As much as death is inevitable to all of us, talking about our impending demise and even funeral plans is not only creepy but has always been considered taboo in the African culture.
However, that did not stop Tanzanian songstress Lady Jaydee who caused quite a stir among her fans on social media by posting photos of coffins.
Through Instagram, the Yahaya hitmaker revealed which of the two coffins she would prefer to be buried in. She went on to declare that she would like her funeral to be an invite only affair and her casket should remain closed.
She captioned: “I’ve changed my mind Sitaki tena lile la purple Moja kati ya hayo hapo juu #MsiMind#KilaMtuAtakufa #Msiogope Nilikuwa nafikiria pia iwe invitees only #SitakiKufunuliwa”
We have sampled some of the reactions from her fans:
