Kenyan musician and rapper Colonel Mustafa has shared on why his clothes and sneakers shop remains closed despite Kenyans raising money for him to open the business.
The whereabouts of rapper Mustafa emerged after fans realised the shop was not operational despite the musician appealing for help to open a business.
In an interview with Mungai Eve, the rapper explained the situation at hand denying claims that the shop which is located in chokaa had been permanently closed down.
"Shop kweli imekuwa ikifungwa lakini si ati tumefunga shop mambo yamekuwa mengi sana. Bado nilikuwa nashughulika na mama tulikuwa tunangoja baada hio radio therapy tufanye pediscan. Hicho ndicho kitu kimekuwa kikinifanya nisipatikane sana kazini pale kwenye shop. Apart from that mambo ya music na pia nimekuwa na shows nyingi nafanya na sijapata mtu mwenye naweza mueka pale mwenye naamini kabisa anaezaniendeleshea kazi mpka mimi mwenyewe nirudi."
Speaking about his ailing mother, Mustafa said that his mother’s cancer recovery journey was going on well and she is currently doing exercises to regain her physical strength. As a care giver, he has also been trained on how to handle the cancer patient.
Mustafa experienced a drastic shift in his life trajectory, catching the attention of the public when a video of him working at a construction site went viral.
Mustafa, who has been away for a lengthy period of time, was videotaped carrying construction bricks. He was working in Donholm construction on a week-long contract trying to pay medical bills for his mum.
After the video went viral, he did several interviews where he asked for support from well-wishers in order to care for his mother. He said that he needed a job or capital to establish a business so that he can put food on the table and pay a few expenses.
A group of well-wishers led by Fauz Khalid had contributed approximately Sh600,000 for the rapper. Jaguar and his friends also raised over Ksh 1 Million for the rapper.
