Nimesota! Ngesh Kaveve Kazoze Addresses Social Media Absence, Cites Financial Struggles

Emerging rapper Ngesh wa Vasha, known for her contribution to the Spider Clan track Kaveve Kazoze, has addressed her recent absence from social media.

Regarding the short-lived nature of Spider Clan, Ngesh wa Vasha stated that despite the song’s significant popularity and fan support, the group did not generate any income from YouTube.

Consequently, they were unable to continue producing new music. She emphasized that she refused to remain in the public eye under such circumstances.

In a conversation with a blogger, Ngesh wa Vasha expressed her frustration with the idea of maintaining a public profile while facing financial hardship. The artist, who stepped out of the spotlight following the brief popularity of their hit song, explained that she is currently broke and sees no point in appearing online simply to entertain others while struggling in her personal life.

The rapper, also recognized for her memorable verse in the song cash crop za Nyandarua ni mawaru, where the line became a popular sing-along, disclosed that while her Spider Clan colleagues wished to pursue strategies to maintain online relevance, she disagreed with this approach.

She firmly stated that she would not present a false image online to please fans while privately dealing with difficulties.

This candid revelation elicited sympathy from some, while others inquired about potential ways to support her return to the limelight once her situation improves.

2Mbili, who recently spearheaded a successful online fundraising campaign for the release of Khalif Kairo, questioned whether fans would be willing to contribute similarly to help Ngesh wa Vasha regain her footing.

It’s worth noting that during the peak popularity of their hit song, Spider Clan met with public figures such as Senator Karen Nyamu and businessman Mike Sonko, both of whom pledged their support to the rising artists. However, these promises ultimately did not materialize.

Despite Global Success, Spider Clan Crew Struggled to Earn from ‘Kaveve Kazoze’

In a recent interview, members of the rising Gengetone group Spider Clan Crew revealed that they haven’t received any financial compensation for their smash hit “Kaveve Kazoze,” despite its immense popularity.

Ngesh, Banguz, Nguzu, and Mosray, the four members of the group, explained that they were initially unaware of their rights to monetize the song. They believed that the producer who created the beat owned the entire song and its profits.

“We didn’t receive anything from ‘Kaveve Kazoze,’ even though it was monetized. The beat owner has been receiving all the money,” the group disclosed.

They further elaborated that it wasn’t until the song garnered four million views that they discovered the possibility of monetizing it themselves.

“When the song hit four million views, we learned we could change the legal details and redirect the song’s income to us. We didn’t know anything about this before, but now we can monetize it. People think we’re rich and balling because of the song, but we got nothing from it. It gave us fame, but that’s it. The name is big, but there’s no money,” they lamented.

The group also revealed that they have successfully changed the ownership details of the song and will now receive the income generated from it. They further expressed their desire to perform at clubs and events, appealing to promoters who might be hesitant due to potential financial constraints.

“We’d like to call on club promoters to give us gigs and shows. We are calling upon them because when it comes to these other shows and concerts, the promoters are crying that there is no money,” they pleaded.

Despite the initial financial struggles, “Kaveve Kazoze” has undoubtedly garnered significant success. Released just six months ago, the song boasts over 4.2 million views and 63,000 likes on the Rieng Genje YouTube channel, solidifying Spider Clan Crew’s position as a rising force in the Kenyan music scene.
