On May 31, 2023, the content creator shared her last video appearing frail and weak, confined to a wheelchair and told her fans:
“My fans, I have fallen sick, don’t think I have gone missing, mimi sijapotea, nikipona tutaonana. Mungu ni mwema,” Shosh WaKinangop said a few weeks ago.
The Man U fan was among most followed TikTokers with over 592k followers.

In another yet viral video, she told her online community that her age did not hinder her from being cool and staying up to date with their slang.
“Msinione mimi ni shosho, me najua sheng, nawalambotov.”
Her fans have been sending condolence messages to her family.
