On The Play House web series, Prezzo revealed how he battled depression after his high-profile wedding in 2008. The 38-year-old reality TV actor had a star-studded wedding with Daisy (Mama Zari) and moved into a luxurious penthouse, but his marriage was short-lived.
After their separation in 2012, Prezzo fell into depression, staying indoors for almost a year. He relied on his bodyguard to bring him food and other necessities, and he rarely left the house. It was a difficult time for the Mafans rapper, who was slowly descending into depression.
Prezzo's life took a dramatic turn when he received a phone call from Maina Njenga's associate, asking him to meet with the former Mungiki leader at his home in Karen. Prezzo was hesitant at first, but he eventually agreed to meet with Maina. The two men discussed Prezzo's role in the Mungiki sect, and Maina asked him to become a youth leader. Prezzo accepted the responsibility and served in the role for nine years.
During his time with Mungiki, Prezzo was involved in several high-profile incidents, including a teargas attack in Limuru. He was arrested along with Maina, but the two men remained close. Prezzo's story is a testament to the complexities of his life and the challenges he has faced.
