Popular Artiste Narrates how his own mother wrapped him in a paperbag and dumped him to be eaten by dogs
Ukiona vyalea jua vimeundwa, that’s the only saying that befits what popular Tanzanian artiste Q-chillah has gone through.
The Tanzanian who in the past has given us mega hits like ungeniumiza and beautiful and corroborated with Kenyan artists disappeared abruptly not to be heard again. He took off at the top of his career and many wondered where he disappeared to.
Well, he’s back and he’s ready to take back his piece of the cake from the likes of Darassa and Diamond having even collaborated with Patoranking as I jot down this.
But why exactly did he take a hike? While speaking to Mzazi Willy Tuva on Citizen Mambo Mseto, Q-Chillah popularly known Q Chief has experienced quite the rough patch in the last 5 years. Just like many Tanzanian artistes from his era he got hooked to hard drugs something he struggled with for a whooping 4 years but he has since managed to salvage himself.
It started off as a past time maybe after a successful show but it soon escalated where he started using it as a stress reliever and before he knew it he was already hooked. However through the support of his wife, who’s Kenyan by the way, and his close and family and friends, he managed to extract himself from the demon and now he’s rearing to get his career back on track.
And just to assure you he might just do that, he also narrated how he got dumped wrapped in a paper bag by his own mother to be eaten by the dogs. The mother at the time was going through despair and depression as his own father had refused to acknowledge his legitimacy and existence and she died soon after.
However God never forgets his people as he was picked up by another woman who raised him as if he was her own and actually encouraged him to try out music. As they say, the rest is history!
