Moses Ngige wrote on Twitter yesterday, "As Joyce wa Mamaa was celebrating her birthday last night at a popular joint along Kangundo road, unidentified woman sprayed her and other artists with unknown liquid that almost turned them blind."
Before adding;
"Apparently, the lady who splashed an itchy liquid to Joyce Wamamaa and other top Kikuyu musicians last night, had failed to secure a deal to Bake Wamamaa's Birthday Cake. Makasiriko Galore.."
Joyce was in the company of friends when a woman came at her. Joyce screamed during the attack as the liquid burned her face.
Speaking to Nation said that incident "Had left me and several of my colleagues shaken but [we are fine]”. I think we were panicky, but all is well now and my fans [have] nothing to fear.”
And what had been thrown, she responded: "It was a liquid and it was bitter in the eyes as well as corrosive on the skin."
But thankfully the liquid hadn't caused any damage and that her "eyesight is intact".
