King Kaka’s latest rise to fame with his new song that has led to many pondering on the current state of the nation and who really should take the blame has come not only with praise but heavy criticism as well.
‘Wajinga nyinyi’ translates to ‘You fools’ in Kiswahili. He blames Kenyans for their misfortune saying they play a crucial role in their own downfall by electing the wrong leaders.
The Orange Democratic Movement Director of Communication Philip Etale has since advised rapper Rabbit that despite the fact that a section of the public voted without their brains, the country should not go down instead perhaps he should sit down and watch things unfold at this time.
“My friend RabbitTheKing, you have spoken in your latest release #WajingaNyinyi. However, a country cannot burn or go b’coz of a section of people who vote not with their brain. There comes a time when you sit down, relax and watch things as they unfold. Good day bro,” said Etale.
Some netizens, however, have dug out old Kaka’s tweets claiming he cannot criticize voters for their wrong choice yet he once advertised politicians on his page as well.

Etale further stated that Kenyan artists were as well praisers of the current government leaders as they dined and wined with them.
In 2017, most Kenyan artists were pro-government. They whined and dined with those they now call oppressors. They wallowed and swam in money. They enjoyed every bit of the tune they sang as their funders danced joyfully. Sasa ni nani WAJINGA.

Well, it’s not proven that they were political campaign photos or if are not photoshopped pictures but they have elicited a lot of mixed reactions.
Raila Junior is among those who have questioned the authenticity of the tweet asking the rapper if it was a real tweet.

According to Bravin Yuri, a twitter keyboard warrior, the photos were a campaign to push Rabbit’s music called Mr. 254.
People have been trolling #KingKaka because of posting Uhuru Kenyatta as Mr.254 but they are forgetting he also posted Raila. This was a campaign to push his Music called Mr.254. But like the #wajinganyinyi that You are, You can’t see beyond thy noses. Hii #RevolutionNow sioni.🤔 pic.twitter.com/EtlrrrHsr0
