“I Was Broke”, Kwesta Details Financial Challenges When His First Child Was Born

“I Was Broke”, Kwesta Details Financial Challenges When His First Child Was Born. The beginning of this month had a little bit of good news when Kwesta and his wife Yolanda revealed they were expecting child number 2. The first child they have together is 7 year old Khai.

Speaking of his journey Kwesta revealed in detail how difficult things were when his daughter was born. The Ngud’ rapper recalls being broke and being unable to provide for his woman and child.

“When Khai was born my world was a mess. It was 2012, I shot the Boomshakala video in Cape Town, days after her birth. A month later, we went on THT(The Hangover Tour) with Cashtime Fam… A real tour! Like, we didn’t go to shows on the weekend and come back during the week… We were GONE! That shit ended in Jan and I came back home having had a life changing experience and no money,” wrote the platinum selling artist.

He added: “Khai’s first year was confusing AF. I had become a father and that made me happy but I was broke too. I barely scored a show and when I did, that had to pay people who contributed to DaKAR which I was piecing together with the gents.

“I remember Yolanda got money from her aunt or something just to be able to have a little celebration for her 1st birthday. I almost didn’t even show up.. The shame of not just being broke but being a broke Kwesta almost got the better of me. I vowed to never put Yo or Khai in a situation of dire need like that ever again… Still working on it but all that shit motivated me.. Yo motivated me.. Khai motivated me.”

As he await the birth of his second child, Kwesta still says his world is still a mess but he is willing to push for his family’s comfort.

“This year we are expecting our second child and guess what… My world is a mess. The future is under threat and IM THE HAPPIEST MAN ALIVE, all at the same time(the new music will clarify) It’s not 2012 though. I will not place the burden of being motivated on Yo, Khai or Putsununu.

“I’m getting off the boot of this vintage masterpiece and I’m headed straight to Grindville. Been a tough 2020 but I’m MUCH tougher,” he concluded.
