During an exclusive interview with MondayBlues —for the first time — Prezzo opened the lid on his troubled marriage, his love affair with former model Joy Wanjohi and his two-year old baby Zahrie.

"Zahrie is a buddle of joy. She is the first love of my life. She keeps me going," Prezzo remarked.

During the interview, the rapper was accompanied by his new flame, Joy, with whom he has now settled down with — after his marriage with Daisy Kiplangat went to the rocks.

"I don’t like talking about (my) marriage woes. It is nothing new. Daisy is just fine and her parents are cool with me and Zahrie. I am providing Zahrie with the best life I can offer her and that, to me, matters most," Prezzo quipped.

It has been six months since Prezzo and Joy, a celebrated fashionista, declared they are an item. It is not yet clear if the rapper and his wife Daisy still live together. Recently, the 4 Show 4 Shizzo singer showed up at a public function with his estranged wife and insisted that they were still an item.

"Joy is an amazing person. She is beautiful. We are happy together," Prezzo said, when asked whether the two planned to take their love affair to the next level.

"It is public knowledge that we are in love. There is a way that time puts things in the right place. We will cross that bridge when we get there."
