Mary Wangeci, known by her stage name Ngesh Bad Gal, swept fans off their feet with her exceptional lyrical prowess and became an instant sensation on social media thanks to her verse lyrics on ‘Rieng Genje’.
Her talent resonated with many local music fans and catapulted her to overnight celebrity status and stardom.
The fast-rising rapper at one point revealed her rate card, saying that she charges Ksh300,000 for performances.
Just as many people were beginning to think that Ngesh was slowly becoming an unstoppable force within the Gengetone music genre, she disappeared suddenly from the limelight just like the way she shot to fame in May 2023.
Five months after Ngesh became a national sensation, no one is even talking about her anymore.
Some netizens have been asking about Ngesh’s whereabouts as it seems vloggers not no longer interested in interviewing her as well.
Unline Stevo Simple Boy who still remains relevant to date after he shot to fame, Ngesh’s popularity is fast fading away in a typical Kenyan stereotype – ‘Kenyans forget so fast’.
It’s easy to get 15 seconds of fame, but is harder to retain that fame and make a living out of it. So far only a handful of celebrities who gained fame overnight have mastered the trick of eking a living from their popularity – Azziad Nasenya is one of them.
