I couldn't hold my tears after he spoke to me. God has spoken to me through him," he said.

The Kenyan entertainment fraternity has organised a fundraising dinner to raise funds for cater for medication of the ailing organiser at the Carnivore Simba restaurant next Friday.

Martin Mulwa, the vice chair of Event Managers Association of Kenya said they expect to host at least 500 people and raise a minimum of 20 Million.

Big Kev who is the founder of Tru Blaq has had a rough time since he fell ill in 2010; He has undergone more than seven surgeries to remove a recurrent head tumor.

Last year he lost his sight due to the numerous surgeries he had undergone, in what doctors described as drying up of the nerves that transmit light from the eye to the brain.

“The doctors call it optic atrophy. They say that the optic nerves dried up,” Big Kev wrote on his Facebook page on December 3, 2016 when he announced losing his sight.
