Published on June 25, 2020, Sauti Sol, a renowned Kenyan boy band, has been busy promoting their Midnight Train album. The album features some of the coolest songs, including Suzanna, which has become Kenya's unofficial national anthem.

The song Suzanna has gained massive popularity since its premiere on February 7 this year, with over 10 million views. In the song, Sauti Sol talks about people who live large on social media but have underlying issues.

Lead singer Willis Chimano admitted to having done a little underarm botox to prevent excessive sweating. He stated, 'I have no problem and personally I’ve done it at some point. I sweat a lot an I had botox in my armpits to prevent sweating and I did it once. I’m scared of doing it over and over…at the end of it all, it is not something you should use to alter your looks because of pressure from other people.'

Chimano also mentioned that he would consider getting tattoos. Although the rest of the band members didn't discuss cosmetic surgery, they stated that they have no problem with those who choose to undergo such procedures.
