DJ Mantixx Embroiled in Con Game Scandal

A few years ago DJ Mantixx was considered one of the most enigmatic and entertaining deejays in Kenya. However, Mantixx got off the show when he went off limelight for a couple of years.

And now a string of bad luck seems to dog the once popular spin-master. Fresh from being fired from Candy n Candy Records, DJ Mantixx is now being accused of being a swindler. According to his accusers, some five guys, Mantixx tricked them into giving him a sum of Sh100,000 being payment for deejaying school fees offered by (his former employer) Candy n Candy Records.

However, Mantixx scattered leaving the five in limbo. When they tried to reach him unsuccessfully for over a month, they resorted to involve the police in the matter.

Together with the law enforcers, they went to Candy n Candy offices off Mombasa Road to hunt for Mantixx. Upon arrival however, they were informed that the deejay was no longer with the stable as he had been dismissed a month earlier.

Speaking to Mantixx, he flatly denies these allegations claiming that he hasn’t taken money from anyone and has no knowledge that cops are looking for him.

“Me niko tu around. Sijaskia polisi yeyote ananitafuta,” says Mantixx in his defence.

Asked about claims that he’s using Candy n Candy Records’ deejaying school to con Kenyans, this is what he says, “Uko nilitoka kitambo. Me nina shule yangu tao. Apo Moi Avenue. Na hakuna mtu nimecon.”

He reveals the only person who has called him to complain is a guy (whose name he withheld) from the diaspora whom he borrowed (deejay) decks from and is yet to return.

“Akuna karau amenicall. Ni msee flani tu apo nina decks zake na ako majuu na nilikua nimrudishie izo machine nab ado sijafanya ivo. Ni hio tu.”
