Hot 96 presenter Shix Kapienga recounts the day her career forced to be a prostitute 

The prospect of a big break through in her career forced Shix Kapienga to ditch her morals and do what she thought she could never do before. The Hot 98 presenter was among the actors who starred in the blockbuster Kenyan movie – Nairobi Half-life.

The movie has X-rated scenes and interestingly Shix Kapienga’s role centered on those steamy scenes. She played a  role of a prostitute called Amina, the love interest of both Oti and Mwas.

Speaking during an interview on K24’s Talk Central, Shix Kapienga stated that she struggled with the role she played on Nairobi Half-life since she had never undressed before an audience.

Shix explained that playing the role of a commercial sex worker on the movie was an acid test to her morals. She said that she was forced to break out of her comfort zone since she wanted to make it big in acting.

“It was just fine. The only uncomfortable part is where I had to undress but I was like you know I want to do acting and this is acting, I have to do it. Hatuwezi sema si ni actors then tunanafanya vitu nusu-nusu, we have to go all the way, pole pole tu,” said Shix Kapienga.

The Hot 96 presenter also revealed that she barred her mother from watching Nairobi Half-life, this after her mom teased her about her role on ‘Shuga 2’.

“I told my mum because she watched Shuga and she is like aaaih that is how you were dancing? That is acting? I was like mum it’s just acting and she was like aaaih hapana. You know our mothers. “I was like Nairobi Half-Life is worse so I was like wachana nayo,” Shix said.
