DJ Fatxo reveals how online backlash led him to Dr Sarah K’s Nairobi Cinema sermons
By Steve Ireri, December 4, 2025Kikuyu artiste DJ Fatxo has disclosed how the sustained online backlash he has faced in recent days pushed him to seek spiritual refuge at gospel minister Sarah K’s Nairobi Cinema sermons.
Speaking in a TikTok video on Thursday, December 4, 2025, the Mugithi singer said he recently decided to attend the service alone, something he said he had not done in years.
He explained that it had been so long since he visited Nairobi’s central business district without company that he struggled to remember his way around the city centre.
“Yesterday, I decided to attend Dr Sarah K’s service at Nairobi Cinema. I can’t remember the last time I was in Nairobi town alone without company, probably around 2019 or 2020. When I arrived, I was confused because I didn’t even remember where Nairobi Cinema was, but I had a hint that it was usually near Kenya Cinema, so I managed to find my way,” Fatxo said.
The artiste described being taken aback by the size of the crowd already gathered for the service. He said he had not expected to find long queues of worshippers waiting to enter the hall and noted that the turnout surprised him, especially because he had not witnessed such lines in the city centre for years.
“When I got there, I saw a long line of people queuing. The last time I saw people queuing in Nairobi was years ago, and it was just when people were trying to go home. I didn’t expect people to line up for Sarah K’s sermons. A guard helped guide me inside, and someone in the line who recognised me asked an usher to bring me in, even though I didn’t have a ticket,” he said.
Spiritual thirst
Fatxo then explained that he had attended the service out of deep spiritual thirst and a desire to reconnect with God after months of pressure and criticism online.
He described himself as becoming fully immersed in the session, saying the environment allowed him to express himself spiritually and to feel a renewed closeness to God.
He added that the recent woes he has faced had pushed him into seeking validation from people, something he now considers unhealthy and intends to avoid going forward.
“I am so thirsty for God, which is why I went. When I got inside, the session was at the moment of deep prayer. People were praying seriously. I prayed a lot, felt very close to God, and poured my heart out to Him. It was so relieving, especially because of how I have been persecuted online and left seeking validation from people. I’ve realised I should never seek validation from human beings again,” Fatxo added.
