Elvis Turasinze a Kenyan rapper
living in UK is making a name for
himself but not in a nice way.
Little is known about him here but
in his residential country his music
has proved unbearable, causing
irksome side-effects to his
neighbours.
The neighbours complained to the
council and Turasinze received 15
visits in 18 months from the council
to warn him about his music. He
received a total of 82 complaints!
After more than a year and a half of
complaints and a noise abatement
order that was repeatedly breached,
Turasinze found himself in court
where he was handed a three month
conditional discharge and sh16,635
(£1,000) fine.
As a result, he has been forced to
shut down his studio and move it to
his brother’s home in a suburban
street a mile away.
“Now he has stopped the music, I’ve
got a much better life”, says his
relieved neighbour. “Now I can go
out, go to work, come home, relax
and go to bed when I want.”
Elvis Turasinze appeared in The
Nightmare Neighbour Next Door, on
April 23 night at 8pm on UK’s
Channel 5.
