Why is everyone attacking Camp Mulla’s K’Cous?

Last year, there were raunchy pictures of Avril doing the rounds on the net.

 The sultry songstress came out top strongly deny that the pictures were actually of her. She claimed that they were photoshopped. Whether this was true or false, all that we can say is that she has proved her detractors wrong by not just ignoring them but by growing from strength to strength.
Shaffie Weru, one of Kenya’s foremost events MCs has had his fair share of sagas. At some point Kenyans would derisively refer to his life as a soap opera. But he has managed to find a silver lining in this cloud and he’s turned the controversy into a cash cow.
In comes K’Cous (of Camp Mulla). This stellar rapper and prodigious producer recently put a song in praise of weed and it has kicked up a ruckus. Are his actions morally reprehensible? Maybe but what i am  certain of is that it is not your place to judge him. correct him? Aye but judge? let’s all get off our high horses.
Artists are a reflection of society. K’Cous is in Britain where the population is free spirited and more likely to accept this. He made the error of posting such a video for a Kenyan audience. It was a simple error in judgement. Nothing more. He wasn’t promoting the use of drugs and he wasn’t trying to mislead the youth. His was merely an excercise in self expression.

All things said and done, K’Cous is a teenager. He did a song that i thought and indeed, i still think is awesome. It was a song. Nothing more. Once the song is done, i move on with my life. I do not pick up bhangi and smoke it as a result of hearing the song. In the self same way, playing Call of Duty doesn’t make me shoot my neighbour in the head. Some of the people beating him down are adults. adults whom i feel are quick to focus on the negatives in someone else than confront their demons.

You want to wax lyric about morality and the Bible? Jesus said that he without sin shall cast the first stone. If you are genuine about correcting the lad, do so without all the shenanigans i am seeing on twitter.

And please, let’s not confuse entertainers for role models. Role models are our parents. Our elder siblings, not politicians either.
This is my humble opinion.
