Kenyan singer Bahati has once again demonstrated his generosity through his Bahati Cares initiative, this time coming to the aid of Maddoxx, a former member of the popular Gengetone group Boondocks Gang, who has been facing severe personal challenges.
Maddoxx’s Struggles Come to Light
Maddoxx’s plight became public after reports surfaced that he had gone three days without food. In an emotional video, the rapper revealed the hardships he has endured, including hunger, lack of a stable place to stay, and the stress of surviving without management support after leaving his former residence in Kosovo.
He admitted to battling constant stress and anxiety, explaining how uncertainty about his next meal or where he would sleep pushed him back toward old habits in search of stability. “Sometimes I don’t know what to do or where to stay,” he said, describing the weight of his struggles.
Bahati Steps In
Touched by Maddoxx’s situation, Bahati quickly intervened. He began by treating the rapper to a hearty meal of chicken and pizza—foods Maddoxx had not eaten in months. He then accompanied him to a supermarket, purchasing groceries and other essential items to provide immediate relief and restore a sense of dignity.
Overwhelmed by the gesture, Maddoxx expressed his gratitude through prayer and song, before humbly asking Bahati for support in returning to the recording studio. “At least I have something to eat,” he remarked, highlighting the direct impact of the assistance.
Public Reactions
The video documenting the encounter quickly circulated online, sparking a range of reactions. Many applauded Bahati for his kindness and compassion, emphasizing the significance of offering immediate aid to someone in need. Others expressed skepticism, questioning whether the gesture was motivated by publicity. Some added humor, commenting on the scale of the support.
Despite the mixed opinions, the majority of fans recognized the positive difference Bahati’s act had made in Maddoxx’s life.
A Reminder of Compassion
Regardless of the debates, Bahati’s intervention provided Maddoxx with more than just food and basic necessities—it gave him renewed hope and a chance to regain his footing. The singer’s timely assistance serves as a reminder of the importance of compassion within the entertainment community, and how a single act of generosity can offer light in someone’s darkest moments.
