Known more for his attention courting shenanigans, unhealthy dalliance with the law, and vile display of strangely accrued wealth than for his music, singer Ringtone Apoko has sought to allay concerns over his source of flamboyance.

Dismissing claims of illegal dealings, Ringtone told Kamene and Jalas that he made most of his wealth from visiting schools and selling CDs. He would make up to Sh500,000 a week, he said.

“You want to say the Government of Kenya is not working? That I would break the law and I am not arrested? Those are just jealous people who do not want to use their heads,” he scoffed at detractors.

“I am an artist who uses his brain. Jalas I met you 10 years ago when I used to tour 10 schools per week. Every school I would go [to] I got more than Sh500,000. Those are the people that gave me the money.”

Ringtone’s wealth includes luxurious cars, mansions in Runda and Karen. And in his characteristic hubris, he claimed another mansion will be complete in three weeks.

Ringtone said he had to push himself to perform in schools after falling out with big wigs in the music industry. He adds that his background inspired him to start visiting schools and use his story to motivate students to work hard and dream big.

“When my song Pamela was a big hit, I disagreed with the biggest event organizer of the gospel [music industry]. I became an outcast. I realized the only thing I could do is to tell the story of my life,” he said.

“My biggest problem now is which woman will I marry? Who can I entrust with [my] wealth? Many Kenyan women if you give them billions, it will be finished within a day.”

Perhaps that is why so disillusioned is he with Kenyan women that he sought to woo Tanzanian actress Frida Kajala famed for bedding Harmonize?

Kajala also warned the artiste against sending messages to her daughter Paula Kajala, who is currently dating Rayvanny.

“Nikome kunitumia messages na kumtumia mwanangu Paula Kajala. Wanaume wa Kenya sijui hawa wa yesu, shida huwa nini?’

Ringtone has also tried his charm on Socialite Zari Hassan but the South African based, Diamond Platnumz baby mama waved him off as an overzealous follower

“I don’t know Ringtone and I have never met him. This is actually news to me. I have over 3.9 million followers on Instagram and I wouldn’t know who follows me.”
