The Ndovu Ni Kuu hitmaker explained that during the eight years, he constantly moved schools to live with either of his parents.

He noted that in Kikuyu culture, dowry is very significant and his father felt the pressure to fulfil cultural obligations.
On his part, Mwafreeka noted that in many cultures dowry is an obligation, giving an example of his brother who passed away before he had completed paying his wife’s bride price.
“One of my elder brothers married from the Luhya community but rested before paying in full. We had to pay for them to be allowed to attend the funeral,” he narrated.
