The news caused shock among his family, colleagues, friends and loyal fans who couldn't just imagine days leave alone weeks without their favorite presenter, whom together with his co-host Mbusii make a dream team which has become a force to reckon with in the drive show.
Upon Lion deh’s hospitalization, Mbusii called upon their fans to dedicate the presenter in their prayers.
“Liondeh is currently hospitalized at Matter hospital where he has been since last Saturday. The doctors say that our very own rasta had developed pancreas problems but he is recuperating well.”
“Good morning Rasta people! Let’s pray to JAH for Lion’s Quick healing as he battles wicked Babylon illness. Doctors cure but Jah Heals. Iriee.”
Their prayers were answered and a week later, Liondeh was released from Mater hospital in South B area Nairobi. He resumed work a few days after where he was full of gratitude to his friends and fans for supporting him at his lowest time in life.
However, it may seem normal to many that Mbusii still managed to keep their millions of fans attached to their radio sets despite his partner in crime's condition.
We caught up with the pint-sized presenter and he revealed that it was hard to cope with the thought of his best friend and his "right man" ailing in hospital, adding that no one would replace the chemistry the two have, but was glad he recovered fully.
"Manze siku hiyo wolan alikuwa hosi, nilikuwa lonely sana juu unajua tumezoeana na Lion chemistry yetu kwa show. " Said Mbusii.
"Sasa show kuwa one man halafu unajua right man wako, ako hosi haskii fiti yaani..hata nikikuja meditation manze nabaki na meditate one man sifiki kwa mawingu mahali inafaa lakini Lion sahii ako fiti, Jah alifanya mambo yake." he added.
