DK Kwenye Beat was on a career-high before it all came tumbling down.
He was confronted with rape and herpes claims. He opened up to Diana and Bahati on their youtube channel.
"In 2018 things were good, and then in January 2019, it was also good because that was a new phase my brother was entering school and I am the breadwinner.
God has been faithful and I was able to take him to boarding school. I was so excited. Then now came February."
At the time it was an accusation from a blog, that an artist has given herpes plus raped a woman.
"I will live to remember but that was the day I was found with a scandal, a trying scandal. That was the beginning of a new jungle for me"
From then on till date, things have never been the same again. He added
"Scandal got me in 2019 Feb, and this is a scandal that si kitu ya kawaida, I have never had a scandal of ministry and career, and I am at the peak, things were good"
So what happened
"Simu yangi inablow si messages si calls, I don't even know who to answer who to text"
He took it lightly because it was just one blog making allegations.
The magnitude came later.
"As a public figure I took it as rumors that it would blow over, but it got worse, But I still took it on a light basis, but it got to a point it got to the news.
The reality came when it got to the TV screens and he saw the jail terms.
"Everything was happening too fast, sielelwi, I switched off my phone completely and informed my family before doing it"
The pressure to respond was too much,
"Once you see something on national TV, even if you believe so much about DK, and people couldn't reach me, so everything inachange, nimefika ile point niko peke yangu I need to think,,"
He tried to sort it out with his family first to deal with the pressure of explaining what was going on.
Shanice explained how it affected her considering they were making wedding arrangements after having dated for five years
"He never showed me that I could doubt him before this scandal came out. When we talked I felt some ease."
