Kenyan rapper King Kaka has opened up about a frightening incident from his teenage years, recalling how armed police officers stormed his home while he was a Form 3 student preparing for exams.<\/p>\n
Speaking in a video shared on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, the musician described the shocking moment he woke up to find an armed officer pointing a rifle at him.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I wake up in the morning. I open my eyes, and the first thing I see is an AK-47. Imepointwa hivi kwa face yangu,\u201d King Kaka recalled.<\/p>\n
The rapper said the raid happened early in the morning when he suddenly found several officers inside his house, all armed with rifles.<\/p>\n
He said the situation left him confused and terrified, especially because he was not expecting anyone to enter the house.<\/p>\n
\u201cWote na ma-AK-47. My mama anasema huko. Mi niko na boxer,\u201d he narrated.<\/p>\n
At the time, King Kaka explained that he was focused on his education and had developed a routine of sleeping early so that he could wake up before dawn to revise.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would sleep early so that I wake up around 4 a.m. to revise because the paper was in the morning,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
During the tense encounter, King Kaka said he tried to explain to the officers that he was a student and had not been involved in any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n
\u201cMimi ni student na nimelala mapema sababu niko na exams kesho. Please, please,\u201d he recalled telling the officers.<\/p>\n
His mother also intervened, assuring the officers that he was her son and attempting to calm the situation.<\/p>\n
According to the rapper, officers later asked him to provide proof that he was a student.<\/p>\n
He showed them his school items and documents, including the date written on his school materials.<\/p>\n
\u201cNilionyesha hadi date,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
King Kaka later learnt that his brothers had also been arrested during the same operation.<\/p>\n
He explained that the raid was part of a wider police search for a missing firearm, with officers moving from house to house and picking up young men in the area.<\/p>\n
Looking back, the rapper described the experience as one of the most frightening moments of his early life.<\/p>\n
However, he said the incident also played a role in shaping his discipline and determination during his school years and later in his career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
