Kiprich, Kizzy’s Premature Baby, Miracle, Has Died
Dancehall artists Kiprich and Kizzy Don are in mourning after their newborn, Miracle, died this morning at 7, reportedly of cardiac arrest. Baby Miracle was pronounced dead at a hospital in Barranquilla, Colombia.
“I saw her yesterday and Miracle was good. She hold my finger good and mi touch and she squeeze it. They changed her medications and tubes yesterday, and the hospital said come this morning, but we started getting calls from six this morning. But when we reach the ward where the baby was being treated, we were told by the doctors and nurses that she had transitioned,” a distraught Kiprich said.
When DancehallMag contacted Kiprich via FaceTime, Kizzy Don was seen wailing in the background.
“Mi caan tek it, mi baby dead,” she wailed, while lying on the ground as they were comforted by nurses.
On Tuesday, the baby was transported from San Andreas, an island off the coast of Colombia, to another hospital in Barranquilla, a major city in the country.
Kiprich is upset that members of the public have directed vitriolic comments and negativity towards Kizzy Don.
“The funding never forwarded for Miracle to move to the USA, this happen so suddenly, why so much people ah put bad mouth on the baby? Why so much negativity and say don’t help them…dem do everything to pressure Kizzy brain, and dem know say ah lie dem tell pon the girl say she use Tik Tok money to do her body,” he said.
The couple’s baby was born prematurely while they were in Colombia for a work trip and she has been in intensive care since.
In a video shared to social media earlier this week, Kiprich had showed clips of the baby being transported by medical personnel via an ambulance and an aircraft.
“They never had any space in Bogota to accept her so they searched around and found one in Barranquilla and this is a better, and bigger hospital with better care. They have her on five days’ worth of antibiotics because she had an infection,” Kiprich told DancehallMag yesterday.
“Miracle is doing fine but when your lungs so small and your organs are so small, it is easy to get an infection She is receiving the medicine well and from day one, her heart was good, so Miracle a gwaan good.”
Kiprich thanked everyone for all the support via a post online.
“You are worthy, give thanks for all support coming in, keep the prayers up for baby Miracle,” the entertainer wrote in a caption accompanying the video.
Support for the couple flooded the comments of the video with followers sharing well-wishes and prayers for the baby.
The unexpected arrival of Miracle has left Kiprich and his fiance Kizzy Don facing mounting medical bills in a foreign country, with a fundraising target set at US$250,000.
Fellow dancehall artiste Spice stepped up for the Telephone Ting artist with a US$5,000 donation. British-Jamaican rapper Stefflon Don has also made a “substantial US$10,000 donation” to the cause, while D’Angel has been using her own social media platforms to rally her followers to contribute.
The GoFundMe campaign had raised more than US$27,000 of the US$250,000 target.
