Dubai-based Kenyan fitness coach Patrick Owino called out several Kenyan celebrities accusing them of snubbing DJ Babu’s Burial in Murang’a.
In a viral video, Owino expressed displeasure in the act of the said celebs missing DJ Babu’s final sendoff yet he was their biggest support system in Dubai.
Some of the celebrities that Owino called out include Khaligraph Jones, Nyashinski, Sauti Sol, Iyanni, Ssaru, and Masauti, among others.
He claims that the said stars were supported and promoted by the late DJ Babu to perform in the Gulf but allegedly didn't show up for his burial on Friday in Murang'a.
"Yesterday we felt disappointed kabisa, we felt disappointed and so bitter. Babu alisaidia watu wengi. Alikuwa na mabeshte wengi especially wasanii.
"Kitu ambayo inanishangaza, out of wale wasanii wote wamelistiwa hapa: There is Iyanii, MC Teargas, DJ Juan, Ssaru, MC Gogo, Masauti, Mejja, Nyashinksi, Sauti Sol, Khaligraph Jones. Hapo mtu ambaye nilimuona ni MC Gogo na Daffy, na mwingine mwenye nimesahau jina lake," he said.
The trainer went on to say that this should be a lesson to Kenyans in Gulf as far as supporting their own is concerned.
"This should be a lesson to us uko nje that we are alone. these people don't care about us, they care about our pockets kwa sababu unaeza imagine mmoja wetu amekufa na ameletwa mpaka home then none of them pulls up.
"None of them ambao huyu jamaa amewasaidia kupu food on their table. We are very disappointed. Shame on you guys!" he said.
"So this shows us that next time these people wana arrangiwa gigs uko dubs ama anywhere in the gulf, guys you should not pull up. Kama they are not with us wakati tuko na msiba kwa nini sisi twende kujaza mfuko zao na shows zao walipwe vizuri," he said.
The late DJ Babu passed on while in Dubai after being involved in a horrific traffic accident. He was well known for sponsoring and organizing gigs for Kenyan artists.
Babu passed away just days after hosting rapper Khaligraph Jones in Dubai together with his team.
Before his untimely death, Babu had worked with the likes of Singer Iyanni, DJ Juan, MC Teargas, Ssaru, MC Gogo, DJ Daffy, Singer Masauti, Khaligraph Jones, MC Guru, Mejja, Nyashinski, Sauti Sol among others.
