Kenya’s Vocal Stars: Celebrities Turn Political Critics in a Time of Discontent

Posted on January 2, 2024 by Ozymandias

Kenya’s political landscape is witnessing a surge of unexpected voices: celebrities. Beyond their usual roles of musicians, comedians, and social media influencers, these personalities are emerging as vocal critics of President Ruto’s administration. Using their platforms and influence, they challenge policies, question decisions, and amplify public concerns – transforming mere observers into shapers of the national discourse.

From Scathing Verses to Bold Declarations:

Huddah Monroe: Once a supporter, the renowned influencer made a dramatic shift, labeling Ruto “Kenya’s worst president” due to economic woes. Her blunt criticism resonated with Kenyans facing rising costs of living.
Njugush: This comedian uses satire to skewer the government’s claims of free education and affordable healthcare, highlighting the stark reality of high prices and unemployment. He also criticizes the appointment of wealthy politicians amid inflation.
Madtraxx: The musician accused Ruto of deliberately “oppressing the country” to justify potential authoritarianism. While later advocating for prayer and support, his initial outburst echoed public anxieties.
Khaligraph Jones: In his hit song “Minimal Pressure,” the rapper critiques the failed “bottom-up” economic strategy and calls out perceived hypocrisy among creators who met with the president about taxation. His bold lyrics resonated with Kenyans struggling under economic hardship.

Beyond Entertainment: A Shift in Role:

These celebrities’ actions represent a significant shift. By stepping beyond their traditional spheres and engaging in political discourse, they:

Amplify Discontent: They give voice to widespread frustration with the government’s economic policies and perceived lack of action on pressing issues.
Challenge Narratives: They question official pronouncements and offer alternative perspectives, fostering critical thinking among the public.
Hold Power Accountable: They use their influence to scrutinize the government’s decisions and demand transparency, pushing for better governance.

This trend raises crucial questions:

Can celebrity involvement in politics effectively bring about change?
Will it polarize the public or encourage constructive dialogue?
How will it shape the future of political discourse in Kenya?

One thing is certain: the emergence of these vocal celebrities marks a new chapter in Kenyan politics, one where entertainment and activism increasingly intertwine. Time will tell how their influence will shape the nation’s future.

Khaligraph Jones getting called to perform in Sierra Leone is huge

Posted on January 13, 2023 by Ozymandias

Khaligraph Jones recently got called up for a performance in Sierra Leone and for some reason we are acting as if that was not a huge deal.

Khaligraph Jones vs Wizkid: Is rap dead?

The rapper who used to be marked for his Cadence and American accent in his music has finally proved his detractors wrong as he has shown that his target was never merely a local audience but an international one.

And like it or not there are no Kenyan artists who make music in Sheng who have been called to perform in any country outside of east Africa. Khaligraph Jones however has begun to take his music continental and one of the secrets of his success is the fact that English is a very widely spoken language meaning even fans from different countries can understand and relate to what he is saying.

Cashy Karimi VS Khaligraph Jones: Kenyan family law is flawed

On top of that he has also managed to shut up one of his biggest detractors in Eric Omondi complaining that Kenyan artists don’t seem to have a continental appeal. And with one move he has managed to checkmate his biggest critic. That is definitely a lovely sight to behold.

Khaligraph Jones wasn’t called for a club appearance no as he called for a tiny event rather from the videos we have seen online it was a Stadium concert and he had thousands if not hundreds of thousands of fans singing along to his music word-for-word and that a major coup for the Kenyan entertainment industry as it has opened up doors for other artists and acts to follow in his footsteps.

Khaligraph Jones has introduced himself to the west African Community and can now begin to grow a fan base outside of Sierra Leone and into neighbouring countries perhaps even Nigeria which has by far one of the biggest markets in terms of population and revenue in Africa.

What you need to do now is to focus on growing he’s here and Union base organically and perhaps he can score two more huge concerns there after which he can then set his eyes on conquering the anglophone markets in West Africa such as Ghana and Nigeria.

Wizkid is right about hiphop and Khaligraph embrace the fact that rap is dead

Posted on December 6, 2022 by Pauline Syombua

Wizkid recently had an interview with Peoples magazine where he threw shade at hiphop artists saying the genre no longer exists; and if anything – Afro pop is the new in thing….something many agree with.

According to the star, people no longer listen to hiphop like they used to back in the day…and I am thinking its only because African music has found it’s place in the music market across the globe.

You see, as much as hiphop started off as a ‘western thing’ not many caucasians really embraced it since it was more of a ‘black thing’ but when you look at Afro Pop….youd be shocked by the number of both blacks and caucasians who listen and jam to it.

Rap music associated with ‘gangs’

For example, look at Wizkid’s music….actually look at Rayvanny’s music which tops on most European music charts….but have you ever seen a Khaligraph Jones rap song appear anywhere? Well maybe Octopizzo but either way, he hasnt yet hit global charts.

Anyway Wizkid having said that, we all saw Khaligraph respond by claiming that hip hop js still alive and will show everyone.

Okay okay….let me stop you right there. Lets take out the accent from all Khaligraph Jones music, add a little african vibe….would you still listen to him rap over and over again? Probably not….and you still wonder why Wizkid says that Hiphop is dead?

I mean he could have named the likes of Sarkodie and the rest….but he spoke his truth which is, rap music is now a forgotten genre especially since many link it to gangs….and from the documentaries you’ve watch – don’t you agree?

Khaligraph Jones vs Wizkid: Is rap dead?

Posted on December 5, 2022 by Ozymandias

Wizkid seems to have incurred the Wrath of many an African rapper one of those being khaligraph Jones who took offence to the fact that Wiz says african hip hop is all but dead.

Cashy Karimi VS Khaligraph Jones: Kenyan family law is flawed

And you can feel how you do about that however it cannot be disputed that Wizkid is a great spokesperson for African music there for his opinions should not be taken lightly. Khaligraph Jones however is one of Kenya’s most prolific rappers so naturally he felt the need to speak out and defend hip hop.

But when we look at things objectively we do have to tackle the question of whether African hip-hop has a and had argued that it does. We just have to change our perspective on what makes up the audience. And for me to better explain this I use the example of uk-based Kenyan rapper Phineas or where or who goes by the stage name A1.

Khaligraph Jones dragged to court by baby mama for neglecting son

He is a hip hop artist who has managed to amass an audience of listeners on Spotify who gave him 270 million streams in 2022. Now that’s massive and it is a movement that people like khaligraph Jones and Wakadinali need to study and learn from.

Perhaps khaligraph Jones should steal a page from Wizkidayo’s PlayBook and begin to focus on Kenyans in the diaspora as well as the international market the reason for this is firstly that the international audience has the money to support an artist’s career by it by streaming or buying concert tickets. And secondly there’s the fact that they actually have the luxury of time to truly form a fanbase.

Cashy vs Khaligraph Jones: Is child support meant for the child or mother?

Kenyans are not known to support their own however that is a localised problem. Kenyans in the diaspora have a huge appetite for Kenyan content but they aren’t enough to truly boost an artist into the stratosphere so perhaps khaligraph Jones should look into collaborating with other African artists as a way of introducing himself to new Markets and audiences.

Mahater! Khaligraph Jones totally pissed off by hater who left scratch marks on his sleek Range Rover ride (Video)

If as he says African hip hop then the onus falls upon him to become more aggressive in his marketing and attempt to penetrate new markets as well as make more radio hits and club bangers as opposed to making music for his die-hard audience.

Is Eric Omondi washed up?

Posted on October 31, 2022 by Ozymandias

Eric Omondi has earned the ire of the entire entertainment fraternity with Bien, Khaligraph and Kamene Goro being the most vocal about their displeasure and outright contempt for his opinions on what ails the Kenyan entertainment scene.

Eric Omondi Reveals His Girlfriend Once Dumped Him For Another Woman (Video)

And some of the words being thrown about seem to indicate that the trio think the comedian washed up and washed out. That’s right, a lot of celebrities are claiming the former Churchill Ndambuki protege a faded star clinging to the spotlight.

But do they have a point? Is Eric Omondi truly washed out? I would argue that he’s not. Whether or not you like him and his brand of comedy and whether or not you like his opinions on what ails the Kenyan entertainment scene -and most celebs don’t- Eric Omondi is anything but washed up.

Eric Omondi has a point BUT…

You see, in order to determine whether or not a comedian is washed up, we need to look at their last pieces of work and performances. This isn’t about whether or not you find his body of work hilarious because humour is subjective.

Eric Omondi has been working! He has been touring the globe performing with his most recent performance being in Uganda and before that, he was invited to Egypt and before that, the Gulf region. So he clearly has his fans and they are giving him work.

Why Eric Omondi is experiencing extreme weight gain and loss

What about the content he put out? The last one that comes to mind was his dating show which was the talk of the entire country back in 2021. Let that sink in, whether or not you remember it’s name (it was called Wife Material by the way), you cannot pretend not to remember that he had a very interesting and controversial dating show.

So, as you can see, you cannot deny Eric Omondi’s success. You cannot deny that he still has clout and relevance. Sure, he does get up to doing some rather immature publicity stunts but regardless of all that, he is truly a popular comedian.

Crazy Kennar weighs in on Eric Omondi’s Cross dressing, leaves fans in stitches

It is also worth noting that most of his detractors cannot attack the points he is making hence their decision to make their arguments about his relevance.

Fo once we are going to emerge from an article with an answer, is he washed up? No. Definitely not. If anything Eric Omondi might shock many by having his career outlast those of some of his detractors. Or at least his legacy… How? Well, should the bill he is pushing to have Kenyan media houses mandated to play 75% Kenyan content, he will have gone down not only in the Hansards of Parliament but also in Kenyan history.

Eric Omondi has a point BUT…

Posted on October 11, 2022 by Ozymandias

Eric Omondi has been on a warpath with several celebrities after he called them out for not being exciting -basically not participating or creating publicity stunts.

