Celebrated hip hop star Jay Polly, born Joshua Tuyishime, is set to establish a fashion house after t-shirts inscribed with his name and pictures hit shops late last week. The t-shirt business is a partnership between Jay Polly and Touch Records.   

The t-shirts, each at Rwf5000, are reportedly selling like hot cake in Nyamirambo shops as they make their way into downtown Kigali.

And the artiste is planning to build on the success of the t-shirts to start a fashion house.

"I have started selling t-shirts with different designs but other designs will be on the market very soon. After Primus Guma Guma Super Star Season 4 competition, I will have enough time to concentrate on building my business,” he said

Jay Polly plans to open a big shop in the city centre for fans to easily access the t-shirts.  

The 26-year-old is currently focusing on winning PGGSS 4 finals in which he faces stiff competition from Bruce Melody, and Dream Boys duo of TMC and Platini.
