New details about the late Brian Chira have emerged two days after his tragic passing. Chira was involved in a fatal road accident early Saturday, March 16th.<\/p>\n

Many Kenyans have been visiting Otile Brown’s YouTube channel, where they are tagging the musician and informing him that Chira reportedly loved the song “One Call,” which is a collaboration with singer Ruby and was released in February 2023. The song revolves around the theme of lovers being able to rely on each other by reaching out in times of need.<\/p>\n

In response, Otile Brown has acknowledged his fans’ comments and paid tribute to Chira in a heartfelt message. “Rest easy, young King. This life can get crazy sometimes. I can only try to understand until we meet again,” he wrote. He also expressed gratitude for the love shown to their song “#onecall,” which currently has over 4 million views on YouTube.<\/p>\n

According to the last person who spoke to the content creator, Chira had reportedly begged for help. The witness, speaking to YouTuber Presenter Ali, stated that Chira appeared intoxicated and had been ejected from a popular club after a altercation. The witness offered to take him home, but Chira disembarked from the boda boda along the way and ran across the road. Tragically, he was struck by a lorry around 3 am on Saturday in the Gacharage area on the Ndenderu-Ruaka Road in Kiambu County. His body was subsequently taken to the City Mortuary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