Why Eric Omondi is experiencing extreme weight gain and loss

Besides this, he’s been crying and complaining about the fact that many foreign artists (read Nigerian) have been given opportunities to perform in Kenya when our own artists aren’t afforded the same opportunities.

Eric Omondi has gone as far as to claim he has sponsored a bill to be tabled in parliament that seeks to address this issue which would be very interesting to see debated.

Why Eric Omondi needs to stop responding to Kamene Goro

Well, what is wrong with all this jazz? It would appear his intentions are positive and he is trying to do the right thing that will eventually benefit Kenyan artists in Kenya. So why is everyone clamouring for his head?

Well, it all boils down to the question of “HOW?” he has gone about it. Because you see, rather than build consensus with other celebrities and artists, he has taken to antagonising them.

Eric Omondi and Dennis Karuri expose the homosexuality of Kenyan men

Sadly, this is the wrong approach. I say that because he is simply making a mockery of his attempts and as a result, rather than us discussing the merit of what Eric Omondi is trying to push, we are discussing his idiotic feud with Bien, his idiotic feud with Khaligraph Jones aswell as his idiotic feud with Kamene Goro.

And don’t get me wrong, all parties involved are idiots. They are incapable of putting their trivial issues to the side and discussing the merits or demerits of what the comedian is saying without things devolving into personal attacks and side issues.

Every woman needs a pocket simp like Eric Omondi

Eric Omondi has a point, Kenyans aren’t fully invested in supporting their own artists. That is why Ruger can attract 10,000 revellers while Nyashinski could only manage about 2,500. But Nyashinski, Sauti Sol, Khaligraph Jones and a few other acts who not only have a grassroots following but also corporate support AND IT’S STILL NOT ENOUGH.

And that is before we even consider the question of whether or not our artists would get corporate support to host a concert in Nigeria. Think Lagos, let alone Enugu.

Eric Omondi Narrates How Moses Kuria Significantly Contributed To The Success Of His Career

Eric Omondi has a point but he is not a leader. He is not the type of personality people would follow. Why? Because he is too invested in making this push, this movement he is struggling to gain momentum for because he wants to make this a cult of personality. He wants people to worship him or give him some sort of blind loyalty and adoration.

He has started a conversation, he should be willing to take a step back and allow other parties to be the face of the push while he steers the conversation from the back room. That would allow even those celebs who have an axe to grind with him to be part of this push.

Cashy Karimi is everything wrong with baby mama culture

Posted on August 31, 2022 by Ozymandias

Cashy Karimi this morning reminded me why I loathe baby mama culture and I have to say that this is something that we need to address as a nation before we head in the direction of America’s Foundational Black American community. And the single mother epidemic is the reason American culture is on the decline!

Cashy Karimi VS Khaligraph Jones: Kenyan family law is flawed

“According to the survey, a Kenyan woman has a 59.5 percent chance of being a single mother by the age of 45 either through pre-marital birth or dissolution of a union. The research also established that about 30 percent of women in Kenya are giving birth before they are married.”

And the reason this is an issue is that it is making the victim Olympics a whole thing. Am I referring to the fact that this rapper is dragging her child into the depths of the mud pit that is her fight with Xolani’s father, Omollo. For starters, we are not the right people for her to be battling her custody wars infront of. We do not care. And the fact that Cashy Karimi is blind to this is very telling. I don’t know what you understand from her actions but to me, she strikes me as a very narrow-minded and short-term thinking individual who wants to attempt to burn down the bridge simply because she hasn’t been allowed across it.

Khaligraph Jones and his toxic baby mama Cashy Karimi

Khaligraph Jones definitely has a part to play in all this. However, he is smart to remain silent as this battle rages on. That is masculine stoicism. But it is also wisdom. He is a man who is aware that today’s wars shape tomorrow’s reality. And there are some statements and actions that you can’t walk back on. So he is minding his tongue in public so that when the little boy is grown, he will not see much of anything outside of the fact that Omollo claimed his mother cheated on him.

But back to the single mother issue at hand: Cashy Karimi at the start of all this was on record boasting that her father would step up and be a father figure for the young boy she had borne. She stated that her son would lack for nothing and that he would be adequately provided for. So why the change of tune?

‘He Is Building A Mansion Yet He Has Neglected His Own Child’-Khaligraph Jones Baby Mama Cashy Karimi

She is now acting like if Khaligraph Jones were to meet an unfortunate untimely demise or were to fall off the face of the map, her son wouldn’t be able to get an education or she would be unable to provide for her child. Again I ask, why the sudden change in tune?

By my estimation, she is trying to force her ex-boyfriend’s hand. She is trying to emotionally blackmail him publicly in the hopes that the shame she is piling on him will make him decide that he wants to play an active role in Cashy Karimi’s son’s life but this has failed spectacularly so why she keeps going at it is beyond me. At this point, it is even just embarrassing.

Cashy Karimi Needs To Stop Sharing Her Issues With Khaligraph Jones

The reason I want to tuck this in with single mother culture is that she should have waited to marry Khaligraph before she gave him the ultimate honour she can bestow on a man by carrying his child to term. Now she thinks she makes him look some type of way -and maybe she has achieved this in certain circles- but she only is hard at work making herself look dumb.

This is the Brittany Renner story all over again. Women think they have finessed men and trapped them with a baby when all they have done is trap themselves in a vicious cycle that gives their offspring all sorts of disadvantages. That is what Cashy Karimi has managed to do here.

On to the next: Cashy’s Caucasian boyfriend steps in to play daddy after Khaligraph Jone neglects son? (Video)

Women have all sorts of options when it comes to birth control options so why she didn’t exercise any of them is beyond me. But now that we find ourselves here, she needs to realise that this BS is unbecoming especially after she disparaged Omollo. She needs to cut her losses and focus on raising her child on her own. That way, what is currently her burden will become her win!

Instead, we are being treated to he-said-she-said games that Cashy Karimi is playing alone. Just another statistic of unhappy single mothers.

Cashy Karimi VS Khaligraph Jones: Kenyan family law is flawed

Posted on August 30, 2022 by Ozymandias

Cashy Karimi has taken to social media to reveal she is feeling under pressure to hand her son by Khaligraph Jones over to him for him to raise as one of his children with his wife, Georgina Amali.

Khaligraph Jones and his toxic baby mama Cashy Karimi

This has been quite the roller coaster affair as the former couple has been embroiled in a fight firstly over paternity and now over child support. Bt what most do not know is that rumour has it that Cashy now has a Canadian man who wants to move back with her to Canada to settle down and Khaligraph Jones is asking to be allowed to remain in Kenya with his son so he might raise him.

That is quite the complicated conundrum right? But when you think about it critically, it really shouldn’t be. You see, Cashy Karimi and her ex-beau have had an issue ever since they broke up. Things quickly devolved into a he-said, she-said situation with him accusing her of cheating on him.

‘He Is Building A Mansion Yet He Has Neglected His Own Child’-Khaligraph Jones Baby Mama Cashy Karimi

After that, Khaligraph Jones moved on with his life even though she was clearly heavily pregnant. Perhaps he didn’t think she was heavy with his child or maybe he didn’t care but who knows? What is clear is the fact that the former rapper was having none of it! After going on record to say her father would be an apt replacement for Omollo, she quickly did a double take and sued him for upkeep.

Khaligraph resisted and even fought against having to submit for a paternity test but it did come out positive, proving once and for all that he is Xolani’s father. And after this small win, Cashy found herself in a bind as the father of her son made a rather logical request; he wanted to be allowed to raise their son.

‘I’ll Never Give Him The Child’-Khaligraph Jone’s Baby Mama Cashy Karimi Speaks

You see, child support isn’t money meant to help the mother sustain her lifestyle. It is meant to help raise the child which is an expensive endeavour in and of itself. But when a woman sues her baby daddy for upkeep, she is clearly admitting that she cannot afford to raise the child.

However, in Khaligraph Jones’ case, he can. And what’s more, he is able to offer a more solid home for young Xolani as he has a wife and together they have 2 children. Using deductive logic, on the face of things, isn’t he the better option for a parent?

Cashy Karimi Needs To Stop Sharing Her Issues With Khaligraph Jones

And that is why Cashy Karimi took to social media to ask whether people thought it to be a good idea. Of course, there is the question of cultural differences given that in Khaligraph’s Luo traditions, he would automatically be given his son to raise.

This is a case of getting what you want only to regret the outcome. Cashy Karimi as a mother has every right to ask the courts to help her raise her child as best as she can with support from the child’s father. And the courts have indeed helped her get to this point. On the flipside, Khasligraph Jones has every right as the father of the child to suggest he be given custody of the child given he has a more stable household and can take care of his son better.

Khaligraph Jones and his toxic baby mama Cashy Karimi

Posted on June 14, 2022 by Ozymandias

By now you already know that Khaligraph Jones is being dragged through the mud by his former girlfriend and baby mama (not to mention one-hit-wonder), Cashy Karimi. What is rather interesting about all this is the fact that she is the type you would expect to be an Independent Woman Who Don’t Need No Man™ yet she is stuck on him.

‘He Is Building A Mansion Yet He Has Neglected His Own Child’-Khaligraph Jones Baby Mama Cashy Karimi

The entire situation generated a rather interesting conversation between my friends and I as we debated who -if anyone- was on the wrong. My money is on her being on the wrong and I will explain to you why I am willing to die on this hill.

When Khaligraph Jones and Cashy Karimi broke up, he accused her of cheating on him. She remained silent on the entire affair. I, however, have a more interesting take on things… What if he never wanted the baby to begin with? You see, unlike with women, men have no say on whether or not the baby will be conceived (due to all the birth control options available to women) and whether or not the baby will be carried to term (the final solution).

