In a moving Instagram post over the weekend, former musician Lovy Longomba marked two years since the death of his brother Christian.


Prophet Lovy, in a long post, thanked the Lord for overcoming death on our behalf. This was in remembrance of his brother Christian who passed on some years back.


Prophet Lovy said he missed Chris and knows he and Chris will meet one day again. Lovy, currently a prophet, says the death of his brother was not a surprise. The preacher said God had already told him that Christian would rest on the day he passed on.

Before passing away in Los Angeles, California, Christian spent two weeks in the hospital. Lovy claimed that he prayed, praying that his brother would die and not enter the afterlife.


He claimed that his brother had a protracted argument. He continued by saying that although God is aware, sometimes having prophetic knowledge is not the greatest option.


Lovy said he tried everything, spiritually, physically, and materially to keep him, but God had decided. 


 A tumor in Christian's brain had been removed through surgery. Lovy told his Instagram followers that his brother had passed away after his death. The Longomba family received well wishes from Kenyans who adored the two brothers.


Christian underwent surgery to remove a brain tumor after receiving a diagnosis in May 2015. Christian started his recovery after the surgery, for which he claimed his doctors had told him there was no certainty he would survive, only for the tumor to return and keep him in the hospital for several months.

He received radiation therapy for a further six weeks to remove the tumor. To pay for Christian's treatment in the US, his family and friends launched a campaign to gather USD20,000 (Sh2 million).


With successful songs including "Piga Makofi," "Vuta Pumz," and "Shika More," The Longombas became well-known in 2002.


After admitting that the music business wasn't as lucrative as it is now, they moved to the USA roughly 15 years ago, when they were dominating East African music chats with their tunes.


The Longombas are members of a well-known musical family. Their grandfather Vicky Longomba was in the TPOK Jazz band, while their father Lovy Longomba Snr was a member of the well-known Congolese Lingala group Super Mazembe.
