 Let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say... Nkiazakwaile statementu, Lisema, you know you said you as a public figure, you know it might cost you and at the same time it might help someone else. Did you lose anything, did it cost you somehow? Oh my God. It costed me a lot. Not money wise but it really cost me. I saw the comments as well, pali kwa social media LJ, suji kama ulu kwa ume expect the kind of comments that people were giving you. Of course there were those that were very encouraging, but there were those who were telling you, unatafta kiki, you want to get back to music, this is why you're doing this, you as a person went through depression. How did that make you feel, LJ? What's up guys and welcome to yet another episode of Buzz with stars right here on SPM Buzz. My good name is Miss Kithingi and today I have a very talented artist right here on Buzz with stars. You know he's been able to put some Masai dialect into his music and makes it sound very cool and other than that he has been an award winner, the groover world artist of the year. This is the one and only LJ Masai. Guys better let me tell you there's one more thing, I wanted to say LJ is a gospel artist, but I didn't know if that is the truth. So he's gonna be telling us if he still does gospel music, if he's still a gospel artist or not. LJ, where but on a gospel artist? So that's a definition of gospel artist. Someone who does music that I know praises the most high god according to my understanding. LJ Masai is a musician. Okay, yes. So in terms of music, music for me is a work. It's something I do. So for me if I sing gospel music, what is the definition of gospel music? Gospel is the word of god. But Yes, but love What is the greatest commandment? Love is the greatest commandment. So for me I don't do that in music. Okay, yes. But if I do love songs, it's godly love. But you know LJ, we both agree that your type of music changed from what you used to do back in the days to you know the latest music you've given us LJ. What is the genre of LJ? What is the genre of LJ? The genre of LJ? The content of LJ. Okay. The content of LJ? And what is the change of content? What is the change of content? What work is so quick to judge us as artists. But in terms of music, like honestly love Even in the Bible. So I don't do dirty music. But for me my love songs are just Geni, legit. Geni, legit. Okay. But personally Salve Shonyangu, me na God, me personal and me am select Christian Stunch. Christian. I read somewhere on the news that I think she's your former girlfriend Flo Flo Mutia. Mutia was you know accused of making you change you know your type of content the type of music that you're doing I don't know if that's true or that's not true. I saw that as well Flo Flo is an actress. She's a musician as well. So we did a song with her. It was a love song. Na ini do kam. So wuki skiza ingo ma There's nothing dirty in it. Manpata. It's just genuine love. Manpata. So Na siyati na nili switch siku switch. Manpata. Ili fika yo point I've done gospel songs kumsi fo mungu kilakati na ini. And then just Ili happened to at its own time na ni have kwaimba I love song Manpata. And she just happened to be the one to do the song with me. So LJ it is not true that you know that you had said that you left the gospel music because of Sijuka tales in that last tree. Siku live gospel. Upa kwa bado. Mimu na janashindo yo story li kwaime I don't live gospel. I don't know why people keep saying I left gospel. Now that you're actually there still in the gospel industry, are there kataels there? Are people not making you not get shows? Kataels zime kuwa from day one. Really? Na Sijuka is Taisha. What kind of kataels? Break it down for us because you know you're inside there. What is your experience? For me it's like if you don't belong to a certain group you don't get airplay you don't get some shows I'm a gigs if you don't belong kama u relate na wasiflani sima bestoa ko siwatu muna fanyashu muna fanyashu muna fanyashubili na you don't get shows you don't get gigs you don't get interviews you don't get airplay if I relate to one group or party this other one that's the rival are not going to support me partner, out and