It would be recalled that the musician said he wanted money to clear his Rolls Royce from the port ahead his 29th birthday today.
Fans and followers thought the multi-award-winning songwriter was joking when he posted a video on his Instagram, calling on those he had helped in the music industry to send him Sh270,000 (N1 million).
To his surprise in a matter of hours, he received over Sh42 million. As they always say, If you want something, sometimes, all you need to do is ask.
