2008–present: personal life
### 2008–present: personal life

Eastlandah David has had numerous run ins with various entities in his life. His personal life is as colourful and complicated as has been his few years around. From reports that he got a child via [surrogacy](/wiki/Surrogacy "Surrogacy") to others that he is an artist of the wild taking advantage of the ignorant, he seems to elicit mixed reactions upon mention of his name. In 2006, it is known Eastlandah was in a relationship with an unknown woman. He was also at some point engaged to Carol, with whom the break\-up largely resulted in a meltdown. It was through this period that he deteriorated, from a sober mind to an alcoholic who relied on alcohol to work. It is understood that the break\-up resulted in his quitting live performances as this was the last time he was seen performing on stage and has since stopped his performances. Eastlandah also dated Josephine, a camera lady, and though never substantiated, he is said to have been in a relationship with Carol Kinuthia. At the moment, it is said his first child was conceived of a surrogate mother. He is on record as to having said he is contemplating joining [servant](/wiki/Servant "Servant")\-hood and dedicating his life to service and philanthropy. In a live interview, he admitted his relationships have left him broken and hurt and he was in no shape to ever love a woman the way he's loved those who loved him then.

Eastlandah was known for his abrasive approach to work, often appearing in hoods and jeans at [Nation Media Group](/wiki/Nation_Media_Group "Nation Media Group"), and unapologetically telling off his seniors. He resigned from N.M.G. following an unknown scandal and eventually retired at a young age from media. At the time of quitting, he was working on IPTV. He was declared bankrupt after this, but also had a show in with the law when [tax returns](/wiki/Tax "Tax") showed he'd not substantiated his income. It is not known whether he did a [prison term](/wiki/Prison_term "Prison term") but he dropped off the radar for the better part of 2010 only to be said to be living as a recluse.

After winning the Adeste award, it was rumoured that he was [gay](/wiki/Homosexual "Homosexual"), after comments attributed to him in public in support of gay individuals. He has however clarified saying he meant every human being deserves his entitled rights, but neither denied nor confirmed being gay personally. It is not known whether he is religious but he has [Rastafarian](/wiki/Rastafarian "Rastafarian") credentials. He is said to be a practising Buddhist, a practise he picked during his stint in Cambodia in 2011\.

As of 2012, Eastlandah is said to make his home in [Dar es Salaam](/wiki/Dar_es_Salaam "Dar es Salaam"), [Tanzania](/wiki/Tanzania "Tanzania"), and an unknown locale in Kenya, where he spends time painting and writing as a recluse and with limited touch with the outside world.


What does it mean for Eastlandah to be 'broken and hurt' from his relationships?
