December 20, 2019, marked a significant shift in the ongoing saga between Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru and rapper King Kaka. Waiguru announced that she had changed her mind on plans to sue King Kaka over his controversial song Wajinga Nyinyi.
Waiguru's decision came after she realized that King Kaka's actions were those of a confused attention-seeking young man. She made this statement on her Twitter handle, citing King Kaka's recent antics, including reports of a fake assassination attempt and a summons from the Director of Criminal Investigations.
Waiguru further accused King Kaka of faking his own assassination and falsely reporting that he had been summoned to appear before the Director of Criminal Investigations. She also claimed that the Wajinga Nyinyi song had been sponsored by some politicians to settle political scores.
Waiguru's decision not to proceed with the lawsuit was met with relief from King Kaka's supporters, including several top lawyers who had promised to defend him in court. The DCI had earlier denied summoning King Kaka and warned him against seeking cheap publicity.
King Kaka's song Wajinga Nyinyi has gained significant attention, with over 2 million views since its release. The song has sparked a heated debate, with many Kenyans weighing in on the issue.
