Kenyan artist Holy Dave has for the first time explained in detail what transpired on the day he was accused of attacking a man with a bottle in a bar.
He says it was a minor disagreement that was exaggerated after the person realized he was a celebrity.
Speaking during an interview with Massawe Japanni, he narrated
"It was something very stupid. It was someone I did not even know.
He was drunk and he almost fell on my friends and that is when my security guy handled him.
That was a very happy day for me. The guys brother started attacking me after he fell on our table.
The brother said I wouldn't leave the premise, that is when the 15 seconds war began."
Dave refuted attacking the man with a bottle saying the man was injured by a glass the artist was holding when he attacked him.
"I did not attack the man using a bottle.
It wasn't serious, but the guy wanted to extort me. He wanted 300K from me.
I ended up paying 150K because I did not want to waste time in court.
The story also affected my brand."
Holy Dave says he lost some deals due to the incident
"There were people I had talked to before the saga occurred in October 1st. In Jan 12 people I had talked to either went quiet or completely ignored me.
Some brands asked me directly. Afgter that I got my biggest deal.
Maybe God wanted to show me to behave myself for what he is preparing me for in the future."
He says the guy got smart and reported him first despite he and his brother being the ones who attacked first.
He took a P3 first and accused me of assaulting him.
Since then I have increased my security, to protect my brand.
