Many people don’t understand what I was going through then- Shaffie comes clean on embarrassing Nax-Vegas incident

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Kiss FM radio host Shaffie Weru has opened up on an ugly incident that left him embarrassed during the Easter holiday in 2012.

Opening up for a second time since then, Shaffie said he was going through a lot during that time.

During the Easter weekend during the NaxVegas a drunk Shaffie was frog-matched away from the venue by bounces for causing a raucous.

Rumours stated that he was hitting on a chick who was accompanied by his boyfriend, and the boyfriend felt ‘insulted’ and so some confrontation began, and the bouncers came in and dragged him out of the venue.

Shaffie disclosed that he was at a bad place emotionally at the time of that event and would get himself super drunk to forget his issues with baby mama Joan.

“Many people don’t understand what I was going through then. But I know what I was going through then. At that time nilikuwa na beef mbaya sana na mama Nia 2 to 3 years in our relationship. There were rumours that she was cheating, I know people look at me and think I can’t get played, I get played. I was living with her and I have given my all. I had just split from Debbie Asila and had gotten myself in this situation. The grass is not always greener on the other side, it was semi-arid. Things were not going right, we were not feeling each other, and there was a lot of pressure. She was way younger than me, she did what she did and I did what I did,” Shaffie said on the Chipukeezy Show.

He added that he turned to drinking to easy the pain.

“I threw myself into partying because out there, there was acceptance, I was hiding my grief and everything. I was going through a lot and I fell into alcohol and other stuff it was crazy bro,” Shaffie explained.

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Radio presenter Shaffie Weru has opened up about getting a baby at a rather young age. In an interview with Parents Magazine, Weru, who had his firstborn with singer Debbie Asila when only 23 years, had to speed up the maturity process when his daughter was born.

“I was 23, scared, confused and overwhelmed. I wanted to retreat. All that changed however when I held Milan. The partying had to stop, especially the first year. Not that I was sleeping, to begin with. Now I was just not sleeping, but because of different circumstances,” He told Parents Magazine.

Wasn’t easy

The father of three went on do add that Asila, after giving birth, suffered from post-partum depression for close to a month.

“Debbie also suffered from post-partum depression for about a month. She was depressed, didn’t want to eat or go out. I didn’t know what was going on and didn’t understand what she was going through. It helped that our moms were there,” he said. “When Nia came along, I was ready, in every sense of the word,”  he said.

Here is how young girls get pimped to old wazees according to radio presenter Shaffie

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Cases of jobless girls living an expensive lifestyle has left many with questions where they get their money from but according to Kiss FM radio presenter Shaffie Weru, young boys are the ones connecting these girls to sponsors who then fund their lifestyle.

“Last weekend, the hashtag #IfikieWazazi shocked many, but the truth is, this trend was started by the pornographers – Instagram Photographers. They are known for taking advantage of children on Instagram in guise of making them famous or models.

“We have young photographers who have opened pages online that focus on pimping young girls and boys to sponsors. Most of them never tell the naive kids that they are being pimped out, they take the photos in the name of art and at a chance of being discovered as a model.” said Shaffie on his weekly column on the Star Newspaper.

Commission for every lady

Shaffie also said that young boys go on to get a commission of between Ksh 2000 and Ksh 1000 for every girl they bring. They tell them they are taking them for photo shoots but lead them to sponsors and brothels.

 “To reward the unsuspecting teenagers, the spotters can offer the girls airtime and some little cash to turn up for the shoots. Impressed, the victims fall for the trap. The spotters are usually paid on commissions like 2k (Sh2,000) per girl or 1K (Sh1,000), or more depending on how hot the girl is or how impressive her physical features are,” said Shaffie
