The Kenyan music fraternity is witnessing a profound moment of solidarity as singer Iyanii publicly pledged his support for fellow artist Willy Paul better known as Pozee, following the recent vandalism of his liquor store business.
The incident, which saw the destruction of property at Willy Paul’s establishment, has drawn concern from across the entertainment scene, but Iyanii’s response stands out for its specific and practical commitment to aid.
Iyanii made his intentions clear in a bold statement, declaring he is ready to commit financially to help his colleague recover from the loss.
“I am ready to support Pozee, aweke Paybill,” he stated, during an interview with Spm Buzz, translating to, “I am ready to support Pozee, let him set up a Paybill.”
A Call for Collective Action
Iyanii’s suggestion to use a Paybill number indicates a desire not just for personal contribution, but for collective action from fans and well-wishers.
By proposing a public fundraising mechanism, he is calling on the wider Kenyan public, including fans and other celebrities, to chip in and help Willy Paul rebuild his vandalized business.
The use of a Paybill is a familiar and effective digital tool in Kenya for quick fundraising, making the offer immediately actionable.
The willingness of a prominent figure like Iyanii to step forward and openly offer tangible help sends a powerful message about professional brotherhood, regardless of past rivalries or differing musical styles.
It emphasizes that beneath the spotlight and competition, there is a fundamental understanding of the challenges faced by entrepreneurs in the entertainment sector.
Resilience and Rebuilding
Willy Paul has, in recent times, been channeling his creativity into various entrepreneurial ventures, with the liquor store being one of his high-profile investments.
The vandalism was seen as a significant setback, but Iyanii’s gesture provides a silver lining—the promise that the business can bounce back stronger with community support.
Should he accept, this collective effort would not only help him financially but also serve as a public declaration of resilience against malicious acts, demonstrating the power of unity within the Kenyan entertainment landscape.