support but me nikangu I didn't pick any side and me I was like wacha God was coming and you know it's so unfortunate because the gospel industry should be a place whereby someone feels encouraged someone feels supported because we are preaching the word of God sasa muna jusa apa beti na jai difference nini umesema gospel industry nukweli jifama linambia enwa ministry siwa industry kuna industry na ministry sasa ile industry do ile aribu manenu kapisa industry ni industry ineza kwa ita industry kupika mayai kazi ni pesa it's about money that's about money but ministry is not about money it's not about what you're getting because blessings are God kwa ile ureza kumata ka gari kuna Goda me plana kwa ile jufo kwa ile that's ministry nesemi aji now LJ let's talk about what you've been through lately for the past 1 year and something you came out on social media told us about what you've been going through You said all those things on social media, but we'd like to hear now from you. What happened, LJ? Where was it, you know? Where was life hard for you? What happened? Well, I don't know, if you're talking about my depression station. Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, for sure. Um, anyway. Una jwa saywa na jwa LJ masai kama, insa ni monye. Ali bobe ya. Eh, great, yes. A big artist. Kwanza, when groove awards was groove awards those times. Mail artist of the year. Yes. I think I'm the last one. By the way, was there any other? I think we may answer quishaisha. I don't think so. I don't think so. Was there any? I don't think so. I really don't think so. And that was 20, what? Sixteen. Twenty sixteen. Ya. I don't think badwili ndelia sitani. That's when... And the fact that we don't know it means... The biggest hour do we look on nangalakilamutu. Queli, ya. In kanya. Ya. So anyway. Kenyeli happened, ilifuka point, guys were over rating. Okay. Transkenganda rated. Ya. Ah, sasa miinu kwa na over rate yo. All right. Guys thinking that, you know, after winning this award, dama millionia. Ya. Sdini mi papesangapi. Aha. Of which is nang. Ya. So that is what the, you know, the awards of the acknowledgement did. It made you... It's just exactly what you said. It's an acknowledgement. Yes. It's not a reward in terms of... Finance. Finance or money, whatever. Ya. No. So there was a lot of pressure. Too much pressure. From fans, from family of... Fans, family, friends and everyone. What were they telling you? They were expecting too much of me. Like your support and money? Ya. Kama... Ya. Support. Ya. Or expectation in terms of content. Ya. Na jwa. Ya. For example, like when I won that award, I did a video nyi lini. So much money. The most expensive video nyi lini. In my career. Ya. It came out of my pocket. Ya. So the next video after that, what do I expect? The same standard. For sure. Do you go? Hakuna. So being an artist in Kenya, how would you describe, you know, just being an artist in Kenya? Especially during your happier times when you know people are following you a lot and just talking about you. Eh, it's awesome. Ya. Nifiti. Okay. Ono jwa kuatis, tumapata favazumob. Kweli. Unapata favazumob. Okenda... Okenda gigs. Okenda... Ata inya daily life routine na pata. Like there's so much favazia nyi una chukulia kama uni lje. Nyi ya. Na pata. So you get so many favaz. But you see these favaz, they cost. Okay. So if I walk into a supermarket, for example, ono jwa umsa na kuja shopping. Ta. Mini weka mkuba yoga tia chwani. Me. Eh. Umana get. Ya. So sometimes I have to pack my cow outside nitu maumsa hindi kwa super ni chukulia yoga. Eh. And then I'll get... Eh. Nani pata wasi wuku kwa super badu anada ini wali piya shopping yao. Ok. Nasa yoha unabob biyo time. Nii komba. Eh. Hey. So now, what time did it get bad? Is it when now you change the type of content of music that you were doing or it was before? Actually I had contemplated for a long time. Ha. To do like a love song. Ok. Um. Nili kikiri asana. Niku kwa nirekod na asani. Kada. Mhm. Piya minko nirekod zangubi kivi angu lakini. Mhm. I didn't know whether it's time to release this ama si kwa na patiopi chani ni toy nisi toy. Mhm. Nani kikiri asana uto nijajaja. Nia. Nani pata. So. So. When I finally came to decide that ni