Boondocks Gang's Maddox Rejects Oga Obinna's Help, Says He Doesn't Need Rehab: "Niko Sawa"

• Oga Obinna had initially rallied Kenyans to come out and help Boondocks Gang member Maddox get help and be admitted into rehab
• However, the musician clapped back and turned down the help, saying he was doing okay and was only in the streets because he couldn't get his payment
• Some social media users urged Obinna to ensure Madoxx gets help as he is in denial, while some said he just needs to continue making music

Boondocks Gang member Maddox has turned down YouTuber Oga Obinna's help going to rehab after a video emerged of him allegedly living on the streets.

In the video, Madoxx talks about how he was not getting paid for his art, which saw many claim he had resulted in substance abuse.

Following the video's viral success, Obinna rallied Kenyans to support the renowned musician so he could get to rehab.

Obinna said:

"We pull our resources, and then we put him in rehab for maybe a year."

Maddox's response to Obinna after call to help him

However, in an interview with Kenya Media Online, Madoxx shut down claims that he was battling any addiction and affirmed that he was okay.

In his words:

"I am not addicted; I am okay. I do not need to go to any rehab. I am not a fan of dr_gs; maybe they were using me. But I do not like using them. I do not want to use any, including alcohol. Right now unless I am the water ambassador."

He clarified that he was on the streets because he was not getting his cut and recalled a time when other Boondocks members would be paid, but he would not.

He appreciated his fans for always supporting him and buying him food whenever they saw him on the streets.

"Kwani walikuwa wanaexpect akubali kupelekwa rehab, knowledge kidogo tafadhali."

@jajavybez said:

"But to be honest siezi kubali kusaidiwa hii ya kupostiwa kila mahali, help someone silently. Mtafuteni chini ya maji."

@beverlyn_davids said:

"It's not a crime to accept help."

@director.captain_ said:

"But he looks better than in the last video. May he find peace and health."

@peddy_wa_memes said:

"Denial is the worst treatment, for sure."

OJ shuts down addiction claims

In a similar report, former Tahidi High actor OJ reacted after Obinna claimed he urgently needed rehab following a tip about his lifestyle.

According to the YouTuber, someone he suspected to be the actor's sister reached out to him to intervene, saying OJ was struggling with alcoholism.

However, in an interview with TUKO.co.ke, OJ shut down the claims, demanding Obinna reveal his source as he only has one sister.
