Tuesday, October 7, 2025 - Kenyans are in shock after a viral video emerged showing legendary Kenyan disc jockey, DJ Arika, begging in Ruai, Nairobi.
The once-celebrated DJ, who was once a household name,
appeared frail, disoriented and unkempt, raising deep concern over his mental
health and well-being.
According to eyewitnesses, DJ Arika has been spotted several
times wandering around Ruai town, often mumbling to himself and seeking help
from well-wishers.
Further reports indicate that he has been battling
depression.
The video has since gone viral, with fans and fellow
entertainers expressing heartbreak and calling on the Kenyan creative
industry to step in and offer support to one of their own who has clearly
fallen on hard times.
This sad turn of events comes as a stark reminder of how
quickly fame can fade - and how many entertainers struggle silently with mental
health and financial difficulties after the spotlight dims.
