Alarm after former Tusker Project Fame star is spotted languishing in poverty on the streets of Nairobi (Photos)

It is a sad state of affairs after a former Tusker Project Fame star was spotted living on the empty, cold streets of Nairobi, with nothing much to show of his fame.

Allow me to take you back in time to around 2009 when one David Major Ogola aka D Major released his album A Love Story following his major win at TPF.

He was later scheduled to perform at different concerts and festivals with different organizers and not much of him was heard after that.

His current state

More than a decade later, his name rings a bell among Kenyans after photos of him, looking deserted and in an unkempt state, surfaced online.

But what became of him is the big question no one has an answer to. A poor state of the former music star that has raised concern among netizens, questioning the infamous TPF judge Ian.

Sources further indicate that the artist is one individual who is occasionally spotted along Mirema drive, in Thika.

“The smart judge Ian should tell us what he thinks about his students. Why are they mostly drug addicts and zombies?” Kenyans ask.

“Ian Mbugua has really smart theories on how to contain COVID-19 and defeat BBI. Please show us one successful TPF contestant. Tell us bro,” blogger Robert Alai hit back at the judge.

A state of affairs that has left a dark cloud hovering above and a harsh reality among netizens who wonder what more was in store for these contestants?

The question remains; “Just what did not go right?”

Here are more photos of the former TPF star:

Please return the Kes 5 million you won! Ruth Matete expresses regret for participating in Tusker Project Fame

Will she return the Kes 5 million she won? This is the question many people are asking now that Ruth Matete regrets taking part in Tusker Project Fame.

Ruth was the winner of Tusker Project Fame 5 which was held way back in 2012. She walked away with a whopping Kes 5 million for winning the East African reality-singing competition.

Speaking during an interview with Massawe Japanni on Radio Jambo, Ruth said that she only joined the competition because of financial difficulties.

“Around that time, I was so stressed and I had financial difficulties,” said Ruth.

Adding that;

“At that time, one of my friends advised me to try Tusker Project Fame. I hesitated but finally ended up going because of the frustrations of life, without even thinking about my salvation life.”

Not a good gesture

Ruth further says that participating in Tusker Project Fame was not a good gesture for her as a Christian. She acknowledges that she wronged God.

“It was not a good gesture as a Christian. Even then, I knew I was wrong, but because in life we have ups and downs, no one should lie to you that after salvation everything is fine. I had moved out of my father’s house, although I was still in school. It was not easy and my dad is a very strict dad, who would only give me a small amount of money, unlike what I expected.”
