Lord Kenya further stated that Baba Spirit and others stayed with him when he (Lord Kenya) was dealing with drug addiction.
According to Lord Kenya, he had a quick temper, which made him physically assault his boys when he was angry.
Lord Kenya disclosed that radio presenters at the time did not have it smooth whenever they said negative things about him.
“Baba Spirit was one of the boys who stayed with me. I used to beat them up. I also used to go to radio stations and beat up presenters who said bad things about me. I was a soldier.