Cashy Karimi takes a swipe at Khaligraph Jones wife, reveals she was the side chic not the other way round

Do we know whether that was the case? No. But what if it was? If a woman can say something like, “My body my choice”, then why can’t a man say the same about everything he has agency over? Why can’t a man choose where and when to invest his time, effort and money?

Feminists will call a woman who had the presence of mind to terminate a pregnancy a good woman, a woman who was mindful of her future but when a man aborts his financial responsibility to a baby he never wanted, he is a deadbeat dad? Make it make sense.

‘I’ll Never Give Him The Child’-Khaligraph Jone’s Baby Mama Cashy Karimi Speaks

I should reiterate at this point that we do not know whether this is how things played out but the fact still remains that we should respect a man’s decision to opt out of a pregnancy. But again, we do not know whether or not this played out between Khaligraph Jones and Cashy Karimi.

That said, the reason why I say she is a toxic, poisonous baby mama is because of the manner in which she has been conducting herself. She has become petty and does irrelevant things out of spite. Case in point was when Georgina Amali, Khaligraph Jones’ wife celebrated his 32nd birthday with a touching series of birthday wishes on social media. None of you can convince me that Cashy Karimi’s messages mocking what she said were called for. I understand that she is hurting and she is bitter because of the way things played out between them but why drag his family into it? Even if there is behind the scenes drama between his wife and baby mama, why would she bring it to our attention?

Cashy Karimi Needs To Stop Sharing Her Issues With Khaligraph Jones

Also, there is the fact that this is no longer about doing what is right by their son. The reason I say this is because Cashy Karimi is a Kikuyu and Khaligraph Jones a Luo. The two communities have different customs with regard to children and lineage. According to her custom, the children are the mother’s (matrilineal) while according to his customs, the children are the fathers (patrilineal).

He has come out to say that he wants to be given his son (after the paternity test confirmed paternity) so he could be raised under his roof. She has refused. Why? She is claiming to be struggling to provide for the boy so how does it make sense that you want the boy raised in deprivation while his father wants to raise him in abundance?

Cashy vs Khaligraph Jones: Is child support meant for the child or mother?

And I should not have to mention the fact that statistics tell us that children born to complete nuclear families are more balanced and have better odds of being successful than those raised by single mothers. Children raised by single mothers also have a higher chance of getting involved in crime and drug abuse. I don’t know about you but sometimes loving someone means letting them pursue a path that allows them the best odds of succeeding even if it guts us.

Unlike Khaligraph Jones and Cashy Karimi, I don’t have children nor do I have a baby mama so I am speaking as an uninformed observer who is basing his arguments on cold, hard facts. But one thing I know is that the constant online fights (which in all honesty are started and sustained by her) will do little for the boy’s wellbeing. Since she cannot get things to play out as she wants, she might aswell maintain her dignity and silence and move on with life.

Cashy vs Khaligraph Jones: Is child support meant for the child or mother?

Posted on April 20, 2022 by Ozymandias

Cashy Karimi, a rapper with one collaborative hit under her belt that she did with her ex-boyfriend, Khaligraph Jones has been rather vocal about her disdain for the rapper who was at one point in time not just her lover but benefactor aswell. The reason for this being the fact that when she fell pregnant, the Kayole born and bred MC distanced himself from both her and her child.

‘I’ll Never Give Him The Child’-Khaligraph Jone’s Baby Mama Cashy Karimi Speaks

Since then, she has yelled from the mountain tops, rooftops and wherever else that song mentions, trying to get the attention of not just Khali but his fans aswell to alert them to the fact that she considers him a deadbeat father.

Whether or not this has worked for cashy, one thing is certain, it did catch Khaligraph Jones’ attention and he decided to request a paternity test. the results weren’t brought up by him but rather by her which is very telling in and of itself but what happened next would shock many not native to the tribes of Western Kenyan and parts of the Rift Valley: he demanded his son.

Khaligraph Jones baby mama finally unveils mzungu boyfriend’s face (Photo)

If you know a thing or two about the different ethnicities in Kenya, then you’re aware that Khaligraph Jones’ request isn’t strange. He is a Luo and the people of that tribe are patrilineal. The children are the fathers by right and often, when a dispute occasions a divorce or separation, the man of the house is left with his children. Curiously enough, Cashy Karimi is a Kikuyu which is a matrilineal community which believes all children belong to the mother. In essence, the two communities have a diametrically opposed.

However, be that as it may be, the truth of the matter is that Khaligraph Jones is doing rather well for himself and has been raking in millions from his business and his craft. Cashy Karimi is a fresh graduate still finding her feet in the world. She has not established herself and both her and her son live off the providence of her father.

Cashy Karimi Needs To Stop Sharing Her Issues With Khaligraph Jones

There is nothing wrong with her case. However, she has been urging Khali to send her upkeep for her son. and that now raises the reason for this opinion piece; is child support supposed to help her or the child? because if we use logic and argue that it is meant to go for maintenance of the child and afford them a decent lifestyle, then the argument can be made for her to relinquish guardianship of her son over to his father as he has been requesting.

Afterall, Khaligraph Jones can offer a more stable home for their child given that he is married (common-law) to Georgina Muteti. The couple already has two children of their own sop the eldest oh the MC’s kids won’t have to grow up alone -for the foreseeable future anyway.

‘Time to pay up’ Cashy exposes Khaligraph Jones for neglecting 3 year old son

That way, Cashy’s demands will have been met and she will have acted in the best interest of their child. Infact, the Kenyan courts of law have already established precedence on the matter and so, if she really wants me to believe her argument that she wants what’s best for her son, why not give him over to his father? Unless ofcourse, the whole concept of child support that she’s touting is infact just to line her pockets?

Seriously though, I am eager to hear a counter to my opinion. But until then, she needs to stop playing the victim as if she were the first single mother involved in the victim Olympics. Call Khaligraph’s bluff and let’s take things from there.

Khaligraph’s secret source of multi-millions

Posted on February 9, 2022 by Ozymandias

When a lot of people think about Khaligraph, they see the OG as a rapper whom very few others want to mess with whether lyrically or otherwise. He is not only talented but a behemoth of a man, being both tall and muscle-bound.

Bora Pesa- Khaligraph Jones Shares His Point Of View On Curtain-Raising For International Artists

He burst onto the scene in a similar fashion to the way 50 Cent did, beefing with other established rappers. His target of choice, however, was singularly just Octopizzo. And my word, he let the man feel his lyrical wrath. And while Octopizzo too is a competent rapper, he was not interested in engaging in beef with Khaligraph, viewing him as small fry.

The OG however, used the little buzz he got from Octo and continued to release hit after hit and he eventually cemented himself within the collective Kenyan psyche for being not just a great lyricist but also a certified hit rapper. Nearly every song he released was a banger, a trend that continues to date.

Mulamwah’s Millions

He set up a studio to ensure he had full control over his creative process and it is called Blue Ink. But this is not about that venture as many people know about it, it is about the venture that grew from his other passion, he has a vehicle restoration garage, Omollo Customz.

It has a carwash and bodywork shop including but not limited to panel beating and paintwork (yup, even candy coating). Besides him always having a passion for vehicles, I am guessing the carwash was motivated by the fact that he once had a carwash attendant crash his still newly acquired Subaru. This was back in 2015. He probably vowed never to have to be in the same situation ever again.

How Crazy Kennar is banking on celebrity status

It is actually a very brilliant thing to do, turning your passion into a business. And, if you, like Khaligraph Jones are looking to expand your business, beyond the current location, you can partner with Co-op Bank and work out a solution with their credit service team:

That’s right, Co-op Bank is offering a credit service called the Business Plus Loan which is tailored to help you achieve your target of growing your business beyond what it currently sits at. If you have a Co-op Bank account, all you have to do is get on the MCo-opCash App and follow the instructions to find out whether you’re eligible for the Business Plan Loan.

Cashy Karimi Needs To Stop Sharing Her Issues With Khaligraph Jones

Posted on October 21, 2021 by Ozymandias

Cashy Karimi is back in the news blasting her alleged baby daddy, Khaligraph Jones. I am tired of seeing the BS but I guess she is not anywhere near tired of posting about it so here we go again.

Video: Khaligraph makes s********s revelations about Cashy in latest single

Uhuru Kenyatta lifted the curfew that had been instituted to stem the spread of the beer bug and it was not a moment too soon because it has wrecked havoc on the economy.

While the rest of the country was breathing a sigh of relief because we can get back to working, Cashy Karimi chose to use it as an opportunity to dump on Khaligraph, her baby daddy, the man she chose to breed with and sire for.

‘Time to pay up’ Cashy exposes Khaligraph Jones for neglecting 3 year old son

That is actually the crux of my issue with this entire situation. She chose the man, therefore, she is responsible and accountable for her decisions. Instead, she keeps making their issues public like we are her midwives.

I get it, she is unhappy that Khaligraph Jones allegedly moved on from her. We get it, she claims theirs was an abusive relationship meaning she probably wants to see the universe serve some sort of justice on her behalf but what does that have to do with us? That is the question no one is answering.

Weuh! Cashy shares Mpesa receipts showing how much child support Khaligraph Jones has paid in 2 years!

I would strongly suggest that Cashy Karimi simply focuses on herself and her child. She needs to focus on actually putting herself in a position to provide for their child without needing Khaligraph Jones’ input.

I would be advising her to stop telling the general public what is going on between them because when things were going great, we were not consulted on anything including the birth control method they would employ -and clearly, nothing was used.

We simply do not care and Cashy Karimi needs to understand this. Hii story ni yake na Khaligraph Jones, sijui penye tunaingilia. She chose to lay with the man and even when the relationship was toxic, she chose to persevere. She needs to keep that same energy and remain mum on whatever it is that is transpiring between them and their broken family.

