Tanzanian rapper and politician Joseph ‘Professor Jay’ Haule has revealed that his family sold off his properties while he was hospitalized and fighting for his life, leaving him to rebuild his wealth from scratch.

“I’m starting over. Since I got sick, my siblings sold most of my assets to save my life. I don’t regret it because the most important thing is that I’m alive today, even when the chances of survival were slim. You can always rebuild wealth,” the 48-year-old shared.

The former Mikumi MP explained that the sales were done without his knowledge, as his family made decisions on his behalf while he was incapacitated.

“I was unaware they were selling my properties. These decisions were made by my family since I spent most of my time in a vegetative state,” he added.

Professor Jay fell critically ill at his home on January 24, 2022. His wife rushed him to Lugalo Military Hospital before his condition worsened, prompting a transfer to Muhimbili National Hospital, where he was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

He spent 462 days in the hospital battling kidney failure, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, among other ailments. During his treatment, he was unconscious for most of the time, relying on tubes for breathing, eating, and excretion.

Reflecting on his near-death experience, Professor Jay revealed that he spent 127 days in ICU and was told he had only a 40 percent chance of survival. In a moment of despair, he even attempted to end his suffering by removing his dialysis tubes. “I had lost all hope of living. I thought it was only a matter of time before I died,” he recounted in a previous interview.

As he continues to recover, the legendary rapper has announced his intention to run for the Mikumi MP seat in Tanzania’s 2025 general election. By then, he will have turned 50.

Professor Jay cried as he narrated his ordeal on Instagram;

“Mimi ni mmoja wa wahanga wa hili zoezi la kubomolewa nyumba zetu huku Mbezi Kimara Tarehe 29/9/ 2017.
Jana nikiwa katika majukumu jimboni Mikumi Majira ya saa kumi mbili hivi jioni, nilitaarifiwa kwamba, watu wa Tanroads wakiwa wameambatana na grader mbili na magari mawili ya polisi (defenders) yenye askari waliokuwa na silaha mbalimbali za moto walikuwa wanabomoa nyumba yangu. (sijawahi kuumia kiasi hiki ?) Nimesikitishwa sana jinsi Tanroads wanavyoweza kujichukulia maamuzi bila ya kujali mhimili muhimu wa Mahakama wametoa maagizo gani. ? Na taratibu zilizotumiwa kubomoa nyumba yangu bila ya mimi na Tanesco kupewa taarifa saa kumi na mbili jioni (haukuwa muda wa kazi) na kubomoa huku Umeme ukiwa unawaka ni kitendo ambacho kwanza kina hatarisha maisha ya wabomoaji wenyewe, maisha ya familia yangu pamoja na majirani zangu , LIMENISIKITISHA zaidi. Nasema hivi kwasababu Tanesco wamenipigia simu baada ya masaa 24 au zaidi baada ya zoezi la kubomoa nyumba kufanyika kunitaarifu kuja kukata Umeme kabla ya ubomoaji huo, pindi nilipo waambia kwamba mbona nyumba IMESHABOMOLEWA kabisa na sijaweza kuokoa kitu chochote na hata hiyo meter yenu mnayoiulizia mkaitafute kwenye kile kifusi cha nyumba yangu kilichokusanywa kwa pamoja na watu wa Tanroads. Tanesco walishangazwa sana kuvunjwa nyumba yangu kwa taratibu hizo.
Lakini naamini kila kitu kinatokea kwa sababu maalum. Nimejifunza kumtegemea Na kumshukuru Mungu kwa kila jambo. Na hili ni moja ya mitihani ya hapa duniani. Nimepokea na kumsikiliza Mungu ana mipango gani juu yetu katika familia yangu mbeleni. Tumelipokea na Naamini tutashinda ??,” Professor Jay wrote on Instagram.

 

Mbunge wa Mikuni Joseph Haule maarufu kama Professor Jay ni miongoni mwa watu ambao nyumba zao zimewekewa alama ya X kuashiria zipo katika hifadhi ya barabara.

Professor Jay amejenga jumba lake la kifahari pembezoni mwa barabara ya Morogoro maeneo ya Mbezi Luis, jijini Dar es Salaam.

Hivi karibuni Tanroads imetangaza kuwa muda wowote itaanza utekelezaji wa kubomoa nyumba zilizowekewa alama ya X katika barabara hiyo kupisha ujenzi wa barabara kubwa ya kisasa.

Professor Jay amefunguka kuhusu jumba lake kuwekwa alama ya kubomolewa;

“Wanasema kupanua ni meta 121.5 ni upana mkubwa sana na upande mkubwa sana na watu wengi wataarithirika na wataumia. Kwa sababu tunaamini haki inapatikana mahakamani ndio maana tukaenda kuweka zuio, kuangalia ni jinsi gani tunaweza kupata haki yetu ya msingi lakini kitu kikubwa tunachozidi kusisitiza hakuna mtu anayekataa kuhama kwa ajili ya maendeleo.

“Wengine tumejenga kwa muda mrefu sana, nakumbuka hii nyumba nimejenga kupitia muziki, unapata lakini mbili unatoa elfu hamsini unanunua misumari halafu laki na nusu unakula bata, kwa hiyo unapoona kwamba inabomolewa kwa siku moja na hakuna fidia serikali inatakiwa iangalia kwa jicho pevu,” Professor Jay ameimbia XXL ya Clouds FM.

 

Mbunge wa Mikumi Joseph Haule maarufu kama Professor Jay amefikisha hatma ya Diamond na wasanii wengine kataka Bunge la Tanzania.

Professor Jay alieleza bunge changamoto zinazowakumba wasanii aliposimama kuchangia mapendekezo yake katika bajeti ya Wizara ya Habari, utamaduni, sanaa na michezo kwenye bunge la Bajeti linaloendelea.

Alisema TRA na mamlaka zingine za serikali zinawanyanyasa wasanii kwa kuwatoza kodi na ada zingine ambazo wasanii hawazi kumudu.

“Juzi msanii Diamond alikua analalamika TRA wamempelekea kodi ya milioni mia nne, kwa hivyo unaweza ukajiuliza kwamba amekabiliwa milioni mia nne kwa kiasi gani alichoingiza. Lakini dangozi ambazo zinafanyika munaweza mukaona kwamba sasa hivi wasanii wanabanwa, TRA wanatamani kuvuna kutoka kwa wasanii kitu ambacho bado hawajakibandikiza,” Professor Jay aliambia bunge.
