Mkamburi Chigogo: Someone is lying to girls in Kenya that they can DJ
By Paulette Mboga, January 21, 2026Radio host Mkamburi Chigogo has criticised the growing trend of people claiming they can teach girls to DJ in the country.
Speaking on Instagram on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, she said the trend is misleading and that many aspiring DJs are being set up for failure.
“Somebody somewhere is lying to the Huns that they can DJ in this country. Somebody comes and deceives the huns that they can learn to DJ …aiii you will kill us,” she said.
Mkamburi added that proper DJing is about skill and timing, not just appearances or videos online.
“The thing about listening to a proper DJ set mix is whether I am watching…minus all that shebang of there is a video, somebody is looking like a slay queen with other slay queens behind there cheering on and trying to dance and all that nonsense. Things are just…the transition is not transitioning,” she explained.
She questioned those teaching aspiring DJs without proper expertise, saying they should be held accountable.
“Who is this lying to girls out here? They need to be arraigned,” she said.
The rise of fashion models turning DJs
Mkamburi’s comments come amid attention on social media influencer Winnie Njenga, who has recently made a career shift from fashion modelling to DJing. Winnie Njenga, once known for her striking presence in the fashion industry, is now turning heads for her talent behind the DJ deck.
In her video, Mkamburi used the hashtag #winniengenja. Though it does not read Winnie Njenga, but Winnie Ngenja.
Winnie Njenga’s transition from fashion to DJing marks a bold move and shows her growing interest in exploring new creative spaces. While she made her name through modelling and brand work, she has always had a strong connection to music.
Her move into DJing allows her to engage audiences more interactively and energetically. She explained that DJing gives her a chance to express herself beyond visuals and embrace a more hands-on form of creativity.
Mkamburi Chigogo’s warning expresses the need for proper training and mentorship for aspiring DJs in Kenya. Her critique, combined with Winnie Njenga’s successful transition, shows the difference between genuine talent and online hype. As more people look to DJing as a career, skill and dedication matter more than appearances.
