American rapper Sidney Royel Selby III popularly known by his stage name Desiigner, ended his visit in distress after his expensive sneakers were stolen from his feet during a live performance.
Desiigner was among revelers invited for the annual Jameson Connect Kenya concert that went down on December 8, 2018 at The Waterfront, Karen in Nairobi.
While he sank deep into performing on stage, his sneakers were removed from his feet immediately when he jumped off the stage for the love of the elated fans.
In a video doing rounds on various social media platforms, Desiigner can be heard crying out for his sneakers.
Kenyan top rapper Khaligraph Jones, the OG, posted the video on his Instagram wall urging the rapper to visit Kayole for his next gig.
“Desiigner sorry bro, next time you come to Kenya let them bring you to Kayole 1st you pay homage, after that will give you good security and we won’t steal your sneakers again. #RESPECTTHEOGS,” he posted.
Desiigner, a 21-year-old, came into the limelight in 2016 after his single hit “Panda” took position one on the Billboard 100.
Top local artists who graced the event include Nyashinki, Naiboi and King Kaka.
The Jameson Connects Kenya 2018 was the fifth edition of the event. The first one was held in 2013.
