Former Sailors Gang member Shalkido has publicly appealed for assistance, citing severe financial hardship since the group's dissolution. In an Instagram post on Monday, August 25, 2025, he detailed his struggles to provide for his family and sought help from comedian Eric Omondi.

• Shalkido, once a lead singer for the Gengetone group, confessed his life has been a "constant battle" since the split.
• He directly appealed to Eric Omondi, requesting even a motorbike to restart his hustle and support his family.
• This is not the first time Shalkido has sought help, having made a similar plea in January regarding disputes over the group’s YouTube channel and death threats.
