Ngesh, the Kaveve Kazoze hitmaker, has caused an uproar online after she released a video of herself returning to the village to make ends meet.
This comes after Ngesh and the team revealed that they were broke and unable to pay their bills due to financial instability. The crew reported that well-known politicians such as Mike Sonko and Karen Nyamu made them false promises that have yet to be fulfilled.
Having been recognised and having their song receive over 4.2 million views on YouTube, they claim they have yet to make a single penny. They have also not received any performances or brand partnerships, which has contributed to their financial difficulties despite their celebrity.
According to the video, Ngesh Kaveve Kazoze has finally returned to Nyandarua, her matrimonial home, to hustle and possibly reset and renew her thoughts. The musician is seen in the video washing clothes while saying the famous “Mwalimu wa math” slogan.
“Enyewe Mwalimu wa maths alisema sitaenda mbali,” Nagesh is heard saying as she cleans her garments. The singer has relocated back upcountry; if all goes well, she may return to Nairobi in the near future.
Even though most musicians are receiving job offers during this holiday season, things do not appear to be going well for Ngesh.
Despite this, she has remained relevant by composing songs but not securing gigs, which pushed her to simply return to the rural.
