His death suddenly threw the African music world into a state of shock as the musician was believed to be hale and hearty before the performance.
However, if latest information emanating from congo is anything to go by, Papa Wemba might have been poisoned through the microphone he performed with during the show that saw his death.
There’s a video doing rounds on social media suggesting the assassination. The video which shows the before and after events following his collapsing on stage while performing in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire has sparked a lot of reactions from Papa Wemba fans, who believe he did not just collapse. Popular Ivorian entertainer DJ Arafat even claimed that he was sacrificed.
According to a video posted by one Kinshasa-makambo’s on Youtube, an unidentified man is seen taking away the official microphone assigned to the legendary singer and replacing it with another one. Immediately after Papa Wemba started singing, he fell and passed out.
After noticing that the singer had fallen, the gentleman came back, picked the microphone and left as if nothing happened.
Was the microphone laced with a form of inhalable poison? That's the question on the lips of fans who are calling on authority to investigate the matter.
