MC Fullstop’s Family Appeals for Financial Help Following His Death

The family of beloved reggae and dancehall hypeman John Maina, popularly known as MC Fullstop, has made a heartfelt appeal to the public for financial assistance as they prepare to lay him to rest.

In an official statement released over the weekend, the family expressed their deep sorrow over the passing of the legendary entertainer, describing him as a man who brought “light, laughter, and unforgettable energy” to everyone around him.

MC Fullstop passed away on Friday, August 1, 2025, following a prolonged battle with tuberculosis, which had severely affected both his lungs and throat.

The family is now calling on fans, friends, and well-wishers to support them during this difficult period by contributing to the official MC Fullstop Funeral Fund. A verified Till Number (6624502) has been set up to receive donations, and the family has cautioned the public to avoid sending money to any other numbers.

“Every contribution, no matter the amount, is appreciated and will go directly toward funeral arrangements and family support,” reads part of the statement.

MC Fullstop had been candid about his health challenges in recent years. In 2021, he revealed that he had been diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB), which had significantly affected his lungs.

In 2022, he was hit with another setback when he was diagnosed with TB of the throat, which impacted his ability to speak and perform — a heartbreaking blow for a man whose voice had become synonymous with Kenya’s reggae culture.

Until his death, MC Fullstop remained a pillar in the entertainment industry. Known for his fiery energy and signature voice, he was a weekend mainstay on television and a central figure in Nairobi’s reggae scene. His passion for music, dedication to his craft, and genuine love for his fans earned him legendary status in Kenyan showbiz.

“To many, he was a legend. To us, he was family,” the family said. “A kind, humble, and passionate man whose love for his craft was only matched by the love he had for his people.”

The family has promised to announce memorial and funeral arrangements in due course, as they continue to navigate the grief of losing one of their own.

They have also thanked fans for their unwavering love and support over the years, urging everyone to honor MC Fullstop’s memory by continuing to celebrate the vibrant legacy he leaves behind.
