Some of his hit songs were played on Kikuyu vernacular stations and detailed controversies due to his sexist lyrics.
One of his songs, Airitu a Ruiru (Ruiru girls) ignited anger among women since it intimated that women from Ruiru were bad lovers capable of killing their husbands.
In another incident last year, another popular Kikuyu artiste John De Mathew passed on in a ghastly accident along Thika road, near Blue Post Hotel.
The car he was driving rammed into a lorry and was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital.