Like it or not, it is Khaligraph’s time and money to choose to do with as he pleases and he is clearly not interested in either Cashy Karimi nor their child so she needs to move on and stop her unhealthy fixation with humiliating him through ill-advised public diatribe meant to elicit sympathy. So what if her feminist fans and supporters join their voices to theirs? At the end of the day, she is the only parent willing to actively parent her son she needs to focus on that.

Why Wizzo Tanonane has captured the attention of Kenyans

Posted on June 24, 2021 by Ozymandias

Wizzo Tanonane: If ever there was a random man who stumbled into fame, it would have to be him. The young man has been put at the very forefront of every Kenyan who follows celebrities and entertainment.

‘Heirras gonna hate;’ Wizzo Tanonane reveals huge amount he spent on his Silver teeth caps

To the uninitiated, he is simply a troll and hater and we are paying attention to him because he was attacking Khaligraph Jones and other celebrities but I am here to show you why your opinion on the matter sucks but mine is right.

You see, Wizzo Tanonane started out by calling Khaligraph for rocking “mbwakni” designer clothes and Jordan kicks (that means they are fake) and to his credit, the OG just brushed it off.

Who’s Laughing Now? Khaligraph Shuts Down Tanonane By Using His Slang ‘Kwani Kesho’ In His New Track

He hasn’t responded even after he was called out for rocking fake jewellery. But Wizzo Tanonane is actually right to call out Kenyan artists. Why portray a false image of success instead of reflecting the realities on the ground?

Wizzo Tanotena attacked Khaligraph Jones

That means that if your circumstances do not allow you to rock designer outfits, stop fronting. Go to Gikomba and pick out some designer outfits on thrift sales and then own that situation.

The disrespect! Khaligraph Jones belittles singer Bahati in new war of words

And that is a huge reason why there is a disconnect between Kenyans and their favourite artists. Wizzo Tanonane is speaking to our frustration at artists always trying to be flashy for a few months then coming to beg us for welfare assistance.

There are afew artists who have gotten to the point where their careers afford them afew luxuries but that is far from the reality for alot of artists. So why pretend? We often hear artists complain that they feel pressured to put up fake appearance and the question that comes to mind is, “By who?”

OGs Must Be Respected! Khaligraph Jones Bags MTN’s East African Rapper Of The Year.

Wizzo Tanonane is right, stop rocking fake Jordans when you can be guaranteed the original article from Gikomba. Stop rocking fake chains that are turning your necks green when you can simply get an actual steel chain and own the fact that you’re not yet at the level where you can buy silver or gold chains.
Let us keep things authentic. Know why? that is how you create an audience that identifies with your journey.

Siasa moto moto: Octopizzo vs Khaligraph Jones fight over ending Covid19 lockdown

Posted on April 27, 2021 by Ozymandias

Octopizzo has decided to be the consummate contrarian and has begun attacking Khaligraph Jones for his stand on whether or not to open the country and whether or not to open up the economy to allow Kenyans to get back to earning a living.

Octopizzo is not wrong about Kenyans not supporting our own but…

You see, in all fairness, they both have great reasons backing their arguments. Khaligraph Jones wants to alleviate entertainers’ financial suffering which would also allow all the people who work within the entertainment sector to get back to gainful employment.

Octopizzo, on the other hand, seems to be intimately familiar with 50 grandmothers in Kibera who have succumbed to the deaths being caused by Covid19. And so to him, the country is under lockdown for the sake of such “at-risk” demographies.

“Unafanya handshake?” Fans react to Octopizzo’s congratulatory message to Khaligraph Jones

But the truth as they say, is somewhere in between both arguments. Yes, the elderly are indeed dying in droves when exposed to Covid19 but at the same time, the millennial generation and a lot of Gen Z members who aren’t susceptible to Covid19 unless there are underlying circumstances that exacerbate their health situations when exposed to it are more at risk from financial ruin.

So what is one to do? Where should one lean in this clash of the titans? With Octopizzo or Khaligraph Jones? Should we expose the youth to financial ruin or should we instead leave the responsibility to take care of themselves to the elderly and obese?

Octopizzo made a fool of himself by supporting MCSK

I am of the opinion that there is both a shallow and deeper reason for the Octopizzo and Khaligraph schism of thought on the matter and how to handle things. For starters, Octo is salty that he was not invited by the OG to be part of the think tank formed to chart a course for how entertainers can be aided. That is the petty reason. And as a result, he is selfishly allowing his fee-fees and ego to lead him on.

Khaligraph Jones, King Kaka — Khaligraph Jones has also found his stance opposed by King Kaka who took shots at the Kayole rapper

The other reason is the clear political lines being drawn up for the elections due next year. Khaligrapph Jones reached out to both Raila Odinga and William Ruto but it was the latter who reached out and not the former who is a member of his ethnic community. Octopizzo on the other hand is leaning towards the argument being pushed by Raila Odinga.

Did Khaligraph Jones sell out or is this smart political play?

I suspect they are both (whether knowingly or ignorantly) entrenching themselves as features of the political schism that will play out between these two principle figures. Octopizzo will try and ingratiate himself to Raila thinking that was what Khaligraph Jones was doing with Ruto.

Octopizzo can pretend to having lofty reasons for standing by Covid19 lockdowns but he doesn’t really make money from the local Kenyan entertainment scene. He has international donors who keep him financially afloat. Khaligraph Jones is the more popular of the two and he makes his money from the local entertainment scene. Perhaps this tidbit of information will help you further understand why the two cannot see things from the same point of view. But at the end of the day, while Khaligraph has attempted to provide a way forward, all Octo has done is complain and ~~bitch~~. So if all you like doing is to complain, you know with whom you stand.

Did Khaligraph Jones sell out or is this smart political play?

Posted on April 26, 2021 by Ozymandias

Khaligraph Jones recently cried out to both William Ruto and Raila Odinga for help with the ramifications of the poorly thought out Covid19 lockdown measures that were instituted by Uhuru Kenyatta who doesn’t seem to give a damn about the economy or the suffering these measures have unleashed on Kenyans.

Khaligraph Jones has shown a keen understanding of how politics should be handled

You see, these lockdown measures are ~~bullshit~~ because they fail to take into account the fact that Kenya has no social welfare programs that take care of the underprivileged and affected Kenyans who are struggling to pay rent or earn a living.

And entertainers are some of the most affected as their source of livelihood was inordinately targeted and Khaligraph Jones was unhappy that he has been exposed to ruinous circumstances because his main source of income is affected.

It’s about to get lit! Khaligraph Jones and Nyashinski spotted together at unknown recording studio – sparking collabo rumors

When he called out for help, Raila Odinga ignored him but Ruto decided to try and meet up with him and his fellow artists so that they can discuss how best to help the affected artists, DJs, comedians and other entertainers.

Khaligraph has been called out by afew artists for selling out

But now Khaligraph Jones is faced with some measure of blowback from other artists who feel that he has sold out by turning to one of the people who a lot of Kenyans rightfully feel is responsible for putting us in this garbage situation.

Prophecy foretold? Khaligraph Jones’ words of wisdom come back to haunt Shakilla, 2 years later (Video)

King Kaka and Octopizzo are the most vocal in declaring their disagreement with Khaligraph Jones’ approach and I am not too sure why they are pontificating and bellyaching instead of looking for a solution.

You see, Khaligraph Jones is an artist but he is also a father and husband. An entire family depends on him to provide for them. And as such, he has to do anything he can to improve his situation so he can get back to earning as much as he possibly can.

Why King Kaka’s plus size video vixen stunt backfired

When it comes to fixing situations, we have to understand that while some might not agree with his approach, they cannot do anything but shut up until they find some course of action that they implement. Activity trounces opinions and suggestions.

If Khaligraph Jones is to be condemned for trying to alleviate his personal suffering, it will not be from artists who have done absolutely nothing to solve their own headaches. We cannot foster a culture in which grown men would rather complain and whine than be proactive and take action.

If Octopizzo and King Kaka want to show Khaligraph Jones up, it will only be through action. Them sharing their feelings on social media will not be doing anything because we are in a put up or shut up situation. But time will tell whether or not

Khaligraph Jones has shown a keen understanding of how politics should be handled

Posted on April 20, 2021 by Ozymandias

Khaligraph Jones has been demonized heavily this past week after he sought to find a solution for the Uhuru Kenyatta mandated Covid 19 lockdowns that many people have argued against as it is so ill-informed and poorly executed, it is causing more harm than good to Kenyans and our economy.

Never seen before photo of Khaligraph Jones wife as a plus size!

Sure, there are some voices supporting the measures but when you talk to people who aren’t involved in the stealing and looting of Covid 19 loans, you will find that an overwhelming majority of Kenyans are against the punitive measures.

And Khaligraph Jones decided to use his voice to directly address the deputy president and former prime minister, William Ruto and Raila Odinga to try and seek a way for him to help alleviate his suffering as entertainers are some of the most affected in all this mess.

It’s about to get lit! Khaligraph Jones and Nyashinski spotted together at unknown recording studio – sparking collabo rumors

And at this point, the political fractures in our country were exposed. Khaligraph Jones’ fans were divided along political (and ethnic lines) as those who support either faction saw it as a problem that he was trying to consort with the other faction.

Even other artists called him out and began to attack him based on what he had posted as they tried to virtue signal how noble their political intent is and how aware they are of their civic duties and rights but that is the type of diatribe that solves nothing as the prevalent situation persists.

Georgina reveals hubby’s, Khaligraph Jones soft side that fans know nothing about

You see, OG is approaching this from a very smart place as he knows that you can only negotiate with someone who would want something from you. And in this case, Uhuru Kenyatta has shown he doesn’t care for anything nor anyone and all this is just an ego trip as he enjoys exerting his power over the lives of ordinary Kenyans.

Khaligraph Jones is being a smart man because when we look at the political landscape, whoever feels they can benefit more from an alliance and it is clearly William Ruto in this case who is eager to forge a way forward that is mutually beneficial to both parties.

