Musician and producer George Mugai, widely known as Madtraxx, has been accused of domestic violence by his wife, Salima Hussein.
In an update on Instagram, the producer’s wife shared a series of photos and medical reports to support the abuse claims dating back to 2021.
According to a medical report dated October 21, 2021, findings showed Salima had a bruising on the left upper limb, knees and marks on the left leg.
Additionally, she had soft tissue injury to the head and visible bruising and scratches on the lower and upper limbs.
The medical findings further showed that Salima was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of her check-up and was not admitted to the hospital.
Seemingly fed up with series of abuse from her husband, Salima took to her Instagram page where she shared the medical reports and photos showing the extent of the abuse.
“Never have I thought I’ll be beaten in my life but I married an animal. Y’all superstar, Madtraxx! My whole life I’m battling anxiety, fear and trauma just because of this guy. 10 years with a human abuser,” she said.
The abuse claims comes just six months after the couple took to Instagram to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary.
To mark the anniversary, Madtraxx wrote, “Happy anniversary to us my love! 5 years is such a blessing. I love having you as my queen through this journey. Love you.”
Madtraxx and Salima tied the knot in a colourful wedding graced by family and friends in 2018.
Videos released by invited guests showed the happy couple cheerfully dancing at their wedding.

Claims of domestic abuse are not uncommon in the local entertainment industry.
For instance in 2022, former Kiss FM radio presenter Kamene Goro opened up on being badly beaten by her ex-boyfriend.
Speaking to Obinna in the morning Kiss, the sassy radio personality said at the time, she was afraid that society would judge her, forcing her to stay despite the abuse.
“The first boyfriend beat me like a thief and he was beating me as if I am a fellow man,” she said.
Kamene added that being abused changed how she viewed herself. She said the fact that people would question her about what she did wrong to her ex-lover made it even worse.
“We cannot fault you as a victim. What I want us to pick apart is how society makes it look like it is normal. What is it that you did? Sometimes, society gets you back to stay in abusive relationships and some parents also tell you to be calm in such relationships,” she said.
