AINAMOI SUPERSTAR'S FINAL MESSAGE BEFORE DEATH: "IF I DON'T SURVIVE, TAKE CARE OF MY WIFE"
Kalenjin musician Bernard Kiprono Sang, better known as Ainamoi Superstar, died on September 27, 2022, two days after he was allegedly assaulted following a performance at K2 Resort in Koriema, Marigat, Baringo County.
Court records state that the attack happened in the early hours of September 25, 2022. The prosecution alleged that Fanuel Kandie, also known as Fano, and another man identified as Torois assaulted the singer, leaving him with serious internal injuries.
After the attack, Bernard sent WhatsApp messages to his sister, telling her he could not pass urine and feared he was dying. In his final message, he wrote:
"If I don't survive, please take care of my wife Stella... Bye sis, I love you so much, sis."
He was admitted to hospital with severe abdominal pain caused by blunt-force injuries.
Doctors found a perforated duodenal ulcer linked to the injuries he had sustained. Despite treatment, he died two days later.
Following investigations, Fanuel Kandie was arrested and charged with murder. On November 3, 2025, the Kabarnet High Court sentenced him to 20 years in prison.
Torois was also arrested during the investigation but was later released.
Ainamoi Superstar was from Ainamoi Village in Emurua Dikirr, Narok County. He was an upcoming Kalenjin musician known for blending traditional music with contemporary love songs, including songs dedicated to his wife, Stella.
His death ended a promising career before he had the chance to achieve his dreams and provide for his family.
