The ’I don't give a damn’ hitmaker revealed she's been finding it hard to pay her rent arrears following the closure of her club and restaurant in Kitengela dubbed 'motherland'. Though plans of reopening the club are underway, she admits that the pressures of life have weighed down on her to a point she needed to do what she had to do to survive.
She apologised to Kenyans in advance adding that she's going back into the controversial business of stripping online in order to survive.

Knowing well how Kenyan trolls can be, she has stated that the site she will be using as her hustling platform has many Kenyans and eventually they'd catch up with her so it's better she apologizes in advance before someone actually exposes her images online.
The singer politely asked Kenyans to bear with her and not judge her as she has rent to pay and also needs to feed her children and in her defense she said she will be doing it for her children.
She also admits to not wanting to beg Kenyans for help again.
“Dear fellow Kenyans I want to say thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for standing with me severally :first thank you so much for helping me open motherland bar and restaurant and thank you for believing me when I exposed police extortion in my business.The Kitengela OCS HAS since been transferred," she wrote.
“I however remain alone with rent and loan arrears......lost customers and a huge stock reduction in my stock the kitchen remains closed.Motherland can no longer sustain me.I.dont want to beg Kenyans for help again ,so I remain with only two options either fall into depression or commit suicide or stay alive ,fight and raise my kids through thick and thin .I chose the latter I choose my kids over depression," she added.
“The only other thing I know apart from my business is webcam modelling as a public figure am disgusted to back to my old ways of stripping online....but I don't have any other option.
“I'm kindly begging Kenyans to please not judge if you see anything compromising ,images of me surfacing online to tarnish my name.I apologize in advance as the website I chose has many Kenyans who will definitely expose me so I am exposing myself first before they do," Atis said.
She further gave an apology to the people who looked up to her saying, “to those who looked up to me as a role model am really sorry,I do understand that I have a lot to loose including my reputation ,self respect and dignity ......but please nobody is feeding me so please let me do what I have to do to feel myself and my kids.”
