On July 9, 2021, Jaguar was hospitalized after undergoing surgery, which sparked a flurry of visits from celebrities. The reaction from the public and the media was intense, with many assuming the surgery was a high-risk procedure.
However, the reality was far from it. The surgery was routine, and the risks were minimal. Yet, the likes of DK Kwenye Beat, Bahati, DJ Mo, and P-Unit members flocked to visit Jaguar, with some even sharing photos of their visits on social media.
Starehe MP Jaguar seemed unbothered by the attention, but his demeanor changed when Deputy President Ruto visited. This contrast sparked curiosity among many, including the author, who wondered why these celebrities were so eager to visit Jaguar.
It appears that the celebrities saw an opportunity to gain access to Jaguar's inner circle, particularly in the context of the upcoming elections. By befriending Jaguar, they may be able to tap into his influence and potentially benefit from his campaign.
Jaguar, however, is not oblivious to their intentions. He has been seen looking distant and distracted in photos with the celebrities, suggesting that he is aware of their motivations.
As the author notes, 'You see, in political circles, most of the older politicians think of Jaguar as a link to the youth. He is an artist, and was somewhat popular during his career so perhaps he is the key to connecting with young voters.'
With the economy in shambles, celebrities may be looking for alternative sources of income, and Jaguar's influence could be a valuable asset. As the author concludes, 'And at the end of the day, with the way William Ruto and Uhuru Kenyatta have destroyed the economy, there aren’t that many avenues of income for them so they might aswell jump onto these ones.'
