Published on July 17, 2020, gospel artist Size 8, also known as Mama Wambo, has had a harrowing journey with her health. She has faced numerous challenges, including fibroids, convulsions that left her partially paralyzed, high blood pressure, and mini-strokes.
Despite these struggles, Size 8 remains grateful for her life and has chosen a song she would like to listen to on her deathbed. In a recent interview, she revealed that if she were to die, she would want to listen to Judy K's song 'Idinma.'
Size 8's health issues began when she was diagnosed with fibroids while pregnant with her son, Muraya jnr. She shared her experience on her YouTube channel, describing the shock and devastation she felt upon learning of her condition.
She recalled, 'SO I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL AND WONDERED KWANI I WAS HAVING A MISCARRIAGE, AFTER SOME TESTS THEY FOUND OUT THAT I HAD FIBROIDS. I WAS VERY DEVASTATED. HOWEVER DR THUO TOLD ME THAT THE FIBROIDS WOULD ONLY CAUSE SOME CONTRACTIONS BUT THEY WOULD NOT AFFECT THE BABY.'
Size 8's health continued to deteriorate, with her blood pressure rising, dizziness, headaches, and convulsions. She also experienced minor strokes, where her left side was completely paralyzed.
Reflecting on her experience, Size 8 said, 'FOR ME THIS PREGNANCY GETTING to HER (LAST TRIMESTER) IS A MIRACLE. I’VE ALMOST DIED SEVERAL TIMES. IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU HAVE BILLIONS OF MONEY..YOU DON’T HAVE LIFE. YOU CAN’T ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE.'
Below is a video of the song Size 8 would love played on her deathbed.
