King Kaka Summoned by DCI Amid 'Wajinga Nyinyi' Controversy ¶
Kenyan rapper Kennedy Ombima, popularly known as King Kaka, has been summoned by the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) amidst the controversy surrounding his song 'Wajinga Nyinyi'.
King Kaka notified his fans and followers of the latest twist to the controversy via Twitter on Tuesday morning, December 17, 2019.
“I have just been summoned by The CID,” tweeted King Kaka.
Activist Boniface Mwangi also revealed that King Kaka had informed him that he was due to appear at the DCI on Tuesday at noon.
Since the release of his controversial new hit 'Wajinga Nyinyi', King Kaka has been trending on social media due to the song's hard-hitting message.
The song was a direct take down of Kenya's tattered social fabric which has been permeated with corruption at all levels.
He also took a swipe at controversial pastors, politicians, and other personalities who are involved in corruption.
Since Saturday, the rapper has repeatedly said that his life is in danger from people he has not yet named.
In addition, Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has also threatened to sue the rapper for defamation.
Kenyans on Twitter shared words of encouragement directed to the rapper, including some of them offering to take him to the DCI as a show of solidarity.
