Meschu says that he got extremely fat and the weight posed a threat to his own life. The singer reveals that he was forced to take action after he hit 184kg.

“Ni kweli nipo kimya kwa maana kwenye gemu kwa sasa ninanusa nusa tu tofauti na ilivyokuwa zamani. Nafanya hivi kwa sababu sasa ninahudumia afya yangu. Unajua nilikuwa nimejiachia sana kiasi kwamba nikawa nimefikisha uzito wa kilo 184 jambo ambalo lilikuwa ni hatari sana kwangu,” said Peter Msechu.

Msechu says he went to be checked at the hospital because he regularly experienced shortness of breath. Doctors told him he could die anytime because he was overweight.

“Niliamua kwenda hospitali kwa ajili ya kufanya vipimo. Baada ya kufanyiwa uchunguzi niliambiwa tatizo ni uzito maana nina kilo nyingi pamoja na mafuta ambayo ilikuwa imefika hatua yamezunguka moyo. Nikaambiwa kwa hali ilivyokuwa inakwenda, muda wowote ningezimika tu ghafla kama nisipochukua jitihada za dhati za kupunguza mafuta,” Msechu narrated.

The Bongo singer is now on a mission to shed 104 kilos, so far he has managed to lose 20kg over a period of five months. Doctors advised him to get to 80kg to live a healthy lifestyle.
