NAIROBI — Content creator Andy Deh, son of the late reggae entertainer MC Fullstop, has appealed for financial and personal support while hospitalised with serious complications affecting his pancreas and intestines, weeks after drawing widespread criticism for linking media personality Natalie Githinji’s endometriosis to the use of family planning pills.
Deh shared updates from his hospital bed on October 17, 2026, revealing that he had gone three days without eating. He said doctors inserted a tube to drain fluid from his intestines that was preventing digestion, and that his pancreas had begun to deteriorate. In one post he wrote: “We are responsible for most of the things that happen to us in life. Hapa vile unaniona, not a single meal was had for 3 days. Wameingiza pipe hadi kwa tumbo tu retrieve some fluid in my intestines that was stopping food from digestion. Pancreas nayo ilikuwa imeanza kuoza. Hii room wamenifungia till further notice.” He separately called out to friends and family for support and later went live on TikTok appealing for help to clear a reported KSh 50,000 hospital bill.
The hospitalisation has reignited debate online because of Deh’s comments in late August 2026 on the Chizi Podcast. During a discussion about Githinji’s stage 4 endometriosis, he claimed the condition could be linked to the misuse of emergency contraceptive pills (commonly known as P2) and family planning methods. The remarks were widely condemned as medically baseless and insensitive. Comedian Eric Omondi publicly criticised him, and Lioness Empire Studios later cut ties with Deh over the comments. Githinji, who has been open about her long battle with the disease, has undergone surgery and appealed for support for treatment costs.
Reactions to Deh’s current health scare have been sharply divided. While some have wished him a quick recovery, many others have referenced his earlier statements, describing the situation as ironic or as “karma.” Deh has previously attributed his condition in part to a period of heavy partying and alcohol consumption, according to further accounts he shared.
The episode has once again highlighted tensions around public commentary on women’s health issues in Kenya, particularly endometriosis, which remains poorly understood by many and carries a significant financial burden for patients.
