Reggae Mc come deejay Mary Jahmby Koikai has passed on following a long fight with endometriosis.
She died in hospital on Tuesday morning, her friends and family said. Njambi Koikai has been sick for more than 10 years.
The reggae queen who was commonly known as Fyah Mummah has been battling endometriosis.
She underwent countless number of surgeries as her lungs collapsed every month.
She was admitted in hospital two weeks ago when she requested for blood donation to manage her condition but she didn’t make it.
Endometriosis is a disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. It can cause severe pain in the pelvis and make it harder to get pregnant. Endometriosis can start at a person’s first menstrual period and last until menopause
The extent of the disease had spread to her teeth, heart, and appendix and affected her spine causing her organs to shift to the left.
She has been mourned by fans who said she was the source of their entertainment.
For instance, ODM spokesperson Philip Etale wrote on his social media handle and said

I am gutted beyond expressions.
Fare thee well my friend, sister and just best friend Fyah Mummah Jahmby Koikai.
That beautiful smile, the phone calls we had talking about many things including our days at KBC back in the day, your mastery of Maragoli language and the jolly moments you shared with those you knew. You had a big family, just a big one… go well my friend.
