Kafia Ghetto hitmaker Hussein Machozi was four years ago allegedly caught with the wife to a prominent Mombasa politician.
One of the catchy headlines from a local blog was, ‘Msanii Hussein Machozi Apokea Kichapo cha Mbwa na Kupewa Masaa 24 Kuondoka Hapa Nchini Kenya. This was replicated in Tanzania with headlines like, Hussein Machozi Adaiwa Kufumaniwa huko Mombasa, Kenya.
However, the artist, who had relocated to Mombasa from Bongo before the drama distanced himself from an affair with the woman in question but said handymen of the said politician confronted him at a hotel in Mombasa. Speaking to Nation in 2015, Machozi said he was in the hotel with the woman discussing music-related business.
“That’s not how things happened. I had gone to the hotel to meet a female promoter to square out on a certain deal. She signs out artists and then organizes shows for them and that was the nature of the deal. While we were going about with the business discussion, several men stormed the hotel and started causing havoc. When things turned ugly, I managed to escape unhurt. There was totally nothing between me and the lady in question. I think the promoter never informed her partner the nature of our meeting and when he was tipped he thought otherwise,” the artist said.
