The legendary rapper and entrepreneur MDQ (Muthoni the Drummer Queen) says she is personally 'happy and thriving'.
She is balancing motherhood with the significant growth of her festival, Blankets and Wine, which she envisages becoming a lasting "institution".
Despite her personal success, MDQ is highly critical of Kenya's current leadership, describing them as "hateful" and lacking in principles.
MDQ also addresses the speculation surrounding her wealth from B&W.
Born Muthoni Ndonga, she is known in the Kenyan entertainment scene as Muthoni the Drummer Queen, or MDQ for short. She is a legendary rapper and entrepreneur, as well as the pioneer of the popular urban festival Blankets and Wine (B&W), which has been running for 16 years.
"I have been good," she says, "If you can put aside everything that has been happening in our country. If you minimise that tab, we are doing quite well. I am happy and thriving. Motherhood is wonderful. Our business is growing and expanding. With B&W, we are now building an institution — things that I thought could never happen are actually happening.