Prophecy foretold? Khaligraph Jones’ words of wisdom come back to haunt Shakilla, 2 years later (Video)

Now, think back to what I said about Otile Brown yapping about being civic aware… What solution is on the offing from his approach? You have to crack a few eggs to make an omelette and Khali is aware of that. Think about it, from William Ruto, given the context of our political landscape, Uhuru Kenyatta is bound to take notice of what is happening.

He is the smart guy here. He is getting involved to sort out his problems. They affect his stomach so he is now moving to solve his headache. I would suggest we learn from this enlightened selfishness.

Kenyan celebs only get political when their stomachs are threatened and that is not wrong

Posted on March 31, 2021 by Ozymandias

Kenyan celebrities such as Khaligraph Jones, Dj Joe Mfalme and all the rest only ever get political when their stomachs are on the line and while this seems like a self-serving trait, it is actually how we are supposed to engage in political discourse.

From Omosh to Alvan and David Major: Kenyan celebs cannot keep lying that we do not support them

You see, Kenyan celebs are inherently selfish. The likes of Khaligraph Jones and DJ Joe Mfalme, Bahati and all your favourite acts are all just driven by their stomachs. They do not care whether or not things go right for you or the rest of the nation unless it affects their bottom line and at that point, they begin to rally people to their cause.

This is actually done for two reasons that IQ want us to delve deeper into so I can prove that this is actually how the rest of Kenyans should engage in politics and with politicians especially if we want a mature democracy rather than the low IQ political discourse that usually happens centred around tribal and ethnic political thinking.

Meet Dgohnie, the man behind the dope hairstyles of most female Kenyan celebs

Kenyan celebrities are just beginning to talk publicly about the national lockdown and curfew that is in force and they are doing so because they more than anyone else have been disproportionately affected and they are losing income and they can no longer perform at night and even public gatherings are restricted. And the reason they are doing this is that they are usually beholden to politicians who are either their patrons or whose supporters will divide themselves along tribal lines meaning celebs can actually lose face an fans by supporting the wrong political factions.

DJ Joe Mfalme — Dj Joe Mfalme has joined in with the voices of artists calling for Kenya to be unlocked

A case in point would be with BBI that is currently being debated. Can you imagine a Jaluo artist publicly saying they are against it when the Luo lynchpin and kingmaker, Raila Odinga has been canvassing the country drumming up support for BBI? Or someone from Ruto’s backyard saying they support BBI. That could be career suicide.
And so Khaligraph Jones and Octopizzo cannot really be seen to be going against the grain of their ethnicity. So you have to understand why they avoid getting political unless their pockets are being affected.

Lilian Muli is an example of why you must never take Kenyan celeb advice seriously

Then there is the real reason why Kenyan celebs are smart for only speaking when their stomachs are affected: that is what politics is all about -self-interest. Too often, Kenyans vote against their own self-interest simply because their political chieftain and the sycophantic witchdoctors they keep around them tell them it is what is in the best interest for their tribe.

Bahati was among the first to call for the country to be opened up

If there is anything we should learn from Kenyan celebs such as Khaligraph Jones, DJ Joe Mfalme and all the others calling for the country to be unlocked is that we should only ever engage our political leaders to guide their agendas… No, to demand that their agendas reflect our interests. demand your MP goes to parliament and pushes for some sort of social security for you if your job has been affected by the lockdowns. Insist your governor put in place measures to protect you from getting kicked out of your home or you and your family having to sleep hungry.

And I can only hope that our mind;ling intelligence celebrities can now learn how to plan well in advance and see that their self interests should not only be addressed when things are dire. They need to start protecting themselves well in advance.

Khaligraph Jones mzungu wife introduces adorable baby boy weeks after giving birth (Photos)

Posted on October 26, 2020 by Pauline Syombua

Khaligraph Jones is now a father of 3 all thanks to his beautiful wife, Georgina Muteti who recently welcomed their son.

The excited couple announced this on their social media pages where they shared several photos of the new born; and judging from the few photos making rounds on social media, let’s just say Mr Omollo’s genes are quite strong.

Anyway, this is the first time the Omollos are pulling a fast one on fans; but we also can’t overlook the fact that keeping their private life off social media is more safer for their children especially with mean comments coming from idle fans.

Khaligraph Jones mzungu son

Well, so far we understand rapper Khaligraph Jones has two sons; his first born son, Xolani with Cashy and now another one with Georgina.

Just a few weeks ago the fella was accused of neglecting his 2 year old son by not proving any support. This is after their son fell ill and since he had no medical cover; the young boy had to suffer due to his father’s alleged neglect.

But we also cannot judge as we know nothing about their coparenting agreement nor the issues forcing them (Khaligraph and Georgina) to get ugly on each other. Anyway below are a few photos of the new born son turning heads on social media.

Why Khaligraph Jones stands out as the biggest supporter of young talent in music

Posted on July 6, 2020 by Branny

For the longest time, Khaligraph Jones has been playing the big brother role to the younger artists. How?

Look at this way the self declared OG is one man that has believed in young talent all through his career. He is always the first to take up collaborations of artists that he believes in.

In other words, he plays the guardian angel role.

Back when Willy Paul was still a gospel artist , Khaligraph jumped to the Bora Uhai song and it was an instant hit. But of course you wouldn’t miss the holier than thou judges.

That aside he came in with Masauti’s Kiboko remix we loved the music. Since then Masauti is a talent you wouldn’t want to miss on any show.

Futher more Khaligraph appears as the ego centered kind of celebrity considering his rap style. However how do you dismiss a man who just stand stands his ground and takes criticism and trashes hate?

That’s what stance looks like.

The fact that anything the Og jumps to is good makes his the biggest supported of young talent.Recently he did a rap verse in the song by Materpiece dubbed “Nikupee”.

OG’s Versatility

Khaligraph’s music is basically rap mostly in English and he has had a fare share of insults from the “fans in denial”. However, this is what got him the award of best hip hop artist in Nigeria, back in January 2020.

Also read: Khaligraph Jones opens up about his battle with depression!

Having been in the industry, he is one of the artist that understand what the struggle looks like. Him opting to support fellow artists both in secular and gospel scene makes him stand out.

If only many upcoming artists would get support from their seniors artists I believe their would be tremeondous growth.

But this will only happen if young talents seek the help they need in making music instead of being one hit wonders.

Besides this industry especially in Kenya is the most unforgiving nobody cares about you if you don’t deliver. So even if the same the same Khaligraph calls us fans in denial, I believe we know what we want in music.

Also don’t forget there are other artist that have been pushing young talents. These include VDJ Jonnes, Mejja , JuaCali among others.

How Khaligraph Jones completely pummeled Octopizzo in their beef

Posted on June 25, 2020 by Ozymandias

Khaligraph Jones dominated Octopizzo in the last half of their beef and he did it so definitively that he even went as far as to try to make peace with his former foe, acknowledging that the beef was his doing just to gain some clout.

Savage! Ethic ranks Octopizzo among top female hiphop artists in Kenya

Whatever the case may be and whomever you side with on the matter, the fact still remains that Octopizzo was blown out of the water by Khaligraph. Why you ask? Because at the height of his fame, he never got to the levels Khaligraph Jones is currently at.

You see, when the beef started, Octopizzo was at critical mass, he was at the point where his ascendancy was just beginning. he came through with a slew of hits, even putting Vicmas Luodollar on the map with their collaboration but he got to a point where he couldn’t ascend any further.

Octopizzo should pull up his socks before it’s too late

Khaligraph Jones, on the other hand, has steadily been climbing to the pinnacle and even while he at the top of the totem pole at the moment he still seems to find new nooks and crannies to get himself into that make his star shine brighter.

That is why when you look at the views of their music, when it comes to clout and fame across the border, Khaligraph Jones has it all. When it comes to the influence over the culture, especially in this space of influence over culture, Khaligraph is tops.

“I will rap about marijuana until it gets legalized!” Octopizzo declares

He has managed to get to a level where Octopizzo never did. And the thing is, they are both pretty similar. Both are from the same ethnic community, both are from similar, impoverished backgrounds and both have cultivated the personal of ~~assholes~~.

And make no mistake about it, this isn’t my way of saying that Octopizzo was never a superstar he was. To the point, he even got mzungu attention and got invited into their spaces and was made a Un Ambassador for something. But perhaps this is where he lost his edge. Inorder for Octopizzo, Namba Nanae’s Finest, to ascend into those spaces, he had to shed his uncultured behaviours and personas. that cost him with the average Kenyan music fan who themselves are uncultured in their tastes.

Khaligraph Jones addresses rumors linking him to using steroids to gain muscles

Khaligraph, on the other hand, came onto the scene with a fake accent. That was what everyone used to troll him but beyond that, he kept it uncultured. And when he explained the accent, Kenyans could understand why he had adopted it to begin with. To see whether it would open doors. And Kenyans could relate.

Also, while Octo shied away from doing heavy collaborations with fellow Kenyan acts, preferring instead to keep his music down to only having his voice and adlibs, Khaligraph Jones tactfully collaborated with people to the extent of having playful beefs with individuals.

“Chungeni sana ama niwafagilie nyinyi wote!” Khaligraph Jones warns Wasafi Records Mbosso and Lava Lava

And as a result, people gravitated more to Khaligraph. And that was how he won his beef. But whatever the case may be, can you imagine how heavy some collaborative work between the two would be?

Why no male Kenyan celebrity should complain about cyber bullying

Posted on April 29, 2020 by Ozymandias

Kenyan celebrities have added a new word to their lexicon and my word they are using it to no end and that word is cyberbullying. As such, many Kenyan female celebrities such as Nadia Mukami have cried about cyberbullying. And she is by no means the only one who has done so with Lillian Muli and Lynda Nyangweso too. Even Bahati and Khaligraph Jones have addressed the issue of cyberbullying and here is where I draw the line.

