Ras Kimono Rest In Peace.

Reggae star, Ras Kimono, dies at 60. Ras Kimono combined activism with music... He used his talent to throw light on apartheid in SA and atrocities of the military regime in Nigeria.

Our dreadlock musician had slumped at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, while waiting to board a flight to the United States, on Saturday night.

According to sources close to him, Kimono was immediately rushed to an unnamed hospital in Ikeja and then taken to another hospital on Lagos Island where he later died on Sunday morning.

The death of the artiste, who was a native of Onicha Olona in the Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State and who recently clocked 60, was confirmed by the President of the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria, Pretty Okafor and the Chairman of the Copyright Society of Nigeria, Chief Tony Okoroji.

We believe & hope he's found peace.