anze wa chani toa. Nisi kia response. Wo. It had taken a toll on me. Wow. Mhm. So that is after you released all before or after? Even your song na flaw. Eh. To go to my record. Way back. Yeah. Nia pata. Yeah. So. By the time ni kama mambene aje to shoot a video to release ingoma. I look at me take time. Mhm. Ate he munya lini niza. Uko shio na tatu release ikitu. Nia kama mea. Tachilia. Yeah. And then this is why the time now corona was hitting. Yeah. The first phase. Okay. That is 2020. Mhm. Eh. Sasa sayi watakuna shows. Ata uke release music piano shows. Mili kwa zilezaa. So tu toi tupana. Eh. Tungo jasetwa nia ata samaji. Yeah. What was her contribution in your life? Because we saw you wrote a love letter to her and we are going to get into the details of that. Yo, love letter? I mean it was more like a love letter because it was to your love of your life. In na song ama. No, no, no, no. On what you wrote on Facebook. Mhm. Yes. So I would like to know what was her contribution in your life that time? That is flow. Well, let me tell you something. When you get into relationships, there's always a lesson. Mhm. And there's always an experience. Nupata. Yeah. So, I never experienced different sound. Mhm. Because before that, what was the journey that actually happened? Yeah, I remember. Yeah. Yeah. So it was rumored you were engaged. Was it true? I know that was just a photo shoot. Iliwkwatu photo shoot. Mepiga wedding gown. Nini, nini, nini. Sule wutatweke, hezo piciaza wedding wawane. LJ tulifira uluku wawana. Ashilali kwa na kampuni aku za wedding gowns. Iliwkwatu nana market. Okay. Yeah. Ehe. So, when flow came, I was sure this is done. For me, in terms of relationship, I was like, ya ni minsha fika. This is it. Ehe. Kus my focus is on my career. Yeah. Na business dango za kifamiliya na nini. Yes. No relationship. Mhm. Nupata. So I was so settled. Kabisa. Mhm. And I got that picture. Yeah. From dating her. Aha. But you know, wutu zulea happened in between. Ehe. Ehe. Ile, whatever you know the post you made on Facebook, you had mentioned that you know, you lost, you lost your relationship. Mhm. You lost wealth. You lost, you know, your studio. You lost literally everything. Mhm. And it was, was it due to the depression that your relationship ended? Ama. I would say actually that relationship at that time helped me survive for a while. Okay. During the depression. Yes. So it says in the relationship. Okay. Nupata. Yeah. Mwajokama no, kama personally, mimi, mimi saku jikea bitu, mimi siyambi angu ya say. Ehe. Mimi kiki go through itu, mimi mi sayzikwambia. Okay. Beti as much as wuwa wu na zokasistangu ama mma angu. Yeah. Nanyama zia. Ehe. So I just suffered with it alone. Npaka ni figure out kivi angu. Ehe. Nupata. Yeah. So at some point li fika any ega kwa sasa adi relationship siyazi handling. Okay. So now it was also taking a toll on her as well. Mwibbia asana. Ehe. Mwibbia asana. So now we had to call it quits. Wewe ama yae ama it was. Actually I can't even explain how that relationship ended. Yeah. We just drifted. Nwana. Miya drifted, she drifted. Yeah. And by the time I realized ya ni story mesh. Ehe. You mentioned she had said that you know she's gonna be there for you. Nwata, you know even if you guys are not together. That actually those are words that I put there. Okay. Ya ni mwenyendal sayama. Ya. And I think she posted it. Ya. Aka sayama ya ni ya no matter what alone will be there for LJ whatever whatever. Ya. So that. So did you feel the need you know to go and just approach her once again when things got really bad or you just thought yourself let me just handle this. Oh. Mwibbia. Mwibbia. Mwibbia. Mwibbia. Ya. I just kept quiet. Ya. Kivi angutu. Ya. Nisafatu. Ya. But in the midst of separation baduna nantraiku kufigawa things. Ya. So you did not talk to anyone else. You didn't talk. No one. No one. You mentioned you lost friends as well. How was that? Whoa. Friends. Ya. Chana marafiki akuna kitu kama marafiki. I LJ utasema J if you. Agon. Did you reach out to anyone aka kulenga? Ya. Not once, not twice. Ya. Ten times plus. So you felt like you were both of us? Ya. Not really a bother but they could not help me at my time of need. Nampada. Ya. Yet I was there. Kukyua