The ‘sitolia’ hit maker,Willy Paul has been hitting headlines with his controversial music which his fans judge as anti-Gospel as he claims. Earlier in the year he was in the news for something different after two of his singers died in a space of two weeks. People accused him of having sacrificed him, allegations he denied.
He has explained in an interview how his two dancers met their demise. The first dancer to die was called Valerie and she passed on in December. Willy was visibly agitated as he described how she had met her death. He said, ”Kwanza kuna huyo wa kwanza alikuwa anitwa Valerie. Yaani huyo mtoto ungemwangalia alikuwa 19. Alikuwa ana potential kabisa, I think alikuwa my best. Walikuwa wameenda roadshow nakuru na hawakuniambia, kwa sababu kuna vitu nilikuwa nimewakataza before.”
Valerie and her friends then slept in the town after the show. The next morning, they went for breakfast. While in the hotel, Valerie remembered that she had forgotten something back where they had slept and went back.
While crossing the road she was hit by two boda boda riders who were racing. The resulting impact saw her skull split open. She was taken to hospital while she was still alive but bleeding profusely but was only treated at 2pm. She was in such a bad condition after all the blood loss, that she was already telling people not to worry about her, as she was dying. Willy was unhappy with the treatment she received but he says he has forgiven the doctors.
The second one was called Joanne. The driver who was driving the car she was in overtook at a terrible spot and tried to swerve at the last minute. The result was that the car went veered off into a tree and hit the tree at the point Joanne was seated with her suffering head and neck injuries. She died on the spot.
