What you need to know:

  • Rapper excited with the initiative, which has been launched barely a week after he highlighted the challenges faced by Kenyan musicians on social media.
  • Khaligraph also reacted to having his song Ndovu ni Kuu, featuring Krispar and Boutross Munene, deleted from YouTube over copyright claims.

Rapper Khaligraph Jones, has urged Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) boss Dr Ezekiel Mutua to organise a sit-down with artistes and strategise on how to support them other than shaming them in public.

The Ni Kubaya hitmaker made the remarks in an interview with Nation.Africa at the launch of the OdiNare rap challenge, an initiative spearheaded by Odimtaani in partnership with Odibets to the tune of Sh5 million.