Celebrities Vs KOT: Cyber Bullying being a norm is sending many to depression

That is not to say that Kenyan celebrities arent indeed getting cyberbullied. Afterall a recent study was done on the international digital phenomenon and Kenyans were highlighted as being a particularly nasty part of the puzzle with the way Kenyans on Twitter delight in tearing down anyone who they feel has earned their ire.
We have seen Lynda Nyangweso get attacked for her weight for no reason other than the fact that someone felt her voice didn’t match her size. Such an incident is disposable and should be condemned as it rightfully was.

Perhaps the case can be made that Kenyan celebrities merely bear the brunt of Kenyan culture which has bullying entrenched as a form of initiation as form ones (monos) often get hazed and bullied when they join high school.

Bully number One! KOT impressed after one Fridah exposes Mulamwah for online bullying and threatening her life

My focus today, however, isn’t the cultural reason for cyberbullying but to critique the manner in which male Kenyan celebrities belly ache about getting cyberbullied. Perhaps this is an old fashioned, nearly Old Testament approach to masculinity, but I have been raised to believe that we as men must be stoic.

So it befuddled and boggles the mind to see men decry getting called on social media although they never fully thought through what being a celebrity is all about. This is by no means my telling rappers like Khaligraph Jones not to hit back at the haters because after all, one mustn’t dish out what they cannot take. And rappers such as Eminem and Kanye West have famously lashed out at haters and critics but with one major difference. They did not try to cast themselves in the light of victims. They did not try to cut the image of the defeated. They did indeed acknowledge their underdog status but they opted to fight on rather than bitch out.

Azziad Nasenya speaks up on claims of referring to Diamond Platnumz as ‘a woman eater!’ (Interview)

But Ozymandias, how can you be so sure about this fact? Well, because men are meant to be stoic. Men are meant to be the rocks of society. If a male Kenyan celebrity cannot deal with the unwanted attention that comes hand-in-hand with the love they receive, then the path is clear, quit. Or log off your computer and go outside to the real world. That is always the option they have. Kenyan celebrities need to stop bellyaching and start realizing that they could always simply switch off their comment section and limit access to their DMs.

Think about it. What stops Jimmy Gait from switching off the comments on his Youtube videos? What’s to stop Jimmy Gait from stopping people from commenting on his social media profiles? I really do not understand why he cries about such things. Yes, there are some horrible people in this world. But we all face the unfairness of life and when you can mute it, do so. I shouldn’t have to remind these men that they have elected to let this negativity remain in their lives as they refuse to handle the situation.
Khaligraph Jones is a fantastic example of what Kenyan male celebrities should do when faced with haters; put that angst into music instead of whining. Create music so good, even your haters have no choice but to clap for you.

Why Khaligraph Jones new song “Hao” is contrived

Posted on April 24, 2020 by Ozymandias

Khaligraph Jones, one of Kenya’s most prolific rappers and entertainers, released a song called, Hao which has been a major hit, and not just with his fanbase. Fellow celebrities have applauded him for standing up for them.

And the main reason Khaligraph’s song has had such an overwhelmingly positive reception among his peers is that a lot of celebrities feel victimized by cyberbullies. So they feel that he has championed their cause. but this outlook is not just contrived, it is fallacious.

In the music video, Khaligraph jones highlights different articles and story pieces broken by leading entertainment writers as examples of how we as a society break down our entertainers and celebrities. The problem with this argument is that it only holds water if the news pieces are false or figments of the writer’s imagination.
So tell us ndugu, were the stories false?

Case in point would be the much-publicized story about Esther Arunga. For those of you not old enough to understand the reference, she was once a high flying media personality. She hosted prime time news on KTN and was the nation’s darling. She came off as educated and intelligent and was well-spoken.
She, however, fell in love with a man who many believe led her astray called Quincy Timberlake. As her professional and personal life fell apart, the couple migrated their family to Australia where they made a new life for themselves. Afew years after this happened, word broke that the couple had lost a child. They are both currently incarcerated so you draw your own conclusions on that.

Why Bahati shutting down EMB Records is a blow to Kenyan gospel

When Khaligraph Jones highlighted the fact on his song, it was although he was blaming the writer of the piece for doing his job. The writer, one Uncle Chim Tuna, highlighted the fact that while The Timberlakes’ familial was in upheaval, her erstwhile mentor and pastor, Joseph Hellon had gone on to have a calm and steady familial life:

And therein is the main bone of contention about this song. It seems to want us to exonerate celebrities of all their inequities simply because they are celebrities. What a shocker. A celebrity wants us to overlook the misdeeds of other celebrities.
Sure Khaligraph Jones has a point, some of the artists he has mentioned are victims of cyberbullying. Guys like Stivo Simple Boy have had it rough yet he has done nothing worth trolling. Others like Bahati, however, have earned the ire of their fans and pundits alike and are simply stewing in a soup of their own making.

Bahati responds to Khaligraph Jones diss!

And so it is hard to watch this video and not feel it is contrived to make celebrities out to look innocent. Some of them even while they are part of murder investigations and criminal case proceedings.

And also at the heart of this, the argument is a moot one because it calls back to memory the argument that corporate America had against the budding genre of Gangsta Rap back in the late 80s and early 90s. Ice Cube even put out a rebuttal song called Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It. The argument was always that Gangsta Rap caused a spike in the rate at which crimes were being committed. The same ways now, the media is responsible for destroying lives by reporting about the ~~bullshit~~ celebrities are doing.

Why a collaboration between Octopizzo and Khaligraph might be a big flop

Posted on February 24, 2020 by Branny

It was just the other day when Khaligraph Jones called out on Octopizzo for a collabo in his new song “Yes Bana”.

In that song that he featured Sauti Sol’s Bien Baraza, the self declared OG asks Octo why they ain’t in talking terms.

He goes ahead and says,” Na mi sina beef na Ohanga (Spendii)
Ohanga hunitakii kwa nini? (Yes bana)
Mbona usifanye traki na mimi? (Yes bana)
Tutop hizi chart za mjini (Yes bana)
After that you will be happy amini (Yes bana)

Well, this is the thing these two chaps are incredible Kenyan rappers with two different styles of rap.

I mean we all know how Khali does his thing, fast-paced kind of rap, while Mr. Ohanga is much slower. But that is not the point.

These lads have a diverse audience Khali does music that is more of the street than just any other artists.

Having created a basis on the African scene one can argue that the OG is actually the best right now. Especially after he declared himself the best rapper in Nigeria.The guts!!

Also read: Octopizzo Vs Khaligraph: Whose music approach is better?

On the other hand, Octopizzo has his style that cleary has that international market target feel. His music seems cannot be put off entirely ideally because he is a Kenyan artist.

But again as they say home is best and I feel he should also try focus home kidogo.

Collaboration flop in the offing?

Now with all that perspective in one place, the duo can do good music, yes but it will not be well received by fans.

In fact, it will only elicit conversations among netizens then that’s it and we will all go back to hoping for better.

A collabo should be sweet and easy for fans to relate with. So for one, this will highly be a disappointment to fans especially if does not top charts as Khaligraph would hope for. However it’s a wait and see thing.

It is time for Kenyan music to get more respect in Africa

Posted on December 30, 2019 by Catherine Nderitu

Kenyan music has for a long time been neglected in the African music table. First Kenyan artistes are producing good music better than what their competitors are doing in Africa continent.

With the likes of Sauti Sol, Khaligraph Jones, Nyashinski and the Gengetone groups, Kenya is far much better. It is sad that Kenyan music is not respected on the continent.

To start with, even Kenyan event organisers have helped the world in trashing our own talents. I do not understand how a Kenyan born event organiser shamelessly goes to the neighbouring country to source for artistes to perform in Kenya. This is pure BS.

I know that most of these people will walk on into national TV interviews claiming how Kenyan music is underdeveloped. Do you wanna know why? You are the reason why there is less of music growth in Kenya. How on earth will you explain inviting Mbosso to come and perform in Kenya in a coastal cultural event? Does he even understand that culture? Are there no local artistes in that culture?

It is high time this nonsense stopped. Start promoting what is ours. How many times have you heard those Tanzanians invite Kenyan artistes in their mega-events? If there is any proof table it.

Mean African artistes who only think of their Growth

Recently, Diamond whose music is played in Kenya shamelessly organised a mega event and had no guts to invite even Akothee a close friend.

The Bongo star took his legs and fame all the way to Nigeria to please them whereas here they are saying let’s support East Africa.

I fail to understand who this East Africa is. To add on, these Tanzanian artistes are very mean and only want to succeed alone. If the Tetema had good intentions, it would not have hurt with Sauti Sol being part of the Wasafi Festival.

Failed media in Kenya who want fame globally but not at home

In addition, there are big media houses in Kenya who will go miles and miles to pay tickets for foreign artistes to fly in Kenya. Common dummies, how many local artistes would you have paid to grace your events? Who said imported content is better? Just know you are ones who have signed a death sentence for Kenyan Music.

The other day Khaligraph Jones was nominated for an award, I am sure none of the so-called event organisers have taken their time to vote.

Actually, 2019 should have served as an eye-opener to the majority of Kenyans and see that stand all alone in the game. They need to know that Kenya has good music than even Nigeria and Tanzania.

Also, imagine the rate at which Sailors Gang and Ethic Entertainment have received recognition abroad. Why don’t we do the same for other local artistes?

We will only rise if we market our music. Tanzania, Nigeria, South Africa and Uganda have done it. Why not us? We are better than they are.

In conclusion, if you have stones to throw, then this is the right time to do because I will use them to build better grounds in the fight for KENYAN MUSIC.

