He was inaugurated following the death of King Tati Ier in Diosso, and during his rule, he built a new royal palace in the city, called the Limani-Li-Bwali Diosso, located next to the Musée régional Mâ-Loango.[2]

King Makosso died on 23 December 2020 in Rabat following a long illness.[3] He was 76.
