High-flying African rapper Khaligraph Jones recently revealed his upcoming house, a project that he’s been working on for the past couple of years. Despite being one of the most celebrated and successful rappers on the continent, his house has faced some criticism online due to its unconventional appearance.
Khaligraph has garnered praise from fans and peers for his dedication and hard work in constructing his Karen maisonette. Nevertheless, some online observers couldn’t help but comment on the extraordinary size and design of the house. They pointed out its towering walls, bay windows, extensive rooftop area, and overall scale, drawing comparisons to various government structures.
For instance, in response to a social media thread discussing Khaligraph Jones’ house, one user humorously likened it to a Level 4 hospital in Kisii County. Another playful comment suggested that the house resembled an Amazon warehouse, while another compared it to a silo. Popular social media influencer @5people even made a cheeky remark, joking that Khaligraph decided to build a house that looked like Zetech College because he never attended college himself.
One witty user, @keam254, added to the banter by suggesting, “Khaligraph Jones, instead of building a house, opted to construct a Level 4 hospital to nurse his sick lines.”
Despite the playful criticisms, many have commended the rapper for his remarkable achievement, congratulating him on accomplishing so much in a relatively short span. Some individuals urged others to celebrate his success, emphasizing that he is setting an example for young Kenyans on the importance of investing wisely.
In February of the previous year, Khaligraph Jones commenced the construction of his grand mansion. His wife, Georgina Muteti, shared photos of the foundation being laid on February 7, 2022. In an interview in November 2022, Khaligraph explained that he built such a significant home to showcase his success and inspire fellow musicians.
He highlighted the importance of showing one’s success, as it hadn’t been done by those who came before him. Khaligraph’s motivation to build this home was to encourage other musicians to invest wisely, particularly because the music industry can be volatile. By having a stable place to call home without the burden of rent, he aims to provide security for his family and set a positive example for his peers.
