It is alleged that King Kaka received threats from an unnamed government official, but the rapper has not confirmed or denied the allegations.
Bloggers Robert Alai and Abraham Mutai confidently tweeted that the rapper has not received threats from any quarters and might be capitalizing on the buzz do drive more numbers.
I talked to King Kaka in the evening and he claimed that a senior government official threatened him. I don’t believe that.
King Kaka is going to sound more corrupt and evil if he removed the video so as to promote it.
Still I think Wajinga ni Sisi. #WajingaNyinyi
