Benga queen Lillian Auma well known as Princess Jully is dead.
The Dunia Mbaya hit song singer died on Saturday after a short illness.
The 51-year-old songbird had been admitted at the Migori County Referral Hospital where she was receiving treatment for the last two months.
One of her sons Bradley Ogudah said she had gone into comma but had showed signs of improving in early August.
“She is dead. She has been sick for two months,” Mr Ogudah said.
Princess Jully rose to fame when she sang her hit song ‘Dunia Mbaya’ which was inspired by how she saw her friends die, owing to the lifestyle they lived.
The song bird who was married as a third wife to the late Jully Okumu (Prince Jully) also produced Malo Malo and Akuru among other songs.
The queen of Benga who is fondly referred to as Alili Nyagina had been out of the music scene for quite some time but rejoined the music world in 2020 as she could no longer hold herself and see her talent run to waste.
