During his Saturday night performance, Kativui seemed to struggle with his guitar at times, leading to what some fans described as an “unelectrifying” performance.
His voice also seemed to fail him and concerns about his health surfaced as he appeared off and not his usual energetic self. Some fans even claimed the ‘vaa mbee’ hitmaker had also lost some weight.

Receive healing so that you come back to your good health and performance. Any obstacle against your talent and your health is decomposed and overpowered in Jesus name.”
“From the look of things Kativui is not feeling well so whoever is yelling here ajue sisi wote Tuko na miili and everyone has their lowest moments,” wrote Sir-kofficial.
“I’ve been a fan of Kativui for years, and while his performance may not have been his best, I still appreciate his music and wish him the best,” Another fan added.
