As the flight cruised high above the clouds, Gidi was pleasantly surprised by the Kenya Airways crew, who orchestrated a heartfelt birthday celebration. The flight attendants took to their task with enthusiasm, serenading Gidi with a joyful rendition of the “Happy Birthday” song. The highlight of the celebration was a specially prepared glass of drink, presented to Gidi as a toast to his special day.

The birthday celebration was further highlighted by a heartfelt message from Gidi’s radio co-host, Ghost Mulee. Known for their dynamic partnership on “Gidi na Ghost Asubuhi,” Ghost Mulee took to Instagram to commemorate Gidi’s special day with a heartfelt tribute. His message not only celebrated Gidi’s milestone but also reminisced about Gidi’s contribution to the Kenyan music scene.
