Popular gospel couple DJ Mo and Size 8 have found themselves at the center of a heated online debate after claims emerged that they allegedly failed to clear a KSh 3 million payment for tiles supplied during the construction of their lavish home.
According to reports circulating online, the supplier delivered premium tiles for the couple’s mansion after allegedly reaching an agreement with them during the building process. The businessman now claims he has spent more than a year demanding payment without success, leaving his business struggling financially.
The allegations have triggered strong reactions from Kenyans on social media, with many sympathizing with the supplier. Some users argued that small business owners often suffer in silence after working with influential personalities who allegedly delay payments for months. Others questioned how celebrities can continue showcasing luxurious lifestyles online while suppliers reportedly struggle to survive.
The controversy has become even more sensitive because of the couple’s strong gospel and family image. Critics online have pointed out that public figures, especially those viewed as role models, should lead by example when handling financial obligations. Some netizens expressed disappointment, saying the matter paints a negative picture about how ordinary hustlers are treated behind the scenes.
However, supporters of the couple have urged Kenyans not to rush to judgment, arguing that there could be misunderstandings, incomplete agreements, or ongoing negotiations that are not yet public. They believe both sides deserve a fair hearing before conclusions are made.
As discussions continue online, the story has once again highlighted the growing concern over trust between celebrities and service providers in Kenya. Many now say public figures should be more accountable and transparent when doing business with ordinary Kenyans trying to earn an honest living.
