DJ Arika has addressed viral rumors about his mental health after a video showed him appearing disoriented in public. The Kenyan entertainer clarified that he is fine and described the incident as persecution, urging fans not to believe false claims circulating online.


Popular entertainer DJ Arika from Nairobi has been the center of online attention after a video surfaced showing him appearing disoriented while walking near a matatu. The clip, which quickly went viral, left many fans worried about his well-being.

In the footage, Arika is seen pacing around a matatu, looking visibly unsettled. A fan who spotted the DJ on the street captured the moment, saying they were alarmed by his behavior.
