Rapper Wangechi – “I am stronger after the accident”
Wangechi is back like she never left. Despite protests from her fans for her silence she finally has a new video out titled ‘Used To It.’
‘’It’s been a year since I dropped something but I got y’all covered for the whole year. Back to that rap thing!!!!!’’ She posted in response to her temporary music hiatus.
Barely a week after its release, it is official the queen of rap is back. Receiving massive love from her fans and media alike, the more mature Wangechi is promising to give more than she did.
Of those she wants to give to her fans is a personal story about her scars and her healing process.
‘’Scars are easier to talk about than they are to show, with all the remembered feelings laid bare. Rarely do we see wounds that are in the process of healing. I’m not sure if it’s because I felt too much shame to let anyone see a process as intimate as overcoming hurt. Or if it’s because even when we master the courage to share our still incomplete healing, people reflexively look away. Don’t be afraid to share your story it’s a part of who you are today.’’ She posted.
She also added how wearing a bikini is not her cup of tea.
‘’On a lighter note: Bikinis give me mad anxiety.’’ Her post read.
The rapper was involved in a fatal accident in 2014 at the St Austins roundabout along James Gichuru road. The 3 am accident claimed the life of her best friend Tionna while she and another friend, Tewa were hospitalized for weeks as they fought for their lives.
Wangechi was admitted in ICU with serious injuries with her left side suffering from temporary paralysis for a couple of months.
She was eventually discharged from hospital but had to undergo intense physical and emotional therapy.
Opening up about the accident on few occasions, the rapper admitted how it affected her music career as she can no longer play an instrument.
‘’The accident drastically affected my music career in various ways. I have never told this to anyone before but it can amuse you if I told you that I can’t play any music instrument.” She told a local daily.
“My left side, from the brain all the way to my feet was badly affected. For example, I can’t synchronize movements from my left hand with my right. My right side is too fast in doing things. I can’t even play the guitar or even dance in a synchronized manner.’’ She added.
