DJ Fatxo bags Mugithi artist of the year award

Controversial Mugithi artist, DJ Fatxo, has been awarded the Mugithi Artist of the Year Award at the e360 awards despite the ongoing murder case of Jeff Mwathi, which occurred in his apartment.

The artist was announced as the winner of the coveted title through e360's Instagram. However, most of the comments being posted are negative compared to the feedback given to other winners by Kenyans.

"Congrats DJ Fatxo for winning Male Mugithi Artist of The Year East Africa in e360 Awards 4th edition 2022/23," read the e360 statement.

The artist, however, has reacted after winning the award, with his last post on Instagram dating back to March 11th.

In that post, he requested media reporters to attend his press conference to address the circumstances surrounding the death of Jeff Mwathi.

DJ Fatxo, on his part, extended his condolences to the family of the late Mwathi after his demise.

He confirmed that he reported to the police that Jeff was missing since the 23-year-old was in his house.
