Jules Shungu Wembadio Pene Kikumba the man known as  Papa Wemba  died on Sunday, April 24 after collapsing while performing on stage. The singer died in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, where he participated in the Urban Music Festival Anoumabo concert.

The horrific video shows  the 66-year-old  artist slumped on the floor as dancers continue to perform, unaware of the disaster that had just struck.  His death was unexpected and it has raised a lot of  dust with a section  of his fans suggesting that the late  maestro might have been assassinated.

Others, insist that the singer might have been sacrificed to a cult. It is all very confusing.

Now, a new video has emerged to support the idea that Wemba might have been assassinated. The video shows an unknown man replacing a microphone moments before Wemba walks to the podium to perform.

Wemba performed the first song and the second, while performing  the third, he collapsed and was announced dead a few minutes later. Now, here comes the interesting part.

The same man who replaced the microphone when Wemba was about to perform comes back and takes the microphone away. The video has caused an online ruckus with a majority saying that the microphone might have been poisoned.

Watch the video below:

Papa Wemba will be remembered  for his hit songs such as Show Me The Way, Mwasi and Rail. He is credited for nurturing the current generation of Rhumba and Lingala musicians.

Papa Wemba has worked with bands like Zaiko Langa Langa, Isifi and Viva La Musica, he racked up hit after hit including L’Esclave and Le Voyageur, and worked with international stars like Peter Gabriel.

He appeared in two feature films, Life Is Beautiful (1987) and Wild Games (1997).

Papa Wemba was once jailed in Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo), for allegedly having an affair with a general’s daughter.

He was also arrested and convicted in 2004 in France after he was linked to a racket whereby illegal immigrants were taken to Europe posing as members of his band.

A Belgian court also  convicted him of the same crime in 2012, handing down a fine of 22,000 euros and a 15 month suspended prison sentence.
