Spider Clan, famed for their viral track ‘Rieng Genje’ echoing with lyrics like ‘Cash crop ya Nyandarua ni Mawaru’, ‘Kaveve Kazoze‘, ‘unibebe hadi mbere ya kerende,’ has stunned fans with a distress call for help.

Despite their chart-topping success and a song that raked in millions of views, the musicians dropped a bombshell, admitting they haven’t pocketed a cent from their mega-hit.

They confessed that while the song skyrocketed to 4 million views, they were oblivious to the possibility of monetization until much later.

Adding to the shock, they revealed that the only beneficiary was the sound producer, leaving the talented artists empty-handed despite their relentless effort and creativity.

Disillusioned and struggling to dispel misconceptions of wealth, they clarified that the luxurious lifestyles seen online don’t match their actual living conditions.

“So, those saying we’re rolling in money because of the song, it brought us fame and a big name but no cash.“

In a jaw-dropping twist, they disclosed their disappointment with former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko, claiming promises made after a Mombasa show—including flight and accommodation—were left unfulfilled.

The group’s plea to club promoters for show invitations speaks volumes about their current plight.

Addressing a rift with comedian 2mbili, Ngesh, one of the members, revealed a strain in their relationship due to differing views on offered help.

The conflict, primarily centered on individual assistance rather than the collective crew’s welfare, soured their rapport.

Despite amassing over 4.2 million views globally in just six months, Spider Clan’s plea for support paints a stark contrast to their seemingly prosperous online presence, unraveling a shocking reality behind the scenes.

Ngesh who is the only lady in the group has been getting all the attention.

She got a makeover including a new wig and a face beat and some dental work. 

Photos of the new work showed a row of even teeth courtesy braces.

“It was so good to meet NGESH yesterday! You’re very talented and you’re a superstar! Im so honored to fund your first solo project audios and videos 100% na camera fiti ya kutesa hapa mnetiNi bidii # tag kujituma!!”

Members of the Spider Clan, representing Naivasha, arrived armed not just with their CVs but with a determination born from the harsh realities they face.

Life’s challenges have prompted them to take charge of their destinies rather than passively await the fulfillment of promises. They’ve embarked on a relentless job hunt to sustain themselves in these trying times.

“Maisha imekua ngumu” because even some promoters came on board but nothing.”

“We were even promised jobs, but see we even have our CVs here with us, we are job searching. Saa izi tuko chini mbaya,” the group divulged.

Their song ‘Kaveve Kazoze’ catapulted them to fame, turning Ngesh into a social media sensation showered with treats and gifts.

However, this meteoric rise was short-lived, evident in the group’s candid acknowledgment that they are currently facing challenging times: ““Saa izi tuko chini mbaya”.