Khaligraph Jones back with a real story on ‘Ruby”

Posted on November 25, 2019 by Catherine Nderitu

Khaligraph Jones pays tribute to his ex-girlfriend Ruby in a very emotional song. The rapper who at first freelanced about the Ruby girl talked so much about her and later released a song in her honour.

In the song, Khaligraph Jones talks of how she committed suicide after learning that she had contracted HIV. Also, the rapper in the song says he feels bad when he remembers her. Did I forget to tell you that she was Ruby Jezebel?

Now you know that this was before the rapper was dumped by the lass before she later committed suicide. This was long before he met his immediate ex-girlfriend Miss Cashy and later hooking up with his girlfriend Georgina Muteti with whom they are blessed with a son, Amali Jones Ouko.

Ruby is a real-life story of Khaligraph Jones ex-lover

He took to Instagram to talk of the traumatic experience with Ruby, something which he says he has never shared with anyone.

First, this is soo sad and no one deserves to go through hell even if shit has happened to them.

In addition, the music video titled Ruby, he narrates how he met her after high school while he was working as a bouncer.

A traumatic experience And no, am not asking for your help But hii kitu iliniumiza Listen up. He says that all he needs is for people to listen.

Fine gyal originally she was from Nakuru But upon kufika Nai she settled in Buruburu She was 19 I guess siko sure about the age but the first time we met ilikuwa ni Buru stage. In this stanza, Khaligraph Jones tells on how he got to meet Ruby who was just 19 years old.

Ruby was working in Westy, front desk She was earning more than me, I was hoping I won’t mess Coz most of the time, ye ndo alikuwa ananipa fare Hakuna siku ingepita kama Ruby hajaniombea. Also, according to Khaligraph Jones Ruby was his support system.

In conclusion, the song gets a rating of 7/10.

Artist Spotlight: Silverstone Barz, female rapper who’s flow has mesmerized Kenyans

Posted on September 30, 2019 by David Kingsley

There’s a new female rapper in town and she didn’t come to play. Her name is Silverstone Barz and what saddens me is that most people, including yours truly, came to know about her after she featured in Khaligraph’s Khali Cartel 3.

Just like her second name, this lass has some dope bars. If you listen to her rapping, you would even think she’s from majuu since her lyrics are only in English. No Sheng’, Swahili or any other language.

She refers to herself as the punchline queen and I have no qualms with that. In my opinion, her performance in Khali Cartel 3 was totally out of this world. The only other person who came close to her was Rekles. Fight me.

Silverstone Barz

Interestingly, Silverstone Barz has been in the game for a minute. She released a lit freestyle titled Big (Young Ma) in but it barely got any attention until recently.

Some people are already referring to this lass who is also drop-dead gorgeous as Kenya’s Nicki Minaj and I could not agree more because they both spit fire.

It is only a matter of time before Silverstone Barz becomes a household name and we can’t thank Khaligraph enough for bringing her to the spotlight. These days, I wonder how many more talented rappers, female or male, are just out there waiting to be discovered.

Watch Big (Young Ma) below and tell us what you think.

Naiboi is back with ‘Sondeka’ 2 featuring All Stars

Posted on September 16, 2019 by Catherine Nderitu

Naiboi is back with Sondeka part 2 featuring All Stars. Those featured in this jam are ExRay, Kristoff, Fena, Benzema, Femi One, Mordecai, V6 and Khaligraph Jones. Sondeka part 2 is introduced by Dj Shitti a comedian and an actor. It is a great collabo where all those mentioned have performed a stanza.

Also, Sondeka part 2 is a continuation of Sondeka part 1. In this jam Naiboi is talking about correcting certain behavior in human beings.

Sondeka Part 2 is all about what?

To start with, you’ll notice that these artists are also talking about MCSK. This is in line with the recent payments they made to the musicians and angered them.

They say that they are correcting that. It says that tabia ya kukali wasanii na MCSK tunasondeka. Also, they talk of how people are jealousy when they see one with a big car.

Naiboi is very talented and the way he also performs his lines is just good.

To add on they go ahead to talk about how people should stop lying. Khaligraph Jones talks of how one is telling them she is in Dubai and in real sense she is in a matatu ya Mwangi.. This is crazy. Also he goes ahead to add on how MCSK sent him Ksh 2530.

Whatever the thing they want to correct seems to have affected them so much. I like how Khaligraph says that someone talks of Uhuru being their relative whereas the only person who knows then is Dj Shitti.

Niaboi is very creative in this Sondeka jam. The fact that he has brought a couple of artists on board shows team work. Sondeka has been produced by Rixx. The video is super good and quality.

It is a combination of great voices and this has come up with something good. Actually the song will leave you laughing at some point. Naiboi needs to be congratulated on this one.

In conclusion, Sondeka part 2 by Naiboi is a cool jam and you should listen to it. It gets a rating of 7/10.

This is the sick hip hop track from Abbas, Khaligraph and Wakadinali that Kenyans should be playing this week

Posted on August 20, 2019 by Pauline Syombua

Rappers Wakadinali, Abbas Kubaff and Khaligraph Jones have united for a new song dubbed “High Noon”.

The song has been produced by Ares 66 and unites the three rappers who you can say are the best in Kenya. Wakadinali is the new underground hip hop group that’s currently controlling underground Kenyan hip hop.

Hip-hop greats

Khaligraph Jones, as we all know, has been topping the mainstream rap scene with his hard-hitting bangers while veteran rapper Abbas Kubaff, who returned to Kenya for a minute, has been the hip hop king in Kenya for a long time now.

“High noon” is a track speaking about the street lifestyle and of course getting high on that good weed.

Listen to it below:

“Tutakuja Kuwavuruga huko mbaya sana!” Khaligraph Jones among other artistes lash out at MCSK for paying them peanuts

Posted on August 14, 2019 by Pauline Syombua

After Khaligraph Jones decided to tell off MCSK for sending him Ksh 2,530 as payment for his music; it now seems that other artistes have also come out to protest against them!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B1HW2WYhjTO/?igshid=yo28n7dryi6l

This is because it appears that the Music Copyright Society of Kenya Ltd has been ripping them off and benefiting from the artistes hard work; yet they don’t bother to reward the musicians what they truly deserve.

Petty Royalties

According to King Kaka, MCSK might have received about Ksh 37Million that is if you multiply the Ksh 2500 by the number of artistes (15000) registered under MCSK.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B1HsXgoDqbm/?igshid=1rhtdxb83rnp8

He went on to add that all they do is buy new cars and feed themselves with other people’s money….but this is about to come to an end.

Fena Gitu also couldn’t hold back from calling out the MCSK for paying her peanuts as royalties to her music she posted saying;

Magix Enga brings ‘Bami’ with Khaligraph Jones

Posted on July 31, 2019 by Catherine Nderitu

Magix Enga together wwith Khaligraph Jones brings you Bami. This song is just a great with two big names. The OG is really doing great. Magix Enga known for his good production skills merges with Papa Jones after their last jam Shida last year.

It is not often that we get to see a collaboration between a producer and a musician. Khaligraph Jones and Magix Enga have proved something new.

Much is knownon what Khaligraph can do music wise but very little on Magix Enga as a musician.

Bami is a very good jam ad the only way to weigh strengths of the duo is to get the message of this jam. The collab is Magix Enga’s first official single and music video under his new record label, Magix Empire.

The talented producer is behind the audio production of Bami while the video is shot and directed by Deska Torres. Khaligraph has rapped in Luo in this jam making the comment section on youtube lit.

Message in ‘Bami’

Ayiech Malich, Mkono Nika Za Bolo Yeung Kwala combi ya Nikki na Amber Lulu(Iyee) Naeza mchongea miti ka Shaka Zulu Navile anaongea fiti inakaa anaotea quickie Apo ukingojea Missy inakuwanga nduru(haha). Even though I am not conversant with Dholuo, I can atleast say he is comparing the girl with Mbolo Yeung and Amber Lulu. Quite funny!!

Also in this line he describes the woman like one in need of a person to invest in her. Vile umejibeba, inakaa unataka investor Vile unapendeza, chupa ka Vydia Dester Miniskirt ya leather, kibenje Gucci texture Sifa kwa Ebenezer juu ya vile unatutesa(Omollo). Seems like this girl is very expensive it is all a designer deal.

Lastly, the chorus will capture your attention. It goes like this; Oooh beiby gyal Stand up and whine your waist With your big bami whine your waist (Oooh yeah). I tend to think that Bami means Booty.

In conclusion, Magix Enga and Khaligraph Jones get a rating of 7/10 on Bami.

Here is why Kenyan music cannot sell internationally

Posted on July 5, 2019 by Catherine Nderitu

When we talk of music, we forget to state that this is art. It is something that people need to keep being entertained. I am sure we are all lovers of music which genre it is. Today the industry is filled with a lot of artists both old age and new age artists.

There is something that we fail to note with our artistes be it from whichever age. I remember someone debate about playing Kenyan music. You’ll argue with me on this but we have to state facts. No one will force me to listen to content that I do not like. You realize that most radio hosts said give them something that is of content and they will play it.

By now we should realize that only a few of our artists have made it internationally and onto the East Africa Market. It is funny that some of the local artists work is only played on their local stations which is also a hustle.

Reasons Kenyan music will not sell

Most of these artists have a shallow mind. What do I mean? When composing their work they only see their surrounding. They fail to realize that the local community is probably 10% of their audience. The only look at something that pleases the few but deep inside they went to sell. Come on one needs to think wide and far.

Secondly, there is no content. Yes there is no content. I know you’ll throw stones on this. Like how do you expect the likes of Lamba lolo, Pekejeng, Wamlambez, Figa to sell internationally? It is a good that they want to fit in a certain environment but what about the long-term goal?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilnOAwKuZLQ

Even if the likes of Ethic, Sailors, Zzero Sufuri are selling now, the question is for how long will they survive the industry?

