MC Jah Watchman. Elsie lost her life on February 22, 2025, in a devastating road accident near Nyayo Stadium.
She was heading home after a late-night shift when a speeding Volkswagen Golf GTI, allegedly driven by a drunk driver, crashed into the staff van she was in. The impact was fatal, claiming her life instantly and leaving several others injured. The driver fled the scene, and police have since launched a manhunt.
To honor her memory, family, friends, and reggae lovers gathered at Quiver Lounge in Kilimani on February 24 for a candlelight vigil. The emotional event, organized by her husband, was attended by notable figures such as Nairobi Senator Karen Nyamu, media personality Shix Kapienga, DJ Moh Spice, comedian Churchill, and P-Unit’s Frasha. Dressed in white, attendees lit candles, shared heartfelt tributes, and sang in remembrance of Elsie, celebrating her warmth, kindness, and love for reggae music.
Elsie’s passing has left a deep void in the hearts of those who knew her. She was a beloved wife, a devoted mother, and a cherished friend.
