Peterondiba He really needs help so sad to watch and it must be even harder for his loved ones Mungu amusaidie such a talent
𝐓𝐢 𝐌𝐚𝐮 the only thing naeza question is his upbringing. Na kama alwaga analishwa viboko juu ya ustardom
Ñåkürü G Just curious why are Kenyan actors suffering out here don't they get paid Ati this is Baken caught stealing enyewe life si ya mama yako
Metroboomin By now i was thinking this guy 'Baken' was loving posh life kumbe its vice versa,hapa in embakasi he was also caught stealing ,Entertainment industry imemuachilia buana,he was/is talented
JUMA Ndio msee kama baken aanze wizi things must be tough. It's time for actors and creatives in Kenya to build a solution. Baken was such a great talent we lost that talent even before it reached its prime
