Brian Chira’s grandfather, George Njigi Wamai, has finally spoken out three weeks after the sudden passing of the late TikTok content creator.
Reflecting on his late grandson’s early life, George noted that there wasn’t a significant change after Chira’s mother passed away, as the family ensured he was well taken care of.
According to George, Chira underwent noticeable changes after he joined campus, being far away from home.
“Life didn’t change much for him after his mum’s death. Fees were paid, and he was taken to school, except when he had to study far from home. He was a good boy,” Chira’s grandfather stated during an interview with Presenter Ali.
He further mentioned that his late grandson had ambitious dreams, expressing, “He wanted to be a leader. Chira dreamt of owning a broadcasting station.”
However, challenges arose when money became scarce, and his aunt stepped in to support him through secondary school and university. Sadly, she passed away while he was still pursuing his education, marking the beginning of difficulties for Brian Chira.
“He relied heavily on her. He wasn’t okay. That’s where depression started. He felt like the world had ended. But his grandmother tried her best,” George candidly recalled.
Describing his late grandson’s character, George praised Brian Chira, stating, “He was obedient, disciplined, and hardworking, with a great love for school and education. Even as a young boy, when he visited, he’d help around the compound. He was loved by many because whenever he was sent somewhere, he’d go without any fuss or delay.”
Regarding Chira’s sexual orientation, his grandfather denied rumors of him being gay, mentioning that although he saw the allegations online, Chira never discussed his orientation with him.
“We knew him as a quiet person. He was soft-spoken, and we wished he would speak more. He wasn’t loud, and we knew him as a good boy. We were surprised to hear about his drinking problem. He was intelligent. Regarding him being gay, I’ve never heard anything about it, not even from Brian himself. What I heard from him were aspirations like wanting to be a reader, economist, or starting his broadcasting center, but such claims were never brought up,”
Expressed Chira’s grandfather.
