Jamal said the reason he does that is to encourage people that it is not about where they start.
Jamal’s love for big cars is also evident and he owns a couple of them, a white Range Rover and a black Toyota Land Cruiser.
The Range, made in the UK, costs over KSh 8 million. A few months ago, he used his pricey car collection on social media to encourage his fans about hard work.
"Continue believing. One day itajipa (you will get a breakthrough). Conductor 12 years ago Alhamdulillah," he wrote.
In various interviews, Jamal has spoken about his grass to grace life.
Before fame and money, Jamal was a tout and diligently did this for two years after he completed his high school education.
He later bought his matatu and employed a driver and a tout while he went ahead to become a driver in someone else’s vehicle.
Even while driving, he had the vision to make it and worked towards achieving the dream.
