Taking to social media, the mother of one uploaded a poster and captioned it to read;

Ngaii Ngaiii Wakwa eeeโ€ฆ. (Ooh my God) Glory and honour to God. Named the first female Kenyan gospel musician to have 68+ million views on Youtube. Thank you and congratulations to my team and my fans all over for this milestone of being a central Kikuyu gospel artist. I love yโ€™all. Iโ€™m humbled.โ€

She concludes by sharing a bible verse; โ€œPhilippians 4:13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me.โ€

Currently, her top three songs are;

Iremaย (scars) with over 7.7 million views,ย Mucamoย (taste) with over 6.2 million views, andย Mwakiย (fire) with over 5.5 million views.

The songย Iremaย was aspired by a major setback she suffered back in 2014 after giving birth prematuarely to her twins- a boy and a girl.

This was after they struggled bearing children with her husband for over nine years.

The babies who were born at seven months lead to their hospital admission at Nairobi womenโ€™s hospital with the bill rising to a staggering Ksh4.5 million.

This compelled close friends and family to call for a fundraiser and the event was organised by formerย Kamemeย radio presenter Njogu wa Njoroge.

It caught the attention of President Uhuru Kenyatta who donated Ksh 1 million and the bill was cleared.

Her son later passed away but her daughter Wambui bounced back and is now enrolled in school.

This, she revealed while speaking during an interview with a local radio station.

โ€œEverybody in life has a scar, we see them and remember the occurrences but the scars cannot stop us from overcoming the situations and truly serving Godโ€ย the song description by the singer reads.

โ€œIt inspired my song โ€˜Iremaโ€™ because the scars of life should not stop us from praising God. The bad things we go through are to encourage others in the future. And I thank God for he saved my daughter Wambui who is now in school.โ€ย she said.
