When Club Valu Valu went viral in 2023, one of the stand-out personalities was resident entertainer Dennis Juma, aka DJ Yappah.

Social media reactions

Bab Shawn Mulei:

"Hapana valuvalu haifai kua safi hivi, huyo jamaa pia ameoga sana, alafu pia tumemzoea na kuchapwa banaa."

Shalom Imali:

"Naona mmerudi. While you were away, we missed you."

Mamake Jay:

"My favourite DJ, na msimchape tena."

Why did DJ Elastoplast have perennial injuries?

Club Valuvalu was a one-time little-known joint in Mumias until it went viral after sharing tickling photos of revellers on social media.

During an earlier interview, the 23-year-old told TUKO.co.ke that he sustained injuries from separating fights between drunk revellers at the club.

He added that he's usually the only male employee at those late hours, so whenever revellers started fighting, he would have to stop them.

At the time of the interview, he had lost his smartphone while quelling one of those fights.

The entertainer disclosed that he is unmarried and attracts many ladies, adding that he believed he was destined for greatness.

While revelling in the support he received from fans, he maintained that deejaying pays well but needs one to build their brand meticulously.