na persa kukyua na. Shuguli za kazi ni hene. Ya. Nampada. Ya. So when you put out that post, I mean you had already gone. I think I even mentioned on the post that at a family. Ya. Tenshwan different family by the way. Ya. How is your relationship with your mum because I know you're the only son? Ya. How is your relationship like with your mum? Oh it's very good. Okay. Tukosa na mazutu kutumeko sana kiasi. Ya. I didn't talk to my mum for like six months. But she was reaching out. No na jo aso sayo na jo sokosa na angu na ake. Ya. Siya ti tumeko sana isu. Apana. Tumeko sana kusana ni yambia. A mi siya nbiliki, mi siya kwa kichungu. Ya. Ali kwa na kwenbi anini. Siya ofkosa na ni advice. Ya. Pa ni yuki. A mavasi. Ru di shule. Ya. Do this thing. Ono jo na ni advice in different ways. For sure. What you can do. I'ma talk to this person. I'm like you don't understand what I'm going through. Ya. And you know it's very easy to actually feel that way when you're going through something because you feel people are not in your shoes. Mi iskwa na na eliawa. Ok. Si kwa na feel kama na eliawa kenya na go through. Ya na ni pay advice in diyo. Mazali advice of course. Ya. But I'm not feeling like she understands what I'm going through. Ya. And how to deal with it. Mm hmm. So ni kwa like mam tu ni ajitu. Ya. Let me deal with it. But how was it for her as well now that you guys are in good terms? Oh it was stuff for her. Ya. But you know. Damn. Jitu kuliko. Maji. Mm hmm. And was it the same duration that you lost your grandpa? Ya. That must have been very tough. Ya. My grandpa. I lost my grandpa. And that was crazy stuff. Kwa wu ni mitu ni kwa na kwa na kwa na. Ya. Ya. In our family. Asa saima. Ya ya. Iinda li kwa mitu. Ya ni. Me na ya ni. There was no one known as much as him and myself. Ya. And Pata. He was like your father basically. She was my father. He raised me. Yes. I told you I'm raised from a single mother. Yes. But now my grandpa. He was my father figure. Mm hmm. I lived in school. I can even reach a bit of mobile. I had my first employment. Mm hmm. Ni li kwa kampani ake. And Pata. Ya. So when I lost him. Yo. It was crazy. For me. Not only for me but my phone calls was not come. Not only for me but my phone calls was not come. Ya. I was like yo. I don't have answers for your questions. Ya. That must have been very tough for sure. It was crazy. The part that you mentioned. You know you lost wealth and all that. Was it part of new. Was it like wealth that your grandpa left you? I mean it was now what you had already just made for yourself. Well I didn't really lose wealth. Okay. But I lost my life. Mm hmm. I input like that. Ya. Um. No je wealth kengalawas nangalanda rindini. Ya. Kenye naza se ma. Illigo. Different ni. No jai usani. I was a tambian. Matatu ni ni. Mm hmm. Kenye piya wana expect weka mam sana ni. Na live life. Ya. So sa gari, mestol. Ya. E mi na pigesa abu ni. Ya jene kumafutia ta wa bana. Chani pande matatu ani. Ya. Aruwata. Ya. But you see wealth especially for my grandfather. Ya. You can't sell. Okay. With the sell. Ya. Ata weidu leh landika. Ya. With the user. Ya. So basically what you lost is especially a piece of mind. Because sometimes at a kwa na pesa mingi. With no peace of mind. Mm hmm. There is really nothing. Ya there is so much going on. I was like you know what. We are just done. Ya. Ni ka choka ni ka choka ni ka tulia. Ya. Ni ka samata nga masita aki kutawa. Ya. Siya tisi na ideas. Ya. Ni na studio na record na sema. Ta. Nama fans wa kikua na kikuliza LG uku api. Because that's a point you lost even your Instagram account. So we thought you know, LG is just gone you know. Ya. Actually I lost Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. That's a very terrible coincidence. How come? And then I managed to retrieve Twitter and Facebook. Okay. But Instagram bado ki doga. Ya. Juna kumbuka you know you went missing I think at the moment you lost your grandpa. And I remember texting you some point I'm like LG hey it's been a long time are you okay? Mm hmm. And I think you just said you were fine but I think now you are not. Na juna jibuto. Ya. Ya. He. Okay guys. No LG you went on social media and expressed yourself how you've been feeling, what you've been