“Some put kakitu in envelope even Mpesa” DJ Mo opens up about bribes he received

DJ Mo says he has received unsolicited bribes multiple times in his line of work. The father of one reveals that most upcoming artists offer him bribes to get airplay.

The culture of ‘toa kitu kidogo’ is deeply engrained in all spheres of the Kenyan economy. Desperate musicians also offer bribes to DJs to get airplay.

DJ Mo has opened up about the bribes he has received to play musicians’ songs. The gospel DJ however asserts that he has always returned the bribes sent or given to him.

I don’t charge for airplay

DJ Mo cautions upcoming artists from offering bribes to get airplay. The mix master reveals that in most occasions it’s underground musicians who offer bribes.

“Dear artistes and especially upcoming artistes Dj Mo doesn’t charge for airplay – let no one collect money from you in the name of “he knows or he can connect you to DJ MO – so many conmen out there – be careful,” wrote DJ Mo in part.

Mo goes on to say that he doesn’t charge artists for airplay. He explains he supports talents and that he freely gives upcoming artists a platform to shine.

“Those who know me I support any talent and I believe in giving everyone (talented) a platform , so not even money will make me change that – some have put Kakitu in an envelope even Mpesa and I have refunded – It’s a platform for God and so for all – I DON’T charge for airplay.”
