The name on everyone’s lips in East Africa right now is D Star, thanks to his explosive hit “Hozambee.” But beneath the surface of his sudden fame, there’s a jaw-dropping reality – D Star is still living on the streets!
D Star’s meteoric rise began when “Hozambee,” also known as “Shifura,” caught fire on TikTok. The song’s infectious beat has led to millions of plays and countless viral dance challenges, making it a regional anthem. Even music heavyweight Mudra couldn’t resist remixing the track, further solidifying its status as a club banger.
Despite his rapid ascent to stardom, D Star’s life remains far from glamorous. In a revealing interview on Crux Xclusive, he laid bare his ongoing struggles. “Even if I made it big, I wouldn’t forget my friends on the streets,” he said, showing a level of loyalty that’s both surprising and heartwarming.
In a shocking twist, D Star admitted that he doesn’t rent a home or stay in luxurious accommodations – he still sleeps on the streets. “I am not renting anywhere; I sleep on the streets. Often we don’t even get the chance to sleep. We are always hustling. Life out here is really tough,” he revealed, painting a stark picture of his day-to-day reality.
D Star’s dedication to his street family is nothing short of inspiring. “If I ever make it financially, I yearn to change the lives of my fellow street kids before I leave the street life to settle for a better life elsewhere,” he vowed, underscoring his deep sense of community. “We always share the little we have. That, for me, is true happiness.”
This candid revelation adds a raw and emotional layer to D Star’s journey from obscurity to fame. While he’s capturing hearts and climbing charts, his story is a stark reminder of the resilience and solidarity found on Kampala’s streets. As “Hozambee” continues to dominate, fans are hopeful that D Star’s success will eventually translate into a better life for him and his street family.
