Kenya’s emerging rap sensation, Wanja Wa Kihii, has set social media ablaze with the release of a track that takes bold shots at prominent figures within the entertainment industry.
In a viral music video, Wanja confidently touts her own rapping prowess, self-proclaiming herself as the unrivaled Kenyan rap queen.
Notably, the young rapper fearlessly targets seasoned artist Khaligraph Jones, challenging his artistic capabilities and humorously suggesting he might consider a career as a bouncer instead.
“Wanja boldly addresses Khaligraph Jones, playfully pointing out his lacking in lyrical finesse and humorously suggesting a potential second career as a bouncer. She amusingly highlights the difference in their speeds and jests that her song might require a slow-motion playback for him to grasp.”
Further asserting her artistic dominance, Wanja sends a message to fellow artist Mejja, subtly asserting her superiority in terms of talent.
Turning her focus to Bahati, Wanja criticizes his pivot away from music to promote maize flour, humorously implying that his strength lies elsewhere.
Wanja doesn’t spare Tanzanian sensation Diamond Platnumz, firmly asserting her lack of interest in his advances and jesting about his alleged direct messages flooding her inbox. She playfully suggests he joins his fellow “Simba” counterparts in the wild.
Expressing an intriguing collaboration possibility, Wanja extends an invitation to socialite Zari for a potential joint project. However, she playfully questions whether Zari can meet her artistic standards and humorously predicts a timeline for Zari to reach her level.
This viral music video has ignited a diverse range of reactions among netizens, with some voicing concern over perceived disrespect toward industry heavyweights, while others laud Wanja’s innate talent and humor.
“The nation of Kenya is transformed into a metaphorical psychiatric ward, complete with amusing characters such as this. The world’s equilibrium never ceases to amuse 😂😂.”
“Regrettably nonsensical, let’s withhold this gem for the upcoming challenge between Kenya and Tanzania, lest it be used against us.”
“Witness true artistic brilliance in action. The song’s comedic flair is a sheer delight 😂😂😂.”
“Incredible humor! She possesses the potential to represent Kenya internationally, no doubt.”
“Unearth your concealed talents and keep them well-guarded ☺️🙏🏻.”
“Kenya may grapple with various issues, but appreciation for talent like this is undeniably heartwarming. The music scene’s evolution is a marvel – and she’s stunning too 😍.”
