"I don’t ask my kids uko wapi uko nani (their whereabouts), they know when to come home and what they should do.
Actually we are throwing a bash for my 19 year old girl. I’m gonna party with them with my girls at PataPata that night. We are gonna turn up! Because after 18 you are allowed to do what you want right? I want to be the first person to buy them those expensive drinks so that a man cannot come and short change them for me because they know we can afford it right?
I just teach them well." She said.

" I’m blessed with good genes. Secondly I’m not a lazy person. I’m always running around because I’ve tasted poverty and I've tasted money. Being broke isn’t funny, having money is fun. I’m busy chasing money 24/7 I’ve no time for fat to settle. " She said after twirling for the audience.

On her song ‘Benefactor’. Is it encouraging girls to date sponsors/blessers/benefactors/sugar daddies?
“ I ’m not encouraging them because it is already happening, I’m teaching them not to settle for less.” She said amid cheers.
“It is happening. Larry listen when the man the age of my father buys me a handbag worth 500,000 Khs he is giving me popcorn so that I can come tomorrow and again. But he knows when he buys me land, I will build a house and I will not need him anymore.
Don’t settle for Instagram photos, we are tired of seeing your hotel room, show me your kitchen.” She said in regards to how ladies think being in a 5 star hotel room waiting for their sponsor is worth flaunting while in actual fact having their own home is worth much more.
