Legendary Kenyan rapper Jackson Ngechu Makini alias CMB Prezzo has opened up on why he always wears a bulletproof vest whenever he is stepping out.

In an interview with YouTuber 2mbili, Prezzo disclosed that he vowed to protect himself after being robbed and shot at a close range, a few years ago.

“When it comes to security; there is no second guessing because I have been shot before at close range. That’s why I know I am here for a reason.

"So anybody watching this make sure when you come, aim for the head,” Prezzo stated.

In June 2020, while appearing on CTA, Prezzo opened up on an ugly incident that left him with a permanent scar on his head.

He disclosed that he was shot at a close range by thugs' days prior to his wedding. At that particular time, his ex-wife Daisy Kiplagat was pregnant with their daughter Zahra Bohke.

"I got shot in my head just about the time I was about to get married. My ex-wife was pregnant at that time; she was 3 months pregnant at that time. It was the worst experience in my life as I was thinking to myself ‘Am not going to see my daughter, I’m just about to get married.’ I was like 'not now’. That was the only time I really panicked,” Prezzo revealed.

The thugs drove from Kileleshwa where the incident happened to town, all along beating Prezzo with butt of the gun, even as he tried to negotiate with them.

“I had already removed my jewellery and I told them it cost Sh3 million. I told them my phone was worth $5000 because I was trying to get myself out of the situation,” Prezzo explained.  

The seasoned rapper said that his mother’s prayers kept him going, despite the difficulties he was going through.

 “But then I believe my mum’s prayers kept me going. So when I was losing consciousness I felt the car stopping and these guys (the thugs) told me ‘Don’t follow us, we are gonna drop you here.’ They dropped me in Buruburu, they showed me a flood light then they told me they would leave my car at the floodlights,'" Prezzo continued. 

The rapper is a gun lover and an enthusiastic shooter who has in the past expressed his support for private gun ownership. He definitely knows what guns can do and how crucial they are when it comes to self-defense.
