Controversial Nairobi rapper Jackson Makini also known as Prezzo is set to face the judges in court on Monday after allegedly assaulting an Embakasi resident.
Reportedly Prezzo tried to force himself into the man's vehicle and on declining the rapper slapped and threatened him.
The motorist is a Kenya Airways pilot identified as Stanley Kipchumba. He was driving to his house before he was confronted by a drunk Prezzo.
Embakasi DCIO Ephantus Kimulwa has confirmed the incident and stated that Prezzo will be arraigned in court to face charges.
“At around noon on Saturday, KQ pilot Stanley Kipchumba drove into Nyayo Estate where he resides and parked his car. As he was offloading shopping items from the boot, Prezzo with two other men, seemingly inebriated, approached Stanley and asked him to drop them in town. Stanley responded that he does not operate a taxi. At this point, Prezzo asked him, “Kwani hujui mimi ni nani?” (You don’t know who I am?)”, Kim law said.
Apparently, guards on duty alerted the police at Embakasi police station who arrested the artist. However, Prezzo's accomplices fled after the police swung into action.
