Published on December 15, 2019, Kenyan rapper King Kaka (real name Kennedy Ombima) has sparked a major online storm with his latest poetic release, Wajinga Nyinyi.
The song is a bare-knuckled take down of Kenya's tattered social fabric, which has been permeated with corruption at all levels.
After releasing the viral clip, King Kaka initially appeared to hint that he was pulling it down, but the video remains up on YouTube with over 532,000 views and counting.
On Sunday morning, King Kaka tweeted about needing protection and prayers, stating, 'Woke Up To This. All I can Say is I need protection prayers. Please. '

Most Kenyans agree with the rapper's message, which includes the state of the economy, healthcare, and poor living conditions of many Kenyans.
King Kaka also took a swipe at controversial pastors, politicians, and other personalities involved in corruption.
