Sauti Sol’s first female signee Crystal Asige who featured on their latest hit song ‘Extravaganza’ went through one of the worst things a female can ever go through, especially a handicapped one.
The songbird who is still floating from the wide recognition Sauti Sol has granted her announced the news on her Instagram.
The life of an artist has completely different hours compared to that of a typical human. This is due to the fact that they have shows going into the early hours of the morning, not forgetting rehearsals and interviews. She narrated the horrific ordeal she underwent yesternight that left her shaking and traumatized.
She reported that the Uber she was riding in on her way from work had a very scary man who tried to attack her at the end of the night. She luckily escaped with her dear life but the memory of the ordeal is forever ingrained in her memory.
She was shaken but she managed to remember the name, car type and number plate of her attacker’s car warning other’s on her page to beware.

Life as a celebrity is hard enough, trying to maneuver around fans, but as a handicapped celebrity must be harder and twice the work. The beauty who has a powerful voice lost her sight a few years after she was diagnosed with degenerative eye disease glaucoma as a teenager. Crystal says the condition has taught her to live by faith, not by sight, to be fearless and to stay humble.
She has defied her odds and worked with the deck of cards she was dealt with. Before her appearance on Sauti Sol’s song, the beauty had worked in the music entertainment scene for about ten years, both locally and internationally. She has made a name for herself in the UK where her song ‘Pulled under’ climbed to the number one spot on a UK-based chart in 2016.
Crystal has been a speaker and VIP (visually impaired person) ambassador. She shares aspects of her daily life as a visually impaired person on her YouTube channel ‘Blind Girl Manenos’.
Last night must have been cursed as Crystal isn’t the only one who got attacked. Tanzanian Bongo Flava veteran TID wrote about his unfortunate ordeal with majambazi who showed him nothing but cruelty and he has the scars to show.
He shared a bloody photo to show the extent of his injuries.
He is currently in hospital following the attack by unknown people. A clip has now emerged showing the fight between the singer and the goons. Apparently, the singer went back to the goons and got another serious beating which left him in hospital.
