Yet another Gengetone artist has come out to plead for help from Kenyans after things went south in his life.
Shalkido, former member of the once sensational Gengetone group Sailors Gang has had enough of suffering and decided seek help.
The artist, through his Insta-stories updates on Monday, August 25, 2025, pleaded with Kenyans to help him get back on his feet so that he can take care of his young family.

According to Shalkido who is now a father, he has tried everything to support his family in vain hence the decision to cry for help.
“As a Kenyan artist and a father, nimefika mwisho. I’ve tried my very best to support my family but everything goes south,” he said.
Ifikie Eric Omondi
Shalkido urged Kenyans to help him spread his plea so that it can get Eric Omondi ‘s attention.
He noted that all he needs is just an avenue to make money to enable him support his family.
Shalkido insisted that the help should not necessarily be in form of cash but he will be happy with a motorbike which he can use to make money, sustain his life and family.
“I am really humbled to ask my fellow Kenyans to help me share this post ifikie Eric Omondi. Eric Omondi I am really humbled Kuomba support yako. Nikipata hata bike ya kuanza hustle to support my family again I will be much greatful sir. Naomba tu munisaidia imfikie. Nimefika mwisho kama mzazi,” he added.

Gengetone Curse?
It should be noted that he is not the first Gengetone artist to come out to plead for help after going broke.
Some months back, Boondocks Gang’s Maddox suffered the same predicament.
Kenyans, including fellow celebrities came out to offer support but the artist turned down several offers including rehab.
Maddox even turned down YouTuber Oga Obinna’s help going to rehab after a video emerged of him allegedly living on the streets.
Speaking in an interview with Kenya Media Online, Madoxx shut down claims that he was battling any addiction and affirmed that he was okay.
In his words:
“I am not addicted; I am okay. I do not need to go to any rehab. I am not a fan of dr_gs; maybe they were using me. But I do not like using them. I do not want to use any, including alcohol. Right now unless I am the water ambassador.”
He clarified that he was on the streets because he was not getting his cut and recalled a time when other Boondocks members would be paid, but he would not.
