Octopizzo has been embroiled in a saga that might threaten his career if things don’t go well for him. A Nairobi family has pointed an accusing finger at rapper Henry Ohanga, popularly known as Octopizzo, over their teenage son’s death on Saturday.
The family of 19-year-old Kenneth Abom suspects the rapper injured their son on the head during a scuffle at his house last week.
Complications from the injury might have led to the boy’s death, the parents suspect.
But speaking to KTN, the rapper denied the allegations, that he had contributed to Kenneth’s death.
Octopizzo isn’t the only celeb to have allegations of murder lobbed at him, below is a list of celebs who have suffered the same fate. They are:
Mark Wahlberg
The famous Hollywood star was charged with attempted murder when he was 16 years old. Wahlberg struck two Vietnamese men with various objects while yelling a racial epithet, leaving one man blind in one eye. He ultimately pled guilty to assault and served 45 days in prison.
Snoop Dogg
The star who loves weed like a fat baby loves cake has also faced his own legal issues. In 1993, he along with his bodyguard were charged with murder for the shooting death of Phillip Woldemariam, a rival gang member.
Snoop was finally acquitted of the charges in 1996.
Louis Otieno
The former host was once the most popular personality on television, in an illustrious career that would sadly end, ignominiously. Some might say it ended after he was accused of the murder of Careen Chepchumba.
Mr Otieno denied killing Ms Careen or ever having a romantic affair with her. He, however, admitted that she had been his friend.
So far, the former T.V personality is a free man with the police accused of bungling the case by former Kibera Resident magistrate Charles Ondiek.
O.J. Simpson
The former American football player tarnished a glorious sporting legacy when he was charged with the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend, Ronald Lyle Goldman. After a much-publicized trial, Simpson was found not guilty in 1995.
Oscar Pistorius
The South African Paralympian was sentenced to six years in prison for murdering his girlfriend, actress/model Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine’s Day in 2013. According to Pistorius, he mistook her of an intruder.
Jacque Maribe
The Citizen T.V presenter who is currently out on bail, has been mentioned as a suspect in the death of Monica Kimani. The murder is said to have taken place at the deceased’s Lamuria Court apartments. Joe Irungu, her ex is the prime suspect in the murder.
The case is still in court.
