October 7, 2019, marked a significant day for Khaligraph Jones, a renowned Kenyan artiste, as he shed light on the contentious issue of MCSK payments.
According to Khaligraph, artistes have the right to know how their earnings are calculated, allowing them to improve their take-home pay in the future.
'As far as getting paid goes, there have been talks. However, I haven’t attended any meetings. It has even reached the President and they want to straighten this thing. Artistes should not fear to ask questions about their money,' Khaligraph advised.
As a well-established artiste, Khaligraph emphasized the importance of building a platform for future generations to thrive. He expressed his desire to see a solution to the MCSK payment issue, which has affected many young artists.
'When I see the reason for working with them, then I will. These kids are doing well on their own. Right now, everyone is jumping to what they are doing,' Khaligraph said, highlighting the need for transparency and fairness in the music industry.
