On June 6, 2020, Baby Drago's life took an unexpected turn when he spotted President Uhuru Kenyatta wearing a kitenge shirt that belonged to him.
According to Baby Drago's aunt, he screamed and demanded to talk to his daddy, who was confused and explained that the shirt was similar but not his own.
However, Baby Drago was not convinced and continued to complain, saying, 'Papa, ambia huyo Uhuru arudishe kitenge yangu kabla nimchape vibaya sana!' (Papa, make Uhuru return my shirt before I get very angry!).
The video of Baby Drago's tantrum was recorded by his aunt and sent to his mother in Nairobi, who shared it with a group of mothers.
Before long, the video went viral, and Baby Drago became a sensation on social media.
His aunt, Emma, recorded him singing a song called 'Okwonkwo' by Femi One and Mejja, which further increased his popularity.
However, it was when his uncle, Ryan, started training him to sing and dance that Baby Drago became a household name.
Uncle Ryan taught him a song called 'Daktari' by Ethic and even put him in a funky outfit and dark glasses to make him look like a star.
On the next Saturday, Uncle Ryan filmed Baby Drago singing and dancing to the song, and by Wednesday, it had gone viral.
People were laughing and loving Baby Drago, and his popularity continued to grow.
