Beloved Kalenjin secular singer Naswa Melodies has revealed she is battling cancer, using her musical voice to share her deeply personal struggle in a newly released emotional song titled “Osoben Ano” (translated as “Remember Me”).
The song, which was released earlier this week, has captured the hearts of fans across the Rift Valley and beyond. In the soulful track, Naswa opens up about the pain and challenges of living with cancer, and makes a heartfelt plea for support—both emotional and financial—from her fans, well-wishers, and notably, President William Ruto.
Naswa, known for her energetic performances and politically conscious songs, reminds the Head of State of her role in supporting his presidential campaigns through her music and rallies. She now asks that he remember her in her time of need, just as she stood by him when he needed voices of support in the run-up to the 2022 elections.
A Song of Strength and Hope
“Osoben Ano is more than just a song—it’s a cry from the heart,” said one of Naswa’s longtime fans from Eldoret. “It’s painful to hear her in that condition, but her courage to speak through her art is inspiring.”
The song has since gone viral on social media platforms and local radio stations, with fans and fellow artists praising Naswa for her bravery and transparency.
An Outpouring of Support
Messages of love, encouragement, and prayers have been pouring in for the artist, who has long been a staple in the Kalenjin music scene. Several musicians from the region, including both secular and gospel performers, have taken to social media to rally support for her.
“Naswa Melodies has always been a voice for the people. It’s time for us to be her voice,” said fellow Kalenjin artist Kipsang Arap Korir, who is now calling on the music industry and the public to stand in solidarity with her.
A Legacy of Music and Advocacy
Naswa Melodies rose to prominence with her catchy tunes, cultural pride, and political endorsements that resonated with her fan base. Over the years, she built a reputation as not just a performer, but also a storyteller and advocate for her community through music.
Now, facing a personal health crisis, she has chosen to fight with the one tool she knows best—her voice.
As she continues her treatment journey, fans and leaders alike are being urged to step in and offer their support, whether through medical assistance, financial aid, or simply spreading awareness of her situation.
