The only Kenyans participating in the second season of the musical TV program Coke Studio are Khaligraph Jones and Nikita Kering.
Controversial musician Willy Paul expressed resentment over his selection in a social media conversation with Khaligraph Jones.
“What Criteria Does Coke Studio Use To Pick Musicians? Because For The Longest Time I’ve Been Topping Their Surveys Or Is It Another Cartel Based System? We have Myself, Wakadinali, Ob, And Many More. Anyway, Let Me Mind My Business.”
Willy paul said
Kaligraph Jones did not hesitate to respond in the process.
“The cartel you’re referring to is called Khali Cartel, and I am the chairman. Send your CV, and after reviewing it, I might consider you, maybe in 2030, because I’ll still be here until 2029.”
Said the OG
The discussion attracted the attention of fans and followers, and many joined in. Khaligraph Jones’ funny comment was applauded by one user.
The necessity to recognize Khaligraph Jones as an OG (Original Gangster) in the music industry was also highlighted in the comments, though.
Other users meanwhile urged Khaligraph Jones to keep shining and heat up the thread.
The two singers’ conversation with one another appears to have sparked some interest and involvement among their fans, sparking a discussion regarding their individual skills and the Coke Studio audition procedure.
The well-known Mazishi hitmaker highlighted his enthusiasm about working with Nikita during the launch event on Thursday, July 6, highlighting the incredible mix they bring to the table.
“I want to express my gratitude to Coke Studio for giving me the opportunity to be a part of this song with Nikita. I’ve been a fan of her music. I come from Kayole, and she hails from Karen, so it’s an exciting blend, and I can’t wait for people to witness what we’ve created together,”
