Loyalty test videos are becoming more popular among young people, especially in tertiary institutions. Even though netizens are divided on the legitimacy of the videos, the doldrums of the aftermath of parties involved remain evident.

Instagram model and YouTuber Thee Pluto has made the loyalty tests even more popular; and most young people are now in tow and see the idea to be intriguing.

Pluto has been moving around universities to do the tests; most of which end up being nasty.

Explaining Loyalty Test

For those new to loyalty tests, it’s all about couples exchanging their phones on set; where their texts are then scrutinized to find any explicit text messages that might insinuate cheating with the opposite s*x. Nasty f****s then elicit if either party is found guilty.

VDJ Jones Against Loyalty Tests

Celebrated disc jockey VDJ Jones has now shared his sentiments over the latter, stating that the trend might lead to people killing each other.

”Naona very soon watu watauwana. Hii story ya hawa wasee wa loyalty test. Hawa watu wanafanya ma loyalty tests. kindly achaneni na izi vitu… Naona kila msee anazifanya. Ni ufala, ni upuzi. If you want a loyalty test, do it with your girlfriend. You’ll kill people in the name of loyalty tests. Na wakati watu watauwana, whoever recorded that clip ndio atashikwa.”

Even though the parties involved amicably agree to do the tests, there should definitely be some restrictions to limit rogue participants.

James Achido Onyango alias VDJ Jones is without a doubt one of the top deejays and music video directors in Kenya.

Starting from the bottom and rising to become one of the biggest names in the industry, VDJ Jones has had his fair share of struggle and is not ashamed to relive the moments.

Reminiscing about his campus life in Multimedia University, the DJ states that his classmates were not talking to him because he was a broke nobody;

”Only God knows our futures. Usijichoche sana ukidhani ni uwezo wako, always be grateful for every step in life.
This is 7 years back at Multimedia University. Back then hata kuna watu hawangenibongesha daro juu I was a broke nobody. ????????Lakini Sahii wanashinda “bro”

He graduated from multimedia university with a degree in journalism. His passion for music elevated him to the top.

”My first DJ set nilipata in 2010 after kumaliza Form Four; my dad ndio alinibuyia my first set. The same person mwenye hakuwa anataka ni DJ, alinibuyia headphones and a hard disc as a present. Alikuwa amenichallenge nikipass exams nitapata the set…”

The DJ is currently one of Gengetone’s biggest proteges. He has also featured in several hit songs of the genre.

Remember the time when the only music genre everyone was jamming to was Gengetone music? The time when we almost forgot about all the other genres and shifted our attention to gengetone groups that were taking the industry by storm?

Well, no one knew that all the excitement would be short-lived. Recent discussions have involved the relevance of the genre’s survival; and whether it will pick or not. Some groups saw their members detached; such as Ochungulo Family and Sailors.

The genre has also been criticized by artists such as Willy Paul; who seem to marvel at the downfall of it.

 ”I just killed gengetone with my deadly skills!! No one could have done it better! Alafu please kama wewe ni singer na unajaribu kurap, please rap wacha umama.. this album is going to discipline alot people trust me…”

VDJ Jones Speaks

One of gengetone’s biggest supporters, VDJ Jones has also noted the downfall of the genre. And according to him, most gengetone groups started competing with each other and lost focus; leading to the massive drop in the genre’s performance. He disclosed this on Mungai Eve’s YouTube;

”Wasanii wengi wa gengetone fame ilikuja. Kuna wale wali react differently. Watu wakaanza kushindana… Hiyo ndio kitu iliua mziki yetu. Because watu walianza ku compete wenyewe kwa wenyewe…”

Despite the claims; one of the pioneer groups of the music genre, Ethic, strongly rebuke claims that their music is ‘dead’. They maintain that they’re just on a break and will be back with more bangers.

Celebrated disc Jockey VDJ Jones has taken to Instagram to shut down upcoming artists who want his help for free. The entertainer has disclosed that he receives numerous messages containing links with music; but doesn’t get paid in return.

According to VDJ Jones, it’s not fair to pay the video directors and everyone else involved in making the music, then asking for his help afterwards for free.

Support My Hustle Too!

VDJ Jones captioned a video making his claims and wrote;

”Good MORNING!
I am going to speak on behalf of other DJs who share same sentiments like I do. Msanii umeenda studio ukalipa pesa ya audio, ukalipa video.. then unatumia DJ link uchezwe FREE.
We also got bills to pay, appreciate kazi ya distributors wa your music..a little token doesn’t kill u. We do the donkey work huko kwa matope kupush the music. Ukishahit sasa hata simu za DJs u dont pick. Fagaaa????
Can someone kill that cock kwa background? ????????????????????????????
Ukijiskia umejam, Mi Siogopiii
#genjenimbaya”

In addition to this, VDJ Jones said that he’ll only support the music that is recorded from his studio.

”Support my hustle too, mimi si charity… Pesa muhimu…At mimi niko na chakula nafaa kukula”
