Embarambamba is broke and miserable despite engaging in dangerous stunts to earn a living.
The Kisii-based musician, whose real name is Christopher Mosioma, shot to fame by engaging in absurd moves while singing.
Embarambamba is known for throwing himself in mud and stagnant water, climbing threes and other platforms and jumping off etc.
The singer is also known for dropping song with vile sexual innuendos like ‘Napenda Mbele Sipendi Nyuma’, ‘Nataka Kukuingiza’ among others.
But despite all the fame and popularity, Embarambamba says that he has not earned much from his songs.
The controversial musician revealed that the highest amount he has been paid for an event is Ksh100,000 and this was at a crusade.
Last year, during the general election campaigns, the singer performed in various events organised by political parties.
“When I performed at Kasarani for Azimio party I was paid Ksh50,000. I expected something more given all the concerts I did,” Embarambamba said.
And even his attempts to collaborate on a music project with fellow artistes has not been easy, especially given the tough environment of music business, the artiste says.
“I remember I once approached a local artiste for a collaboration and they demanded I pay them Ksh50,000. I was very shocked. In my own opinion, in the spirit of helping each other, artistes should not charge fellow artistes for music collaborations,” he said.
