In an emotional interview, she shared her struggles as a mother and her fallout with both her management and D-Star, which have contributed to her current predicament.

Rise to Fame

Shifura became a household name after her mesmerizing performance in Hoozambe went viral. The video’s iconic moment, where she sat on D-Star’s lap during a dance challenge, cemented her status as a fan favorite. Her beauty and charisma made her one of the most recognizable faces in the Kenyan music scene.

Challenges After Success

However, her journey has not been smooth. After parting ways with her management over claims of exploitation, Shifura found herself grappling with financial instability. “I am stressed because of my child, stressed because of rent,” she shared, emphasizing the toll her struggles have taken on her.

Her professional relationship with D-Star also ended on a sour note. In July, Shifura announced her decision to pursue a solo music career. Meanwhile, D-Star clarified he had no plans to include her in future projects, citing a need for diversity in his videos.

Fallout with D-Star

The fallout became more apparent when Shifura was excluded from D-Star’s Kenyan music tour. D-Star defended his decision, stating it was unnecessary for artists to travel with their video vixens. Shifura, however, expressed disappointment on TikTok, promising to organize her own music tour in response.

Despite these setbacks, Shifura remains focused on carving her own path in the music industry. She continues to appeal for support, both emotionally and financially, as she rebuilds her career.

Shifura’s story is a testament to the highs and lows of the entertainment industry. While her rise to fame was swift, her struggles serve as a reminder of the challenges many artists face behind the scenes. With her determination and talent, Shifura hopes to overcome these obstacles and redefine her journey in Kenyan music.
