Last April, she was forced to self-quarantine for 14 days to be sure she did not contract Covid-19 after being stuck in the US for some days due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus.

She went into isolation on March 22, immediately on landing back in the country from a working trip in the United States of America.

During her 14-day isolation, the DJ revealed that it was a very difficult time for her because she could not see and interact with her daughter.

The nationwide night curfew that has been in place for almost a year has changed the entertainment scene greatly, with many forced to adapt to avoid Covid-19 infections.

Last month, President Uhuru Kenyatta ordered all bars and restaurants to close and banned all social gatherings including in-person meetings and sale of alcohol in social joints in five zoned counties.
