Kenyan uprising arbantone artist Tipsy Gee is commonly known for his collaborative viral song ‘TikToker’ and his very own sound track, ‘Taki Nataki’, has openly revealed the reason that made him drop out of school.

The young, talented artist said that his decision to drop out of school comes after he went live on the TikTok app and realized that he can actually generate up to 30,000 ksh on a single day.

“Nimeingia TikTok naona per day naeza make 20K, 30K, hii ni dooh inanisuprise, sasa mimi nikaconcetrate on TikTok, juu niliona hii TikTok naeza make dooh, nikaona kidogo hii chef inataka kuwaste time yangu…inataka kuwaste pesa ya mzazi na huku naona dooh inangia poa,

Nikaanza kumiss classes polepole, vile semister iliisha nikaamua sirudi hiyo shule.” Tipsy Gee said.

Having seen how much he was making from TikTok, he made a proposal to his mother, telling her that she allows him to try venture into the entertainment industry and see how it will turn out, accepting to go back to school if he fails in the entertainment industry.

“Niliambia mum, si ulioniona kwa TV? Mimi nimekua searious na hii kitu, masomo kidogo wacha tujaribu hii ingine, ikikataa niko ready kurudi shule.” Tipsy Gee shared.
