Joseph Onyango better known as Onyi Jalamo the hit-maker of Tibim Song is alive and kicking.

His confirmation comes after rumours emerged that he had been shot dead.

Jalamo admitted the news on social media affected him.

“I started receiving calls that I was dead, in fact I exchanged bitter words with some people who were calling and sending condolences. Someone could call and ask are you alive? And I have picked the call already”, he said, adding, “When I reached home from Nairobi where I had gone to perform, I found many people at our home mourning, it was disturbing”, he added.

Jalamo clarified that he has not received a penny despite politicians using his song for campaigns.

“I have not received cash from those who are using my song, none of the NASA principals has even called to give me something,” he said, adding he didn’t expect the song to be such a hit.

“Tibim is just the first song, I have eight more that I will be releasing soon. The video of the Tibim song will also be out soon,” he added.

He claims he wants to meet NASA presidential flagbearer Raila Odinga and share his frustrations with him.