This is crap, these boys need to think and re-evaluate their music. It will play for sometime and then boom, it is already forgotten. We do not need this, we need something that anybody from whichever part of the world can listen to.

Also, laziness is something that is eating up our artists. They want things to come easy for them. To sell you need to invest your time and resources. I must say that most of Kenyan artists work is of low quality. How do we expect this to compete at the international level?

There some artists who have been able to climb the international ladder like Khaligraph Jones, King Kaka, Nyashinski, Nameless to mention but a few. These are people from America, no they have made it their business to do great things and market their work.

For now I’ll stop there. But again, lets embrace music that is making sense and something that can go out there. There are words that can also be won by Kenyans. Go for good producers and directors to come out with something better.

It only requires a willing heart, dedication and the urge to entertain a larger group of people.

“If you have a problem with me hit the unfollow button!” Khaligraph Jones tells off critics

Posted on July 3, 2019 by Pauline Syombua

Rapper Khaligraph Jones is not willing to entertain anyone telling him how to live his life.

Khaligraph stated this through his Instagram story just recently and I am assuming his followers were not shocked since the rapper has lately been savagely clapping back at most negative comments left on his page.

This time around he however made a video where the rapper is heard telling off critics on his gram.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BzbFcvihmaI/?igshid=101ybjpsh4zdc

According to Khaligraph, no one can tell him how to live his life or how to carry him; therefore these haters should leave him alone or unfollow him if the pressure is too much to handle.

Too proud to handle correction?

A few weeks ago, the rapper was advised by several mothers on his page to avoid shaking his newborn so much as she was still fragile to handle this.

Others went on to add that it was not good for the baby’s brain; however Khaligraph Jones could here none of that.

He went on to bash the mothers telling him how to handle his baby and as of now; the rapper has made it clear that if he makes anyone uncomfortable with what he posts, then they can unfollow!

Khaligraph Jones says ‘Leave Me Alone’ in his new jam

Posted on June 27, 2019 by Catherine Nderitu

Khaligraph Jones is back with a new jam dubbed Leave Me Alone. The self proclaimed OG has been rocking the Kenyan Hiphop industry for quit sometime now.

He really doesn’t care in what people think about him. He has taken a notch higher in what he does and he has even gone international.

Leave Me Alone seems to be addressing people who try to bring him down. If you can’t keep up with the… Jones leave me alone. Nyi manyoka na washuku. He does not hesitate to say what is in his mind.

He talks about people spreading rumors in this jam. I can’t stop laughing when he says si ndio huenda ruracio kuotea soda na chapo. I can only imagine how true this statement can be.

Video Production

Khaligraph got standards. Leave Me Alone has been shot in Dallas TX and Houston (USA). Leave me Alone video is just great. Also, the graphics are standard. You what? Khaligraph sets standards for Kenyan artists.

The visuals and the sound have been treated with justice. I mean look at the introduction shots, they have great effects. In addition, the beats are just in line with the lyrics. Leave Me Alone has been presented by Blu Ink Corp. In addition, the audio is the work of Aress 66 at Blu Ink studios.

Leave Me Alone Lyrics

The lyrics are so simple to understand. They have been delivered in a way that one can easily understand. When he says; Leave me alone, achana na me, leave me alone wachana na mimi. Usinipigie simu don’t call my phone. You get the vibe he is trying to bring out.

In conclusion, I’d like to say that this guy really knows his market. In less than 24hrs the video had already hit 77K views on youtube. Khaligraph is doing well and this jam for me is great. Although there is a lot of bile. Leave Me Alone gets a rating of 7/10.

Below is a link to the video.

Rapper Joefes to replace Octopizzo and Khaligraph as the new king of bars?

Posted on April 26, 2019 by Pauline Syombua

For a while now rap music in Kenyan entertainment industry has been showing great potential thanks to the likes of Octopizzo, Khaligraph Jones among other many.

Joefes

However not many rappers have been able to hold their spot in the rap game; and for this reason new artists keep joining this game to portray their potential.

Kilometers

One Joefes who has been putting in extra efforts in his music career is currently showing signs of taking over hiphop thanks to his creative bars and style.

So far he has released a number of songs but his latest song dubbed Kilometers has left many dumbfound by controversial bars that will leave you rewinding the song over and over.

Despite his young age, there is no doubt that he will soon be the talk of town and the song below can form this.

Khaligraph Jones finally drops video of his banger “Gwala” with Nigerian rapper Ycee

Posted on January 25, 2019 by Pauline Syombua

Rapper Khaligraph Jones continues putting Kenyan music on the map. Jones has now collaborated with Nigerian rapper Ycee for his new song “Gwala”.

The song was in his album “Testimony 1990” released last year. The video was shot in Lagos Nigeria by director TG Omori while the song was produced by Motiff under Blu ink record record label, which is Khaligraph’s label.

Debate

During his recent Nigerian trip, Khali poked many presenters and DJs in the eye after claiming he was planning to take a few of them to Nigeria because they like playing their songs.

The sarcastic comments turned into a huge debate on why Kenyan artists are not getting airplay back at home.

It took 1200 songs for Kenyans to love me – Khaligraph Jones

Posted on January 17, 2019 by Pauline Syombua

Rapper Khaligraph Jones was recently named among the best rappers in 2018 in Africa by a South African magazine. The rapper dominated the whole 2018 and also was on a high wave through out 2018.

But before this happened, he had to work hard and put everything a side so that he can become what he is today. Speaking in a radio interview with Jeff Koinange and Professor Hamo, the rapper said he recorded over 1200 songs before Kenyans finally accepted him.

He was in studio day in day out making songs until the radio couldn’t ignore him anymore. Khali said that nothing comes overnight and it takes a lot of commitment, persistence and passion to finally get to the level he is at today.

Takes time

“Most people think I just blew up after releasing Yego. I chucked over 1200 songs by the time I was blowing up. I was in the studio everyday recording music so it is not an overnight thing. It is a gradual process,” Khali said.

His statements come at a time when Kenyan artists are complaining over lack of airplay on radio stations and have been pressuring presenters and DJs to change their playlist.

Blogger X-tian Dela forced to swallow humble pill and go into hiding after sarcastic comments on Kenyan artists

Posted on January 14, 2019 by Pauline Syombua

Blogger X-tian Dela wanted to prove a point that Kenyan music is trash but in the end, paid dearly for his remarks.

The blogger took to social media to share a rather low budget video of upcoming artists during the heated Play Kenyan music debate.

The video, called Matokoo, was a sarcastic post meant to show that Kenyan artists are not getting airplay because of their music. Some artists however, didn’t like the post.

Khaligraph Jones took the post personally, called out the presenter for being petty when guys are trying to come up with better ways how the entertainment industry can be built.

“Oneni uyu sasa? @xtiandela this is ignorance of The highest order, instead of coming up with ideas of how we can work together, you are now trying to be petty and sarcastic, out of all the great music Kenya has to offer, you choose this to try drive a stupid point home?, gathee chunga sana na tuwache mazoeano, I believe you are a smart guy, give advice on how to become better artists other than Making a fool out of them, #respecttheogs #mrinternational.” he posted.

Retreat

After Khali’s post, fans descended on Dela trolling him for the post a thing that forced him to put his account on private.

“After Facing the Wrath @xtiandela account imebidi imeingizwa Private very quick gathee ikaingia Mitini, vile mbogi imeenda kumpasha, na iwe funzo kwa wale wengine wanaosema ati Haiwezekani Ama Kenya hamna mziki mzuri #respecttheogs #mrinternational,” posted Khaligraph.

Testimony! Khaligraph Jones buys second Range Rover with album money?(photo)

Posted on July 10, 2018 by Pauline Syombua

Khaligraph Jones has been hitting the headlines hard lately after he released his debut album “Testimony 1990”. The album has performed so well leaving many artists eager to also drop theirs that had been shelved for long.

Well, it seems the millions Jones has been making lately have been already spent after the rapper, who also has several endorsements, shared that he has acquired a brand new Range Rover 2011 which goes for about Ksh 6 million.

Jone’s first Range Rover

This might be Khaligraph’s second Range Rover after he flaunted his first several times on social media something that made him and comedian Eric Omondi, who has a Mercedes Benz E-class, attack each other. Omondi claimed Khaligraph won’t be able to fuel the car.

Khaligraph redeems himself with hot beauty after Cashy left him and got pregnant with another man

Posted on May 21, 2018 by Pauline Syombua

We all thought ni mazisha for OG, Khaligraph Jones, after his lover Cashy ditched him and went for an unknown man.

Jones has been avoiding dealing with the drama and has been just sharing that the two parted ways without saying how exactly.

Forget Cashy

Cashy is almost 8 months pregnant now and even recently had a baby shower that dominated headlines.

Khaligraph Jones, it seems, has now moved on from the drama and even recently shared a photo with a hot lady that we are not yet sure if is the new OG’s catch. But from the look of things, the two looked cozy enough to be called more than just friends.

Here’s the photo:

Is this the young man Cashy ditched fierce rapper Khaligraph Jones for? (Photos)

Posted on May 14, 2018 by Pauline Syombua

Maybe she was just tired of waiting for his debut album which has taken too long. Maybe, Khaligraph cheated. Perhaps their work schedule got them apart. Or maybe the new catch just has game. Or she was just confused.

Either way, one thing is clear: Cashy and Khaligraph Jones are no more and Kenyans don’t really know what happened. At least not yet.

Is he the father?

Khaligraph and Cashy

Cashy is back in the headlines yet again after sharing photos of her growing baby bump just days after Jones announced they are officially done.

Kenyans have been very eager to see the face behind the man who stole Khaligraph’s gem. Although it hasn’t been confirmed yet, a photo has been doing rounds on social media purporting that a certain guy might be the reason the two ended their relationship.

He might also be the father of the baby though it has not yet been confirmed. Here’s the photo that has been doing rounds:

Is he the dad?