through and you really elaborated into details and all those kind of things. And you know it's very hard for a man to express himself. What came into your mind when you just decided you know what? I want to do this and I want to tell my story on social media. Ya. I know friends and people who have gone through depression, anxiety and stress. Mm hmm. Na nikitu it's mental health. Na nikitu wato na pukusasana. Ya. So it reached a point I just had to speak you know. I had to speak you know. And so go up and you know. It's hard for me. Wato na jikama masai. Ya masai. Na jua ya. Masai ni soja. Ya. Ya. But you know it had to reach that point where I had to speak out. Ya. Did you get people, did you consult with anyone Amulia and Dika too? I didn't consult. I consulted myself. Ya. For a while. Mm hmm. Ni kafi kiriya story, ni kasa mani yonge ya mani siyonge. Ya. But reached a point where I had to express myself. Ya. Na kiaanza kwaile statementu. Lisema you know you said you as a public figure. You know it might cost you. And at the same time it might help someone else. Did you lose anything? Did it cost you somehow? Oh my god it costed me a lot. Ya. Not money wise. Okay. But it let me cost. Eh. And you know I saw the comments as well palia kwa social media elges. Jikama ulu kwa ume expect the kind of comments that were you know people were giving you. Of course there were those that were very encouraging. But there were those who were telling you unatafta kiki you want to get back you know to music. This is why you're doing this. You as a person went through depression. What did you make? How did it make you feel well Jikama? So. Paole paole. I know it must have been you know tough especially just seeing people not take you like you expected and just you know telling you truth. Guys now this is what I feel like when people just come out especially men and they tell us how they are feeling. Then you know we just try to rubbish what they are saying and tell them to be men. And I feel like that's not the best way to approach this. And especially when we are talking about mental health issues. Like we should just listen to someone you know because mental health issues are a big problem. And I feel like we contribute to the spreading of this problem by not listening to people and just encouraging them. When all they need is just a word of encouragement. And uh. What do you mean? And you know. I remember when I was young. I was in the store. I don't know if it was a phone call. Yeah. But I think you know. You want to go through your stuff. Yeah. But I don't know how to speak. I don't have a platform. What platform? I don't know how to explain. Yeah. I can speak to people. Yeah. Encourage them. But you know there are people out there who can't do that. Kwaili. And you see. You had even mentioned that it's a point you contemplated suicide. I did. Three times. Three times? Maratat. Yeah. Korogasumunifrenikayakap. But now you know you are able to just convince yourself. This is not the way I want to go. At LG. It's a funny story. It's a funny story. It was like. You know what I did? Yeah. And I was drinking. Because I was alone. So I went to the hospital. And I went to my house. Good time I got a sugar extension flying. You know. And I'm like. And Korogasumunifrenikayakap. Yeah. Because I was drinking. I was not myself. I was alone. And Korogasumunifrenikayakuna. Luckily. I drank more than I needed to. I broke it. I passed out. Yeah. So you were not able to take. In the morning when I'm waking up. The poison in me ispiliote kakapet. In part. Yeah. So. Chiku meza sumu. But it was that. Shai bain, shai koroga. So na rakani leve ju. In my real consciousness. I didn't care. Sawa. Sihezi akiliangu zina bain meza sumu. So I had to get drunk first. Yeah. So kuna. Post me. Post me. Alko save my life. It literally did. Yeah. Yeah. Cause I got drunk. I blocked out. I was not able to take the poison. Yeah. After you put up that post. Did any members of the gospel industry reach out to you and talk to you? Is there anyone who did? You know at this point I was like. Yes there are few people who had tried to reach out to me. But at this point I didn't feel like anyone mattered in my life. So at me mo niya ni kuna