As Kenyans continue to eulogize rapper Chris Kantai, many have been waiting to see what Norway based rapper Stella Mwangi will say about the fallen solider who was instrumental in shaping her career.
Stella alias STL and the late Chris to the Kantada go way back; the latter is credited with introducing the former into the Kenyan rap scene back in 2005. On Instagram Mwangi was thankful for Kantai’s influence in her career especially when no one wanted anything her.
“This one hit me hard… I been mourning. We come from far G. Fuck this shit! This wasn’t the way it was supposed to end. We were to meet many more times and create uplifting music, that’s what we agreed! I remember early 2005, when I stepped in the Kenyan music scene. Nobody wanted to give me a shot, they said I wouldn’t make it cos I didn’t know Swahili sheng. You showed me love from first moment, you told me; “stick to ur style! U not the one to change,- it’s THEM”. Kantai, you beautiful soul

Regrets
Mwangi also shared that she regrets coming to Kenya last year and never reaching out to him for a sit down.
“We had wonderful conversations about life, God & music. We wrote Happy, recorded it & shot video in like 2 days! It was pure joy. U inspired me so much, i had memorized ur whole ‘Happy’ verse in like 10min, it cracked u up during the video shoot 
I feel so bad that I didn’t reach out to u last I was in Kenya, it all went so fast..I thought we had time!
Even tho it’s a heartache, I can feel your spirit now, your truly Happy
I pray for your family with love wishing them peace. #RestInParadise
