The Djs have also united to urge Kenyans to pray for Evolve who has currently been hospitalized after sustaining a gunshot injury.
Speaking to Mpasho, Dj Evolve’s mother revealed that her son is currently undergoing a spinal operation and he is too weak.

In a statement issued by Babu Owino, he described the incident as an assassination attempt and invited authorities to conduct their investigations.
