Even After Shooting A Video With A 12.8 Million Maserati And Ferrari, DJ Pinye Rejects Papa Dennis’ Latest Video
Papa Dennis is one Kenyan celebrity that gives the kings of flash Mike Sonko and Prezzo a run for their money when it comes to being super flashy.
And sure enough,Papa Dennis did not fail to bring the flash in his Injili video that features a Maserati, a Ferrari and a sprawling mansion. This ostentatious video has has been on high rotation on Trace Urban, Channel O and Suncity channels.
The video has been done by the king himself; Godfather productions .Godfather productions has shot and directed well-known songs by famous African artistes .In his impressive portfolio lies Burna Boy’s Gorgon ,D Banj’s ‘Top of the and Mafikizolo’s and Davido’s ‘Tchelete’.
The fact that the video was done by Godfather, arguably the best video director in Africa makes it an above average video. But despite Godftaher throwing his weight behind Papa Dennis, DJ Pinye was not impressed.
He says that he cannot play the video on The Beat because it’s ‘below standards’. He argues he has been in the industry for over 15 years and he can tell quality video from a shoddy one.

I watched the video which has now garnered 172,432 and I have to admit that the video is quality…on mute minus Papa Dennis’ random rumblings in Lingala.
To be honest, I’ve heard good songs and this one is just not it! I would rather watch a quality song shot on a bicycle or in a wheelbarrow than a poor quality song shot in a Maserati. It makes no sense to spend millions on a music video but compromise on the song’s quality. It’s like buying the 5.76 Billion Shillings Fusaichi Pegasus thoroughbred horse and housing it in a village in Ndunduri.
This is the kind of song that once I’m done staring at The Maserati and Ferrari I would probably never want to listen to it again.I’ll have to side with DJ Pinye on this one!
