Dauda Karama, widely known by his former media moniker Dee Jay Dawish, a prominent Sierra Leonean DJ who once graced the airwaves of Star Radio, has today publicly revealed his struggle with homelessness in the United States.
The announcement, made on his “Stylish Entertainment Sierra Leone” Facebook page, has ignited a wave of concern and calls for assistance within the Sierra Leonean community and beyond.
In a raw and emotional post, Karama shared a glimpse into his current reality, writing: “Blood Sweat Tears shit we face in the streets been homeless.” This stark declaration immediately drew attention, with many interpreting it as a desperate plea for help.
The news has prompted significant public reaction, with numerous viewers expressing dismay and urging support for the former media personality. One comment circulating online directly appealed to the Sierra Leonean entertainment community in the US: “Sierra Leone Entertainers in the United States, it will be nice if you guys help him out. Our brother is going through a lot.”
However, the circumstances surrounding DJ Dawish’s homelessness have also raised questions among the public.
One social media user pondered: “But our question is what went wrong and how can he be homeless and still stay in the hospital?” This query suggests that there may be additional layers to Karama’s situation, potentially involving health concerns.
It would be recalled that Dawish left Sierra Leone for the United States after his marriage to an American Woman.
Amidst the outpouring of sympathy and calls for aid, a recurring sentiment among concerned citizens is the suggestion for DJ Dawish to return to Sierra Leone. Many comments reflect the belief that it would be preferable for him to be in his home country rather than facing homelessness in the United States.
As of late Friday, May 23, 2025, the exact details of DJ Dawish’s circumstances in the United States remain unclear, but his public announcement has undeniably brought his plight to the forefront, sparking a significant discussion about support for Sierra Leonean expatriates facing hardship abroad.
I have never known or met him but from the pictures posted, he looks like a drug addict. Come back home bro and start life all over again. It’s never too late and don’t let the wrath of Donald Trump catch up with you.
Where dis “Doctor” Amara Gegbai get his medical training? How can he say ‘he looks like a drug addict,’ short of reviewing his medical history, conducting both physical and diagnostic tests? Merely looking at a photo is really insufficient “Doctor Gegbai. Your assertion is non-factual, shameful and scandalous!

Having the competency to read the English language is completely different from comprehending it. When I wrote “…he looks like a drug addict…..” i was not conclusively asserting that he was one. The operative words are ” looks like.” It is therefore a display of total immaturity, lacking the ability to comprehend, and to some extent, inadequate level of literacy.
When I wrote my comments, they were purely based on suspicion. I was not establishing a fact. But if I may ask, did you ever study figures of speech in high school? What I wrote was just metaphorical.
