Khaligraph shares the most he has ever splashed while on stage and it’s enough to pay your rent for several months my friend

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Rapper Khaligraph Jones has grown from a mere Kayole rapper into a hip hop force not only in Kenya but in Africa.

The rapper in turn has been able to make a lot of money through his talent and he is one of the best paid artists in the Kenyan industry now.

Jones has also upped his performance game and usually makes sure his fans enjoy his performances and feel their money’s worth whenever they attend his shows.

Money

One of the ways the rapper has been able to achieve this is through dishing out cash in his shows. According to Khaligraph, he once gave out 50K while on stage. It’s the most he has ever given out while performing.

“We are the OGs and we live up to the name. By that I mean we have to cater for the people so we pour out money you know, remember the show I came in a casket, we had like KSh 50,000.” he told Betty Kyalo.

Did rapper Cashy cheat on Khaligraph and got pregnant? Khaligraph speaks why they had to part ways

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

While Kenyans rooted for both Khaligraph Jones and his girlfriend Cashy, it seems life had it’s own turns and dips.

Khaligraph has finally opened up on his relationship with fellow rapper Cashy saying that the two are no longer together. Speaking in an interview, the “Mazishi” rapper seemed bitter when talking about her saying that they are done and people should stop asking their relationship.

And there’s more. Word has it that Cashy is pregnant but it’s not clear by who. Khaligraph chose not to speak about it in the interview, bluntly ignoring the question.

Khaligraph and Cashy

“Me and Cashy are separated, we are not together. We haven’t been together for the past couple of months. We are not together right now and hivyo ndivyo vitu ziko. I need to move on with my life, watu waache kuniuliza ako wapi,” he said.

No more women for me

For the past few weeks Jones has been holding back on what to say about their struggling relationship, telling fans while at an interview in Tanzania that they were trying to patch things up. It seems they couldn’t reconcile and now Khaligraph is regretting.

“Biggest mistake one can ever do is bringing your girl into the limelight,” he said. 

“Not just now, I don’t want to involve myself with women. Whether am single or not should not worry you, I just want to lay on the low key. As far as the baby goes, that one I am not going to talk about that.” 

DJ Shiti finally buys Range Rover after hustling for days to get the money

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

If you have bumping into comedian DJ Shitty in a matatu while going home then those days might actually be over.

The comedian took to social media to share that he actually bought a Range Rover from Khaligraph Jones. Just recently, Jones acquired the car and has been flossing with the car on IG.

“Congratulations to DJ Shiti as he has managed to raise enough money to buy the Range Rover and it now belongs to him. Good luck and in case you run out of fuel get hold of Eric Omondi for assistance,” Khaligraph congratulated DJ Shiti.

“Congratulations @djshiti_trhk Finally alifika Bei sasa Range ni Yake, Good luck Bro, Mafuta ikiisha kwa barabara dont hesitate to call @ericomondiatakusaidia.” 

Saving for the car

Shitty with Khaligraph Jones

Shitty has been saving for the car for a long time. It’s not yet clear whether the comedian has bought the fuel guzzle that cost not less than 5 million shillings. Earlier, he had asked fans to help him buy the vehicle.

“My fans, please make some contributions so I may even buy the tyre of this Range Rover. Khaligraph is going to sell it to me at a throwaway price. I have given him a downpayment of KES 6000. I even bought him lunch and transferred airtime to his mobile number. I would also like to collaborate with him so your ideas are welcome on the collabo.”
