DJ Prince was evicted by his landlord from his rented house in Nairobi over rent arrears.
The DJ took to his social media handles appealing for help adding that the landlord seized his belongings and evicted him without notice while he was away.
While taking to his Facebook, the Nairobi based disc jockey expressed his grievances through a video saying that he had gone to visit his brother and found his house empty when he returned.
“I’ve been away for a while, I went to visit my little brother last week on Wednesday…I come back and find my things had been packed and stowed away by the caretaker following the landlord’s directive."
He admitted that he had not paid rent for some months because of Covid-19 adverse effects in the entertainment industry that rendered him jobless for months.
“Hizi ni effects za Covid. I had some arrears, I have not been working for many months this year,” he said.
Nevertheless, he was appalled by the landlord's actions in his absence, citing that the landlord ignored legal procedures.
Prince posed, “Help me understand, is it within the law for them to remove my household items and lock them up while I’m away?”
Since he is also a graphic designer and animator, Prince appealed to those who owe him money for the work he has done to pay him.
He also sought financial assistance from those willing to help.
The DJ concluded, “If you happen to owe me money, please sort me out. Apart from being a Dj, I’m a graphic designer and an animator. There are around five jobs I’ve done for several companies but I haven’t been paid a cent. This is what happens when you fail to pay creatives on time. Anyone willing to help reach out."
