Jay Polly's brother: 'I will remember him through his heart'
One of Rwanda's most famous rappers, Jay Polly, has died at the age of 33 in a hospital in Kigali. The artist was in jail awaiting trial on drug charges, and was rushed to hospital early on Thursday. In a statement, the Rwanda Correctional Service, which is in charge of prisons, said the musician had consumed a mixture of methanol disinfectant, sugar and water before he was rushed to hospital. Jay Polly was arrested at his home in April after holding a party in violation of coronavirus rules. His brother Uwera Jean Maurice has been telling Audrey Brown about his music and what he was like.
