Speaking to Milele FM’s @ankaliray, Mustafa opened up about his situation, explaining that he has taken up menial jobs to meet his financial obligations.

He explained that his mother’s medical bills have been a burden on the family and he is doing everything he can to raise funds to support her.

“I have been doing this job for over a year now. Things have been bad. My mother is sick. She is battling cancer and so I am looking for all possible ways to raise money just to boost her finances,” he said.

The rapper told the radio host that the video was not a music video as claimed, adding that he did not orchestrate the leak for attention.

He revealed how the leaked video affected his life: “After that information nimeshindwa hata kutembea, kwani huwezi jitafutia, sasa itakuwa aje? Na siko vizuri ivo, mambo ni ngumu bana. (After that information leaked, I couldn’t even walk around freely because you can’t face people. So, how will things be now? And I’m not doing well, things are tough, man)”.

Mustafa then revealed that he has been working on a project that he cannot talk about but has kept him busy for the past year.

In 2022, he revealed he suffered from depression after leaving the popular reality show ‘Nairobi Diaries’.

Mustapha said things have been tough, forcing him to disappear from social media for a while.
