Kenyanbased Burundian singer Kidum Kibido has disclosed some of his embarrassing moments while performing on stage.

Speaking in an interview with Daniel 'Churchill' Ndambuki, the prolific singer recalled a performance in Burundi where his trouser got torn while he was dancing.

"There's a day I was performing in Burundi and my trouser got torn. I was dancing and a man from the crowd came on stage making it look like he was giving me money and he told me my trouser was torn,' he said. 

Kidum also spoke of a woman who gave him her wedding ring moments before divorcing her husband

"Ladies, there's one who gave me her ring in Kigali, her wedding ring. She later announced on radio that she is divorcing her husband," he said. 

Kidum alsl opened up on an instance where he survived death after 17 of his friends were killed by the army.

The singer said he and his friends had planned to sneak into a girls' school and when the day came, he overslept and was left behind.

Unfortunately, the young men were later shot dead by the army on grounds that they were going to join the rebellion.

"We agreed we must go and visit the girls by sneaking from school although permission. We planned and when the day we had set for sneaking from school came I overslept and my friends keft withiut informing me. I got up in the morning and my friends had already left d I felt bad

"So while I was just going about my business in school, we received information that my friends had been killed. They went through a forest and an informer told the army that there were young men who were going to join a rebellion and the army waited for them inside the forest and they were all killed," he said. 

On travelling to Kenya, Kidum said he fled Burundi alongside his family in search of peace when skirmishes intensified in Burundi.

"I was given 60 dollars and I set off through Tanzania, I had swollen legs because of heavy luggage and slept outsidee in Dar Es Salaam. We tried to look for a church that would help us but it was unsuccessful but we got a Mosque where we were given pilau and given a place to sleep but we were instructed to get up very early because of the morning prayers. After sleeping outside for a while, I decided to go to the Burundi Embassy and that's where I got a ticket to bring me to Kenya," Kidum recalled.
