- Faxto pierced his ears after Jeff Mwathis’ death.
- Various people have stereotyped him as being gay.
Mugithi artist DJ Fatxo has opened up about why he got his ears pierced, despite the stereotype that men who have their ears pierced are gay.
In an interview with Obinna on his Kula Cooler show, Fatxo said that he had never gotten a tattoo or had his ears pierced before being known for his involvement in Jeff Mwathi’s death a few months ago.
“For us, if you draw a tattoo, it is a very big thing. For us, if you get your ears pierced, it’s a big deal,” Fatxo said. “I lived to protect myself all this time. In our country, I used to hear that people with pierced ears are gay.”

Fatxo said that he was afraid of being labelled as gay, so he decided to avoid getting his ears pierced. However, after Jeff’s death, he was accused of being involved in the young man’s death, and he was even rumoured to be gay.
“I lived trying to save myself from all this, and then you call me something that I have never been in my life, I pierced my ears, to tell the truth,” Fatxo said.
The artist added that he is not gay and has never been involved in homosexuality. He said that he is dating a beautiful woman and has been with her for two years.
“Look at me carefully, do I look gay? I’m not gay,” Fatxo said. “I would like those who say that to name one person that I have ever seduced. I’m not gay and I can’t be gay… I have a very beautiful girlfriend and we’ve been dating for the second year.”
