I Worked as a Stripper and Prostitute inthe US, Deported Kenyan Singer MaryAtis Says

Kenyan singer Mercy Atis has shared more details about her miserable experience in the US before she was eventually deported in 2014.

Atis came into the limelight in October last year after her debut song “I Don’t Wanna Know” went viral on social media.

In her latest interview, she says she was in a desperate situation that led her into prostitution in the US.

Atis moved to the US in 2005 to further her studies but she dropped out due to the inability to raise tuition fees. “In America, the tuition fee of a non-American student is triple that of a normal citizen. On my part I couldn’t afford it so I ended up dropping out of school,” she notes.

Atis managed to secure a job at a nursing home but after working for some time, she lost the job and became homeless. The situation pushed her to agree to work as a stripper after learning that it was paying well.

“I met this guy who told me that I could make up to Sh40,000 ($400) per day through stripping in clubs in New Jersey. I was determined to make more cash so I gave in to his demands,” she added.

While working as a stripper, Atis met another man who introduced her to high-end prostitution in Las Vegas, where she would earn three times more.

Atis later fell out with her boss after she failed to return with $5,000 from one of her clients, with the employer attempting to rape her.

“The client was supposed to pay me $5000 per shot which I was unable to accomplish the task on day one. When I went back home this guy abused me to the point, he wanted to rape me. At this point I was decided to sneak out and go back to California,” she adds.

In her previous interviews, Atis said she was raped many times and taken to jail after she was falsely accused of arson, and later deported to Kenya.

“I returned aboard a military plane from California, the USA to Kenya dressed in a hospital gown. I was accompanied by eight people including a doctor and a therapist… There were no signs that coming back, a deportee, will make my life better as I had no money or assets to my name. However, on my way home, I have one resolve—to make it as a musician,” Atis told Nation last year.
