Kenyan singer Colonel Mustafa has finally broken his silence after a video of him working at a construction site went viral.
The undated video sparked mixed reactions from netizens who were surprised to see the famous musician doing manual labour and questioned the state of his music career.
In response to the video, some supporters called for an end to the trend of mocking former celebrities, arguing that they should be allowed to live their lives as they wish.
Colonel Mustafa, who spoke briefly to Nairobi News in a telephone interview, said he was not feeling well and asked to speak later, leaving many fans wondering about his current situation.
“Siko poa, I am not doing well,” he told Nairobi News.
In 2022, Colonel Mustafa revealed that he was battling depression, which he had suffered from for about two or three years after leaving a reality show.
During an interview with The Trend, the musician opened up about his struggles and how he had to disappear from social media for a while.
Since leaving the show, Colonel Mustafa has not released any new music for almost five years. However, he revealed during the interview that he is working on a new album and is back in music.
Several celebrities who commented on the viral video hinted that the singer was about to release a new song. Content creator 2Mbili said he was happy that Mustapha was finally making a video for the song ‘Mzee Lipunda’, while Weezdom also said a video was loading.
