This Kenyan Celeb Has Been Quietly Building A Massive Business Empire

Syd is one of the unsung superstars of Kenyan showbiz. He’s been in the game since way back, boasting collabos with legends such as K-Rupt(with whom he sang “Chacha”), Hottie(with whom he sang “African Bam Bam“), and more recently, Wyre(with whom he sang “Guardian Angel“) and his latest song “Replay:”

But what most people don’t know about Syd is that apart from music, he has been toiling away behind the scenes, building a million-shilling gas business. Syd is the CEO of Kamikazi Enterprises, a company that deals in the essential cooking gas distribution industry. He started the company two years ago and with only 3 gas cylinders. “This is the reason as to why I had gone silent on music because building such an empire took up most of my time,” Syd says. “I have 7 employees. We intend to be the first 24 hour gas suppliers bringing convenience to our customers.”

Kamikazi’s expansive network gives them the ability to supply gas all over from Mombasa road, Langata, Karen, Lavington, Kileleshwa, Kilimani, Hurlingham, Westlands, Upper Hill and even high-end corporate clientele such as the Village Market.

As for music, Syd has not left that out of his plans. Now that he has his biz in check, he is set to release a brand new single with one of Uganda’s biggest artists, Jackie Chandiru of “Gold Digger” fame. Keep it locked for when that song will come out…
