It has been over a year since veteran Kenyan rapper and Necessary Noize member, Nazizi Harji, suffered the heartbreaking loss of her three-year-old son, Jazeel. Despite the passage of time, the pain remains fresh, and she often expresses that nothing can ever fill the void left by his absence.
Recently, in a deeply emotional tribute, Nazizi shared a never-before-seen video of her late son playing joyfully in the rain alongside his older brother.

Captioning the touching video, Nazizi wrote, “Memories of Jaz that I would love to share. This was just two days before my @jazeeladam passed away.” She went on to describe how she and her family had allowed him to play in the rain for the first time due to the hot and humid weather in Dar es Salaam. The experience brought Jazeel immense joy, leaving an indelible mark on his mother’s memory.
“If I tell you the last 10 days of my baby’s life were magical, would you believe me? So here we allowed him for the first time to play in the rain because Dar was super hot and humid… he couldn’t believe it. Jah know this is one of the moments that keep replaying in my head,” she wrote.
The rapper concluded her heartfelt message with an expression of her enduring grief, stating, “I miss you, Jiji. Mama can’t take it….”
Nazizi’s tribute resonated deeply with fans and fellow artists, who flooded the comments with messages of love, support, and prayers. The pain of losing a child is unimaginable, but by sharing these special moments, Nazizi continues to keep Jazeel’s memory alive in the hearts of many.
