Struggles of Shifura: From Viral Fame to Financial Hardship

Shifura, the video vixen who gained fame after featuring in musician D-Star’s viral song Hoozambe, is currently encountering serious financial challenges and is reaching out to supporters for help. Her troubles began after she ended her partnership with her management team, stating that she felt exploited as the reason for their split. In a recent interview, Shifura discussed the difficulties she’s facing, which include financial insecurity and the stresses of being a mother. “I am overwhelmed due to my child, overwhelmed due to rent. Firstly, when you’re not working, it becomes stressful,” she revealed. Shifura initially drew public attention for her stunning looks and charm in the Hoozambe music video, particularly during the viral dance challenge that featured her sitting on D-Star’s lap while he performed. This memorable moment greatly boosted her fame. However, her professional relationship with D-Star eventually deteriorated, and in July of this year, Shifura announced her intention to pursue a solo music career. Despite her attempts to forge her own way, D-Star made it clear that he had no intentions of collaborating with her again. “I don’t have plans to work with Shifura on any of my upcoming projects because it’s not ideal to feature the same vixen in all of my music videos,” D-Star stated. He further explained why she wasn’t included in his Kenyan music tour, saying, “I felt it was unnecessary to take a vixen along, just like other artists don’t bring their vixens with them everywhere.” Shifura voiced her frustration on TikTok, criticizing D-Star for excluding her from the tour and vowing to plan her own Kenyan music tour.
