Many Kenyans might know Weezdom since he broke out as a gospel artiste under Bahati’s record label EMB(Eastlands Most Beloved) which he later fell off with the management and somewhat switched sides to Willy Paul’s even played on Willy Paul’s cameo for the song ‘Yes I do’ with Alaine.
The gospel artiste who opened up about his rough patch growing up in Eastlands area, Mathare to be precise, where he was raised by his grandmother said that growing up there wasn’t easy.
The gospel rapper who recently worked with Janet Otieno said he doesn’t know where he could’ve been if it wasn’t for Jesus in his life.
Weezdom started living alone since he was 14 years old(a relative was giving him 10 shillings a day which he used to save plus his house rent was 300 shillings) and with his freedom, he started to be a drug dealer after someone who was paying for him house rent abruptly stopped to do that.
The young Weezdom started to indulge in drug abuse out of curiosity but then again after his drug-connect was caught and taken to jail, he decided to be the connect as it were, and even went further to sell other drugs himself which saw him get a little taste of fast money.
Since the theme of that show was about Discipline, Weezdom expressed the discipline that enabled him to move from a 500 shillings house to a 1000 shillings house but he became greedy and inquisitive and began to deal his own drugs, and that caused him to lose pretty much everything he had since he used to buy 1300 Kenyan shillings worth of syringes and this made him weigh 39 kilograms.
Many people thought he was diagnosed with HIV/Aids and that he was dying because of the drastic weight loss.
Because he became broke due to his addiction, he embarked on another drug called C which is usually administered to insane rather crazy people to ease or relax them down which made him became numb in his tongue and he couldn’t even shower for 8 days straight.
Were it not for his grandfather who took him to Smile Again Rehabilitation Center where he spent 10 months there, he might have been dead a while back.
When he was there, he promised God that he will serve him in any way he knows how if he will see him through the rehabilitation center and when he came out, he got signed to Bahati’s record label EMB records and the rest as they say is history.