lengat wat. Tukini call, tukini text. So I wouldn't know. So you respond. Kuna DM zeni uli pataza watu enyo. Kwan bia you know they are going through the same thing. Oh after the post. Yes. Oh too many. My God. Actually we are starting a mental health program. Yeah. That's nice. Yeah. Ya ni. Ku kongelisha tu ase na ku. Kua. Kua encourage on this. Ya ni. Kuna jia ni a mental let ni baya. It's tough ya. Nakuna watua zia and all kivyao. And get. So. I want to start a program where I can talk to these guys you know. Kus I've been there. Done that. Ya. I've been through a attempt of suicide. So. So na takatu kongena say ya ni wajwe. Kuna life. Na kuna. Kuna vilu neza jito kwa situationi hote in life. Ya ni pata. Ya. And you know you are going to do good at it because now you're not going to be telling people out of theory. It's not a story. It's not a story. It's something you've been through it. Exactly. What is that one mantra you're going you know to tell these people who are going through mental health issues. What is that one important mantra? Yo. Mu wa kupatia life. Evo tu. He has a purpose. Air life. Ya. Ya. Nami na kili ni kip. Nili di bilili. Munga umeni aka apu iwi ni mone kana na juli kana. Ya. Ii papas ni ni ni. Let me find my papas. Ya. In life. Kwa zile DMZ ni uli pata? What are some other cases you know that led to just them feeling depressed and just going through a hard time ni pesa relationship? Ui. Um relationships of course. Kulikuna family issues. Ya. Kuna career issues. Kuna. Ya ni it's all over the place. Ya ni kila mtu aka na tu iswi ake kivi ake. For me I can specify mine, but I was like whoa. Even job nizakufanyu komiji side. Ya toxic environment. A hundred percent. Ya so there's such situations. Ya. We just with this foundation takakujiwa ni aje tuta tuta tuta mentor ase aje. Ya. Now I mean I think right now you're better off just being able to express yourself on social media. Beda iliku sa idea yo kuji expressa takama there wa no negative reaction. Iliku sa idea ni pili ni piga. Ya. Ya cos guys were had both negative and positive. Ya for sure. Ya. Ya. Um insa idea mi personally cos I opened up. Ya. And people were like you know for a person to speak up like that. Especially a man. A public figure. Ya a public figure. A man in a public figure to speak up. That's that's why no job at olympia congratsana. Ya. But una joa piya kuna aso alukua like anyone home ni ni zunongia cos social media. Then sa idea farm pier ona sema ni aje zunongia. Ntweibisha. Ntweibisha. Ntweoma. Ya. But you know me I'm always a believer of like you know kuna sa idea kufikamali ni cos o ni kiji angusha ni kijinua yun shida angu. Ya. Amani fida angu. Um pata. Ya. So for me if you've not helped me you can't advise me. You can't tell me anything. Ya. Elji please talk to someone anaka pitiya sahi. Ya ni ako on the verge of losing hope right now. Na anaku watch. Ebu mongelisha. Well yo, me ni mefika place ni me lose hope. Ni me lose ya ni ni me lose my life in my mind but it's a lose life kwa hat ma pata. So maze it's always it's mentality ma pata. So una go through issues kwa life kwa relationship kwa family kwa career kwa job kwa man I'm a woman I'm a lady I'm a girl I'm a boy it's it's for you to reset your mind ma pata. I had to go back there ya ni li haveku reset kwa zmini li kwanisha pata e pitiya elji ma sayi ni msana Julikana ni msani everyone knows their name musics jini ni no pata ma ni kwa ineto factory settings restore back to factory settings kwa sama neza juwa jai pressure life na watu ju watu na oku pressure juya too much expectation and pata ni for me it was too much expectation for me guys didn't understand why I am not a billionaire yet they see me on TV every day ya and understand takini wajiki tiko behind me nwaja bi impia kuna kuna vitu mings nga go through kuna management kuna ni ni before you get to that point all these things behind me you have to work out before you can get to become that billionaire you want to see that can help you kwa wana takaku sa idea kwa luangu so man just mental health is very important stick to your goal stick to your ya ni kitu tagete akum stick to it na let nothing come in between just your drive your passion and everything you know just
