Dj Fatxo's past controversy & clearance
In the past, DJ Fatxo faced a cloud of suspicion linked to the death of interior designer Jeff Mwathi, who passed away in his Kasarani apartment under mysterious circumstances.
However, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) cleared him of any wrongdoing due to a lack of substantial evidence.
According to the singer’s lawyer Duncan Okatch, the DJ was cleared after investigations failed to link him with the 23-year-old designer’s death

The family of the deceased however, disowned the results of the probe, alleging that the DJ may have colluded with investigators to beat justice.
