Screenshots of a private WhatsApp chat involving late Arbantone rapper Stoopid Boy (Edgar Waititu) have surfaced online, showing the Gotta City artiste desperately requesting KSh 500 to buy food in what fans are calling one of his final conversations before his death on 27 August 2026.
In the leaked exchange, Stoopid Boy reaches out to a contact, explaining he has nothing to eat and needs the small amount urgently. The messages capture a tone of quiet frustration mixed with the street-smart humour he was known for, as he repeatedly follows up and assures repayment once he sorts himself out. The recipient’s replies remain largely non-committal, leaving the rapper’s plea hanging.
The timing of the chat has intensified the emotional reaction. Stoopid Boy, famous for the hit “G Bag Na Jug,” had publicly battled financial instability and addiction even after his music brought him national attention. Friends had earlier recalled him asking for far smaller sums in everyday encounters, reflecting the ongoing struggles he faced while living in Riverbank.
Social media users have flooded timelines with the screenshots, expressing heartbreak that an artist who put Gotta City on the map still had to beg for basic needs so close to his passing.
Many question why support systems around rising street talents often fail when the lights dim. Others urge privacy and respect for the family still mourning and preparing burial arrangements.
The leak adds another layer to the tributes pouring in for the young father of two. While the exact circumstances of his death remain unconfirmed, the circulating messages paint a raw picture of the final days of a talent who never fully escaped the hardships that shaped his sound. Fans continue sharing his music as they process the loss of one of Embakasi East’s most authentic voices.
