Do not be fooled by the flashy clothes and cars & women…..
According to rumours, the singer had rented a Toyota V8 (among the flashiest rides in Tanzania) from Kiumbe. The “Number One” singer has apparently failed to fully settle the car’s pending debt, after months of flossing and rolling with it causing Kiumbe to reclaim it.Diamond has been spotted without the car and his fans are waiting to see what he steps out with next.
Which made us want to make a list of Kenyan celebs who started from the bottom,and are back there
again:
1.Ruth Matete
For sometime now, rumour has it that Tusker Project Fame (TPF) 5 winner is broke after
lavishly spending the Ksh.5,000,000 she won at the end of the show.
However, Ruth has refuted these claims, stating that she went on holiday to Zanzibar with her
boyfriend, and furnished her house for quarter a million.
Ruth even went as far as explaining how she spent some of the cash.
Sh.980,000 – a car (Toyota Premio)
Sh. 500,000 – tithe to her Church (House of Grace)
Sh. 70, 000 – mobile handset (iPhone 4S)
Sh. 90,000 – bash for her friends and social media supporters and campaign
Broke or not, we are yet to see or hear any song that she has recorded.

If she is not broke, she could be fast headed to that direction.
2.Abbas Kubaff
The former K-South member has been rumoured to have gone broke, and living under the
care of a sugar mummy.
After performing shows worth as little as Ksh.2000, it is alleged that he ventured into an

4.Jimw@t
The young “Under 18” hit maker’s misery
began with his dalliance with the brown bottle.

involved in a serious road accident that happened

fter he fractured both legs, and his right arm,
and later had another operation for his left leg.
5.Cannibal
This flashy rapper almost got stuck in Dubai after a show he was to perform turned out to be a major
flop as he found he was the only fan in the
audience. The coast based rapper who relocated to Nairobi and formed an alliance with Prezzo had to plead for help to get a flight back to Kenya. This confirmed our fears that the artist is a hand to mouth celebrity.
6.CMB Prezzo
The lad is known to flaunt his wealth with abandon. What many don’t
know is that Prezzo is not as rich as he appears.
Controversial socialite confirmed this when she went all ballistic on
Prezzo calling him a broke mama’s boy.

alcoholic rapper has gone down the drain with no hit song to prove his lyrical prowess.

8.Kantai
American accented delivery coupled with his easy flowing rhymes made him a household name
in Kenya.He was once oneof the best rappers in Kenya and even traveled abroad for some shows.

Rongai Shopping Centre. Kantai is working on making a comeback.
9.Shaevy and Slice
The duo wowed us with the dancehall hit
single “Gyal” that is said to have topped
Jamaican charts! Their single received
enormous airplay but the two remained in
abject poverty.
Shaevy is rumored to be a matatu conductor
with the Kayole buses. He is also a regular beggar of weed and cigarettes in the streets from his
fellow lost brothers. Apparently he lives in squalor in Kayole under massive financial troubles.
Slice on the other hand is said to be hard on weed and a jobless in the street. More shocking is
that he sometimes goes insane as a result of drugs and he still lives in his parent’s home.
10. Hopekid
2013 Groove Award for ragga artist of the year Hopekid is struggling to pay bills in Kayole.
He is also rumoured to be notorious in conning churches and individuals around. Several
churches have complained for having being conned by Hopekid after sending him money

in Kayole known as Victors of Faith church in Kayole and a customer who sold clothes to
him only to vanish.

school after music frustrated him.
