Kenyan popular Kisii artist Embarambamba, known for pulling funny crazy stunts when releasing and performing his music, has opened up about why he does what he does.
Speaking in an interview with Obinna, he opened up, saying that what he does is basically to get attention from the public so that they can stream his music as well as find a way to end the poverty that he testified to having been in.
The ‘Bend this way’ hit maker shared that there was a time the Ministry of Film Dr. Ezekiel summoned doctors to go and check if the gospel artist was in his right senses after witnessing what he has been doing, and they thought he could be battling with something. Although their assumptions ended up being wrong, after conducting a test on the individual, they realized he was all straight-up, concluding that the only thing that was troubling him was poverty. He was struggling hard to make a living for himself and his family.
“Huyo Ezekiel alituma madaktari mpaka kwangu akasema enda mchunguze huyu mtu kama akili yake ni mzuri.
Walikuja kuchunguza kama niko normal ama kama kuna kitu imeharibika mahali. Hapo sasa ndio walipata mimi niko normal ni mtu ako na familia yake ni ile waligundua kitu peke yake kiko kwa Embarambamba ni umaskini. Ndio maana anafanya hivo alafu hapo kwa gazeti akaandika embarambamba is normal ni ile tuh analilia serikali imsaidie kwa sababu ya umaskini.” Embarambamba said.
The father of five also shared that when he first decided to introduce his crazy stunts, he was invited to help with a fundraising event when he accidentally slid into the mud and realized people loved it; hence, he decided to do that always.
