Life in the public eye comes with a great deal of pressure. And veteran singer Nameless admits the weight of expectation can affect celebrities.

Mid-last month, Kenyans in diaspora accused comedian David the Student of conning them of their hard-earned money.

Speaking on the issue of David the student, MC Jessy says that "hio ni shida ya kujiekelea".

Answering the question on why David the student would con people of their money, Jessy says,

"Reality is everything. You don’t have to have a social media life to survive. Kama wewe ni mtu wa mutura kula mutura. No one cares. Mi naishi life yangu huku Kinoo. When I realized that I, nikasema hakuna pressure."

Evans Otieno, who is also a victim of the comedian’s con games says taking him to court will take a long time for it to be resolved.

I DON’T THINK THAT TAKING HIM TO COURT WILL ARREST THE SITUATION, FIRST AND FOREMOST FOLKS HERE ARE BUSY FOR ANYONE TO GO THAT ROUTE, THE BEST FOR HIM IS TO GO BACK TO WHERE HE CAME FROM AND FACE IT AT HOME SINCE PEOPLE ARE ALERT OF HIM NOW.

Defending himself, the comedian said: "I take full responsibility and I am ashamed. There's so much pressure being on TV to live a certain life but in real sense it's crazy. Comedy in Kenya doesn't pay."

Now, Nameless has chimed in on the saga. Commenting on the issue, Nameless said he, too, felt the pressure to live up to his name at the start of his career.

"You have to decide from the start what kind of person you want to be. The more fake you are the more pressure you will have, so it is better to just keep it real," he advised.
