The building according to Juliani is dubbed as Dandora Hip Hop Centre and was used as a hub for the youth and women to showcase and grow their talents within the slum area of Dandora.
Sharing the video, Juliani said that it’s a sad moment for him but he promised to rise again after the setback even after efforts to avert the destruction.
“This is not the end but inauma sana! To think that we were working on expanding to the neighbouring spaces and upgrading the facility.”
This comes just days after Juliani claimed that he had gotten word that his foundation building was to be demolished and asked his fans to stand with him in these hard times.
“Gotten word that our community centre, Dandora Hip Hop City is being demolished. The whole 2 storey building. Yes, it’s close to a river. We purchased the building more than 7 years ago.”
The demolition has however been met with mixed reactions with some leaders asking why the government is not destroying buildings in posh estates and going for demolitions in slums and informal settlements.

Azimio la Umoja’s Eugene Wamalwa on Sunday asked the government why it is not demolishing buildings in affluent Nairobi neighbourhoods like Runda, where some houses are built on riparian land in something like targeting the poor and sparing the rich.
