On May 6, 2020, rapper Henry Ohanga, popularly known as Octopizzo, made a bold statement on his Twitter account, vowing to sing about marijuana until it is legalized in Kenya.
He announced that every song he releases from now on will have a reference to marijuana, a move he believes will help raise awareness and push for legalization.
Octopizzo made this declaration while promoting his latest song, 'Che Che,' which features rapper Barack Jaccuzi.
"From now henceforth every song will have a weed aka marijuana line till the day it’s gonna be legalized. Don’t @ me if you don’t understand why," he wrote on Twitter.
