Kelvin J. Dennis, commonly known as King Dennis, is a Liberian Kolaqu\u00e1 (local English) artist who came to the spotlight in 2023 with a viral freestyle that displayed the 26 letters of the alphabet. The artist, also known as \u201cTrouble Coming,\u201d is managed by Bilikon Entertainment.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, on June 10, 2025, The Midnight Blogs<\/a> took to Facebook claiming the artist was dead. According to the blog, the artist got involved in an accident that led to his sudden demise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
