DJ Pierra roasted for ‘suspicious’ deejaying during Jamhuri Day celebrations
Kenyan DJ Pierra Makena is at the center of online criticism after she was video-taped deejaying using a mixer not connected to the public address system, which was paying blaring music in the background during this year’s Jamhuri Day celebrations.
The entertainer was the DJ of the day during the celebrations, which were presided over by President Uhuru Kenyatta at Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi on Wednesday.
In a video posted on her Instagram account, the DJ is seen dancing while spinning the turn table in a manner suggesting that she was enjoying the music titled Kenya Taifa Letu which was playing from her device.

But when the video found its way to social media, hawk-eyed online users wondered why Ms Makena was “lying” to people that she was the talent behind the entertainment, yet the connections on her deejaying system sold her out.
However, the mother of one has since responded to her critics.
“We did the patriotic song as the president came in which was being performed by the band I killed my levels for the band. Please carefully note I am using controllers which only need the two connections as circled…. anyone who knows this can help Anyone saying my equipment was not connected,” she explained.
“People thought my career will die when I become a mom but clearly when God says yes no one can say no,” she added.
Still, Kenyans on Twitter couldn’t stop trolling her.
