Comedian Crazy Kennar recently opened up about the heartbreaking loss of his first child with partner Natalie Asewe. In an emotional interview with Oga Obinna TV, Kennar revealed that their son passed away after spending five days in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
“The baby died after five days in NICU. In December 2023, we lost our first child,” Kennar shared. The tragic loss occurred while he was preparing for his *Happy Country Show, 2023 Edition*.
Reflecting on the experience, Kennar described it as one of the most challenging moments of his life. “I was supposed to come here as a father, but unfortunately, my son died four days ago. It has been a very tough journey because we had to go through that and, at the same time, make the show,” he said.

In his message to the public, Kennar urged people to practice kindness and compassion. “Whenever you see someone smiling, ask them if they are okay. Let’s be our brother’s and sister’s keepers and love one another,” he emphasized.
On her Instagram, Natalie Asewe paid a heartfelt tribute to their late son, who passed away on December 11. Sharing a photo from her pregnancy, Natalie expressed the deep pain of losing a child and the dreams that would never come to fruition.
“They say there’s no greater pain than childbirth, but I disagree. The greatest pain is carrying and delivering a child you never get to raise. I grieve not just my son but the moments I will never have—hearing him cry, teaching him to walk, and watching him grow,” she wrote.
In a poignant conclusion, Natalie added, “An angel in the Book of Life wrote down my baby’s birth, then whispered as he closed the book, ‘Too beautiful for this earth.’”
Despite the loss, Kennar is moving forward with the *Happy County 2024 Edition*, set to take place at Kasarani Arena on December 14. He aims to draw 4,000 attendees, offering a two-hour performance with five-minute intermissions.
Kennar, one of Africa’s most prominent content creators and comedians, splits his time between Kenya and South Africa, where he is pursuing a three-year course of study.
