Chiwawa Says Nonini’s Kisima Win Was Fabricated

Nonini took home the Best Hip Hop Artiste Award at the Kisima Awards last weekend for his conscious track about the suffering of persons living with albinism, Color Kwa Face.

Now, hip hop artiste, Chiwawa, says that the category was a sham. He released a statement to convey his thoughts about Nonini’s win. Check it out below.

“The Kisima awards did not reflect the spirit of Hiphop in Kenya. The hip hop category was clearly fabricated with a pre-meditated winner. The awards did not have the endorsement of Kenyan hip hop fans or Kenyan hip hop industry players. Hip hop fraternity is still united despite the misrepresentation and we’re working on forming a UNION of Hip hoppers from around the country to have our own award show in the near future. It will be composed of Hip Hop Emcees Only & we are calling on corporates to back us up on this.”
