On April 23, 2020, rapper Khaligraph Jones released a new track, Hao, where he defends several celebrities against online trolls.
He advises that celebrities should not be too sensitive to online criticism, saying, "Kukuwa celebrity kuwa ready for drama Omba God akubless na self-esteem ya pastor Ng'ang'a Na confidence ya Orie Rogo Manduli Na will-power ya John Pombe Magufuli And though wengi watasema ni kiburi But that's the only way utawezana na hawa mabully."
In the song featuring Masauti, Khaligraph highlights how celebrities sometimes end up apologizing for mistakes they haven't made due to public opinion and pressure.
He mentions several celebrities who have been affected by online trolls, including Bahati, Stivo Simple Boy, Esther Arunga, Jimmy Gait, Papa Dennis, Mulamwah, Willy Paul, and Willis Raburu.
He defends them, saying, for example, "Mulamwah ameshachoka amedai zii Ju ya matusi toka Twitter mpaka IG Mi ni gangsta mkinitroll haiwasaidii (Kwenda!) Buda OG huwa zogo shinda 5G (Staki!)"
