Colonel’s Mustafa’s mother has revealed that she was unaware her son worked in Mjengo.
According to her, that is the one thing that Mustafa ever hid from her in his life although he told her everything that went on in his life even when he went broke and when his family had issues.
“Mustafa alinificha kitu kimoja tu katika maisha yake lakini mimi Mustafa vitu vingi ananiambia hata maisha yalivyompeleka mpaka akauza gari. Wakati huo ndio mimi nilikuwa naanza kuumwa maanake mimi nimeumwa toka 2021 mpaka 2022 ndio ugonjwa uliniaffect kiasi kikubwa. Toka 2021 alikuwa ananilazimisha nije Nairobi niangaliwe. Nilikuwa naona uzito kidogo kwasababu kule familia haikuwa sawa. Nilikuwa naishi Kenya nikaenda Tanzania, wakati nilitoka ndio nikaanza kuumwa,” she said in an interview with Mungai Eve Media.
The elderly woman added that she also discovered her son’s fate after his mjengo video went viral. She however did not believe in the video and had to hear from the horse’s mouth.
“Mara ya kwanza mimi nilkuwa nimelala asubuhi, brathake siku hio alikuwa anaingia kazi asubuhi. Wakati nimelala nilikuwa naskia ile Hey Baby akaniita mama, akaniambia Daudi(Mustafa) sijui nini… nikamwambia asipende sana kiuamini marafiki. Nikamwambia mimi sijui subiri kwanza arudi. Alikuwa ameenda mazoezi subiri mwenyewe akirudi mwuulize mimi sijui kitu ambacho kinaendelea,” she recalled.
Mustafa’s mother said that she thought it was just about the current trend of clout chasing. Her son came back after about 2-3 hours looking good and she asked him he truly worked in at a construction site or he was just about to release music.
“He told me it was true, I told him to call his brother since he was also concerned. His brother questioned him if it was true and why he never said anything. He told him it was something that had happened and he had nothing to hide. It also hurt him(brother),” Mustafa’s mother said.
Mustafa explained to his family that he had to depend on himself, take care of his family as well as support his ailing mother.
Mustafa’s mother however admitted that she enjoyed the fruits of his music when his career was at the peak.
