Veteran rapper Jackson 'CMB Prezzo' Ngechu has opened up about his struggle with fame. The 44-year-old, who shot into the limelight in 2004 when he launched a music career that ushered in an era of musical flamboyance in the country, reveals how fame negatively impacted his life. "With fame comes a lot of hullabaloo, ups and downs, distractions, women, drugs, you name it. I am not going to say that I have never done drugs. I smoke weed from time to time. I used to do the yayo drug, but as time went on, I got control of my situation. There are drugs that I used and lost myself and never touched again after I sobered up." Prezzo confesses. Yayo is a slang term for the illegal drug cocaine, which has several other slang including nose candy, coke, rock, and snow, among others. On beating his drug addiction, Prezzo says his strong mentality helped him from falling into the drug abyss. "I've done drugs before but one thing I thank my God for is that I've never been to a rehab center and that's because I have a strong mindset. You shouldn't let the drugs control you.  I controlled the drugs, I didn't let the drugs control me. I would do the drugs and if I have to be at work at 8 o'clock, I will be at work. I went to Big Brother Africa (in 2012) and stayed there for 90 days and I was okay because the only drugs you could get there were cigarettes and booze," he adds. For Prezzo, drug abuse is only a fraction of his struggle with fame. He also had to overcome depression when his highly publicized marriage fell apart. Prezzo married his ex-wife, Diasy Kiplagat, in 2008 at a time when he was at the height of his music career, but the marriage lasted only three years. When Diasy filed for divorce in 2012, he accused the rapper of being a violent drug user and adulterous.  Prezzo, who says he regrets spending Sh4.5 million on the wedding, apportions blame to fame but is quick to boast of how he has turned his life around and also thank God for seeing him through. "I was shot in the head at close range (by thugs) but I am still here. I overdosed on cocaine and was in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit) of Nairobi Hospital for a week, but I am still here. I got stabbed in the back while studying in Canada, but I am still here. When I sit back and ask myself why is God giving me all these opportunities, I believe that God put me here for a reason."

THOMAS TUCHEL has reportedly SIGNED to become the new England manager – and he could be announced as soon as THIS WEEK!

The former Chelsea boss has been out of work since left Bayern Munich at the end of last season.

Lee Carsley took over as interim Three Lions manager following Gareth Southgate’s departure following the Euro 2024 final.

And now Tuchel’s appointment by FA chiefs is said to be imminent.

Most people trust their friends with their deepest secrets. 

Unfortunately, one woman discovered the hard way that this isn’t always wise after her best friend spilled her secret to her daughter.

A mum has found herself in a tough decision after her affair secret got exposed[/caption]

The mum, who wishes to remain anonymous, confided in an “older woman” about her affair.

Now, she finds herself in a tough spot and has turned to the online forum Mumsnet for advice. 

She wrote: “I would appreciate some advice. I confided in an older woman that I was having an affair.” 

The mum explained that she trusted her friend completely, as the friend was married to a “serial cheat” and had multiple lovers over the years.

She continued: “I trusted her completely as she was the wife of a serial cheat and had herself many lovers over the years. 

“To cut a long story short, she became enraged over an incident she believed I was involved in without hearing my side and called my 16-year-old daughter, telling her everything. 

“All my deepest, darkest secrets. 

“She also embellished quite a lot, making my daughter distraught.

“I’ve talked with my daughter and told her the truth on most matters. My husband doesn’t know, but I fear he suspects and will find out. Maybe this woman will tell him as well?”

In her plea for advice, the mum is grappling with the fallout of her friend’s betrayal and the potential impact on her family.

She continues: “Why would a woman in her mid 70’s do this wicked thing to a young girl?

“What should I do? Btw [by the way] she blocked me on all forms of communication. 

“Do I confess (the affair has been over for two years now)? 

“Or do I damage control by remaining silent?

“I’m guilty and horrible for allowing this to happen but my marriage of over 28 years has been sexless for almost 14 years. 

“No excuse I know. Do I confess and run the risk of divorce or do I remain silent and pray I can make this go away?”

If you are not apologetic, then don’t apologise. Tell your truth

Mumsnet comment

The post gained lots of attention from other parents with many rushing to the comments section to share their thoughts. 

One suggested: “You must tell your DH (darling husband), because if you don’t then that burden is on your daughter’s shoulders.”

Another added: “You can not leave your daughter with the burden of knowing this and keeping it secret from her dad. 

“That will be incredibly emotionally damaging.

“You are going to have to put your daughter first and confess everything to your oh.”

A third wrote: “Consider booking a counselling appointment for you and your darling husband.

“Tell him there. Tell him the basics only, and that you wouldn’t have raised it but for the recent events and that your DD [darling daughter] knows. 

“Be honest, and make your apologies if you must. If you are not apologetic, then don’t apologise. Tell your truth. 

Unless you’ve been there, be careful about hooking your judgy pants too high

Mumsnet comment

“I’d be saying ‘frankly, I assumed we were both playing away after 14 sexless years and that we had an unspoken agreement that the main thing was not hurting anyone and keeping a joint home life for DD. 

“I am truly sorry that my actions have now led to hurt for you, and DD.

“Not getting s**, connection, intimacy and your partner refusing to engage about it is awful. 

“Unless you’ve been there, be careful about hooking your judgy pants too high.”
