Guardian Angel is not just saving souls; he’s apparently saving on grocery bills too.
The Nairobi-based gospel singer, whose full name is Audiphaxad Peter Omwaka, has gone viral after filming himself harvesting vegetables from a farm he planted for his tenants at his newly built low-cost rental units.
In the selfie-style video shot outdoors, Guardian Angel walks through a green vegetable patch growing in red soil, speaking directly to the camera in a relaxed, conversational tone.
He bends down to pull out spinach, managu and other greens into a mesh sack before explaining the full package he’s offering to anyone who moves in.
Guardian Angel’s ‘silver apartments’
The singer constructed 15 single-room rental units built from corrugated iron sheets, cheekily branded the “Silver Apartments.”
Monthly rent comes in at a very affordable KSh 5,000 per unit, a price point clearly targeted at low-income earners in the city. But Guardian Angel went a step further with the perks.
In the video, he told prospective tenants that beyond the cheap rent, the vegetable garden on the compound would supply them with free produce.
Spinach, managu, skuma wiki and tomatoes were among the crops he pointed out, promising residents they would eat from the farm at no extra cost.
His pitch was simple: pay a small rent, eat free vegetables from the compound, and use the money you save to hustle harder.
The humorous tone and the genuine sight of a gospel artist crouching in the mud to harvest greens gave the clip an authentic charm that resonated widely online.
Why the video is resonating with Kenyans
The clip taps into a very real conversation around affordable housing in Nairobi, where single-room rentals in most estates can easily cost twice or three times what Guardian Angel is charging.
The added incentive of free vegetables, while playfully delivered, touches on the everyday financial pressure many city residents face when it comes to food costs.
Guardian Angel, known for hit gospel tracks and his high-profile marriage to Esther Musila, has built a reputation for being candid about his life and choices.
This latest move into real estate, complete with a working kitchen garden, shows another side of the artist beyond the pulpit and the recording studio.
