He explained like this:

It's to help prostitutes in the streets because they once helped me when I had no one to house me. Everyone I knew rejected me but they (prostitutes) helped me. They stood with me. It's a long story...

I will be launching the project soon on my YouTube channel.

He also talked about his relationship with Tanzanian socialite Hamisa Mobetto.

She's my biggest supporter. She's also my friend. Tanzanians have been pushing my content on social media.

When she came to Kenya, I met with her and we did something for online that day, and there's something big that's coming.

The comedian also talked about the qualities of his kind of woman.

God-fearing woman, inner beauty, not a drama quee and humble.
