The Huu
Mwaka hit maker, who is also a NACADA director, cruises around in top of the
range vehicles, wears designer clothes and lives a fancy lifestyle that
many only dream off.
However this was not always been his lifestyle.
Jaguar has
had to work extremely hard to be where he is today as he grew up in abject
poverty.
Through
social media, the popular artist recalled of days when he used to share a one
roomed house with his elder sister in the lowly Mukuru kwa Reuben slums in Nairobi.
According to the talented singer, life was not only hard as the siblings used
to sleep on the floor but it was also pathetic as he would wear paper bags
before wearing his torn shoes to prevent his feet from getting wet.
“This pic
reminds me of 16yrs ago when i used to live here Mukuru kwa reuben slums with
my sister who who got married when she was 17yrs and had to sleep on the floor
in her mabati 1 roomed structure.....and every morning i had to put paper bags
before wearing my shoes to avoid water getting into my feet thru my torn shoes”
Jaguar recalled.
However, the
modest conditions only served as a motivation for Jaguar to work hard in order
to escape the poverty. And now the successful
musician and philanthropist, who recently visited the slums in his top of the
line Range Rover to distribute goodies to people living in the area, can only
look back and appreciate how far God has brought him.
“I always
told my sister i will one day get her out of here and i thank God i did...16
yrs down the lane this is how i came to Mukuru kwa Reuben to donate to Gatoto
primary sch..Never loose hope,God works in miracles.” Jaguar captioned the
