Singer Kizo B pleads for help after arrest, dismisses death rumors

Veteran Kenyan singer Kizo B, best known for his hit song 'Ulinibeep', has resurfaced in a distressing video from a police cell in Shanzu, Mombasa County, pleading for help amid a legal battle.

In a video shared on his Instagram page, Kizo B, visibly distressed, called on his fans for support while explaining the circumstances surrounding his arrest. Speaking in Swahili, he said:

"To all my fans, I ask for your support as you watch this video. I am currently in the Shanzu police cell in Shimo la Tewa, facing a case based on false accusations. I have pleaded not guilty and need to secure my release on bond. Please, I sincerely appeal to you for help. I need your support."

The celebrated artist, who relocated to Mombasa to invest in land, now finds himself entangled in a legal dispute. According to him, he has been accused of threatening someone's life with a machete, an allegation he strongly denies.

He maintained that the accusations against him are baseless, explaining that land ownership issues in Mombasa often lack clear documentation, making disputes difficult to resolve legally.

"I have been falsely accused of threatening someone's life using a machete. I didn't threaten anyone. These lands in Mombasa have no title deeds, and you can't be sued over them even if disputes arise," he stated, urging fans and well-wishers to support him in seeking justice.

Two months ago, he had also sent out a distressing message on his YouTube channel where he appealed to his followers to assist him get back to the studio simply because, “I'm kind of stuck that's why I'm not producing any new songs. I love music and I wish to sing more.”

Amid his legal troubles, Kizo B also dismissed false reports of his death, revealing that his social media accounts had allegedly been hacked. To put rumors to rest, he reassured his fans that he was alive and well.
