The family of Zakaria Kariuki, beloved Kenyan comedian known as Mr. KK Mwenyewe, has not yet released an official statement regarding his tragic passing on July 14, 2025, at Kiambu Level 5 Hospital. The 25-year-old content creator, celebrated for his viral impersonations of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, succumbed to a brief illness, leaving fans and loved ones in shock. While the family remains silent, close friend and collaborator Kafengo shared a heartfelt message on social media, confirming the comedian’s death and requesting prayers and support for the family during this difficult time. This message, posted on July 15, 2025, has served as the primary source of confirmation for KK’s passing, as reported by outlets like TUKO.co.ke and The Kenya Times.

Kafengo’s statement, widely circulated on platforms like Facebook, expressed profound grief: “We are heartbroken to announce the sudden demise of Zakaria Kariuki, a.k.a. Mr. KK Mwenyewe. He passed away yesterday evening while undergoing medical attention at Kiambu Level 5 Hospital. During these sad moments, we ask for support and prayers for the family and friends. May God give us strength at this difficult time. May his soul rest in peace.” This announcement, while not directly from the family, reflects the close-knit bond within KK’s creative circle and hints at the family’s ongoing mourning process. Sources indicate the family is still processing the loss, and details about his illness—reportedly chest complications—remain private, as noted by bnn.ke.

KK’s meteoric rise to fame began in 2022 with his sharp, humorous skits mimicking Gachagua’s accent and mannerisms, earning him over 1.1 million TikTok followers and 412,000 on Facebook. His content, often filmed in modest settings, resonated with Kenyans for its authenticity and cultural commentary. The absence of a formal family statement has not diminished the outpouring of tributes from fans, comedians, and public figures like Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah and Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro, who praised KK’s talent and societal impact. Former Deputy President Gachagua also mourned him, though his tribute sparked controversy, as some, including Mathira MP Eric Wamumbi, criticized his lack of support for KK during his lifetime.

As the family prepares to share more, possibly including burial plans or a public memorial, the creative community and fans continue to honor KK’s legacy. His work, blending humor with social reflection, remains a testament to his brilliance. We extend our deepest condolences and await the family’s words to further celebrate the life of this remarkable young artist.
