In a candid eight minutes video shared on his Facebook page on Sunday, June 5, Alvan revealed he was forced to sleep out in the cold the previous night after he failed to clear his rent arrears.

“Please note as this is happening, my water and electricity supply had been cut for one and a half weeks. Just trying to make ends meet, the business was not working,” Alvan said.

The singer said he tried contacting his friends who declined to host him but one of the guards to his friend allowed him to sleep in his guard booth.

He said he was trying to prove that the fuss behind celebrities was just a mask that hid a lot of suffering inside.

“I’m just here to remove the whole celebrity lie. You can trend for months and still have nothing going for you. You can be popular but still struggling and I’m here to remove the same, lets not pretend,” he said.

The artiste was thankful to the guard and said he would remember him for a long time.

“I don’t know how COVID-19 has affected you, but this is my story and am not ashamed of it. There comes a time when everything you’ve worked for blows up in your face. When you can your friends and none can help you,” Alvan added amidst tears.
