15 Kenyan Celebrities That Haven’t Gone Past High School Yet They Swim In Millions. They Will Make You Regret Why You Sweated Your Behinds Studying (Photos)
These celebrities have reversed the common notion that education is the cut-off for living life in the fast lane. They have achieved so much with the few certificates at their disposal.
They may be considered academic dwarfs but they are definitely giants in different realms of life, one which matters the most.
The number of academic credentials one has heaped on themselves doesn’t count if they don’t have guap. Money rules the world, anything less of it is widely considered failure.
This list illuminates Kenyan celebrities that are flourishing in their endeavors yet they have little to show as far as education is concerned.
1. Chipukeezy
Ushering us in is none other Chipukeezy. Arguably the funniest comedian in the 254 after Churchill and Eric Omondi.
Chipu is in his twenties yet he has already ‘made it’ by Kenyan standards. Apart from his hilarious jests that made a name for him, he is also a presenter with Kenya’s leading urban radio station, Kiss FM.
His education background, nothing visual on the radar in as far as higher learning is involved.
2. Jaguar
Culprit number 2 is Jaguar. He is the richest musician in the country, Prezzo’s fanatics will squabble over this fact.
Jaguar recently landed a lucrative white-collar job even though his education profile is still blurred.
Larry Madowo recently ran an article on Daily Nation waxing lyrical about Jaguar, he says he may not be fluent with the Queen’s language but he certainly conquers with his music.
3.Redsan
Even though the spotlight is slowly fading out on him, Redsan is still living a life most learned fellows only dream of.
The ragga singer has no degrees to flaunt but don’t dare challenge him to show off his cash because he has plenty!
4. Huddah Monroe
Ahem! This one needs no introduction. She has no papers to show but academic giants will have to part with a considerable chunk of cash to bed her.
Not my words, the Seeker Of Truth exposed her for taking part in the world’s oldest profession and the staggering amount she charges her clients.
What Huddah makes from her job, to say the truth, most University graduates will die never inching a step closer.
5. Octopizzo
Kibera’s finest export hasn’t accomplished much education-wise but his bank statement is certainly handsome.
Octo has gone through hell to make it to life in the fast lane. He is one chap who has defied all odds to excel.
6. Kenrazy
I have heard guys say he is pursuing a degree in… Is it aeronautical engineering! That was like a decade ago after seating for his KCSE at St. Mary’s School Yala.
Whether true or not, I HIGHLY doubt if the rapper has papers to prove this. Even so, Kenrazy is not poor, not at all.
If the ninja can afford to fly his entire family to the coast for holiday that just tells you his pocket is heavy.
7. Colonel Mustafa
This dude is synonymous with controversies. He loves it when folks talk about him for all the wrong reasons.
Mustafa may be the king of scandals but he also leads on the list of ‘academic dwarfs.’
He definitely swam in millions during his heydays in the game, but now, I can’t really tell.
8. Nonini
The godfather of Genge has already secured a place for himself in the seventh heaven. Nonini is successful by all definitions.
Not much is known about his education though, seems details touching on that were forgotten to be included on his profile on Wikipedia.
9. Marya
She couldn’t bulge to pressure to leave her man simply because Salma Mbuvi says she is a side dish to her aunt’s hubby.
Marya’s beau lives and works in Dubai, that tells you she isn’t struggling to make ends meet like some degree holders.
Talking about degree, Marya is yet to flaunt any.
10. Juliani
“…Ngumu kwangu, kizungu fluent, but hauwezi command umati na influence…” Part of Juliani’s lyrics for his hit ‘Exponential Potential.
Just like he says, kizungu si mdomo yake. Juliani has no papers to boast of but moola, he has plenty.
He rubs shoulders with academic giants thanks to his success.
11. Willy Paul
He substituted education for music after seating for his KSCE exams. (Many people still doubt whether he actually sat for the exams.)
Willy Paul is definitely reaping big from his music career than he would ever have were he to pursue a degree in whichever course.
12. Kaligraph Jone
Where did he get his American accent from? Kayole’s finest is fluent in English but not much is known about his education, as in higher education.
I hear he learnt his ngoso from some mzungu friends of his from Donholm!
13. Daddy Owen
The King of Kapungala is a millionaire. Safaricom brand ambassadors don’t get paid peanuts!
Plus he has sufficiently milked his career to make a visible change in his life.
Daddy Owen has no degrees to show off!
14. Bahati
The gospel singer is another celebrity that is living big from the sweat of his music career.
Education isn’t putting food on his table. He hasn’t gotten any degree yet!
15. Jimwat
Last but not least is genge rapper, Jimwat. He started rapping from a tender age, limelight hindered him from pursuing higher education.
He raked in serious money during his time as one of the industry’s heavyweights.
