Musician Charles Njagua aka Jaguar repaid Poxi Presha in death by shopping for the late rapper’s first born daughter, who is joining secondary school this week.

Jaguar took to Facebook to narrate how the late rapper, known for his Otongolo Time hit, helped him launch his musical career after their meet up at a chemist in Umoja where Jaguar worked as a cleaner.

It was the late Poxi Presha who gave Jaguar the first opportunity to perform on a public stage in Embu.

“I remember him telling me that ‘As long as you are making steps to improve every day, you will eventually be one of the best out there.’ His statement motivated me to go back to the studio and recorded a new song which enabled me to perform alongside him in Embu the same year which was a big milestone in my career,” narrated Jaguar.

Jaguar went on to narrate how in 2005 when Poxi Presha was diagonised with tuberculosis he (Jaguar) told his employer at the Umoja Chemist to deduct his salary to help pay the rapper’s medical expenses.

“In 2005, Poxi Presha became sick which was a big blow to his career and the Kenyan Music Industry as he was a vivid anti-Piracy activist .Working in a chemist prompted me to request my boss to deduct my salary for the sake of Poxi’s Medication since he had helped me a lot in my Musical journey. Unfortunately after the struggle with tuberculosis, Poxi passed away,” narrated Jaguar.

Jaguar shared photos of himself alongside the late Poxi Presha’s smiling daughter as she tried on school shoes at an outlet.
