Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Rapper Octopizzo has attacked fellow rapper Khaligraph yet again saying that he’s not the best from his hood Kayole.

Speaking to Word Is, the Kibera rapper insisted that there are other names from Kayole that are doing a better in Kayole but he’s not throwing shade to Jones. Octopizzo was speaking in favour of Jones new cypher.

“That artiste is so lit. I don’t have time to throw shade, I mean I am too busy to think about another man, if I have something to say about an artiste, I tell them to the face. If I don’t like you I don’t, and there is nothing you gonna do,” he said.

Octopizzo has a new jam dubbed Kanye

Octo stopped a particular rapper called Lucci introduced into the scene by online comedian Kartelo in another cypher published on YouTube on Monday. Octopizzo said he’s now planning to work with him.

“My fans know that I rarely post any artiste until I am impressed with what they are doing. I am not a person who always posts people on my page, and I don’t care what people think about that,” he said.

Rapper Octopizzo is back but not with something entirely new.

The Kibera MC has released a new jam dubbed “Stay” but it’s not really new since it was originally done by slain American rapper XXXTentacion.

XXXTentacion dropped “Everybody Dies In Their Nightmares” in 2017.

‘Stay’ is the fourth single off Octo’s forthcoming 5th studio album after ‘Oliel’, ‘Babylon’, and ‘Zikishika’. It is produced by Florida-based multi-platinum music producer Cxdy.

In stay, Octo sings about love, something that he hasn’t done much so far in his career. XXXTentacion rapped about saving people from the hard life in the slums and giving them a hand in life.

Octopizzo to government: Legalize bhang. Even Ugali has side effects

Kibera rapper Octopizzo wants weed to be like cigarettes. Easily accessible, you can smoke it anywhere and most of all, cops won’t be all over you once you do it.

In short, the rapper wants the drug legalized.

Speaking in an interview with Mzazi Willy M Tuva, Pizzo said that everything has side effects even Ugali therefore, weed should be just legalized.

Coming from Kibera, Octopizzo confessed that he sold Bhang while still leaving in the slum to make a living.

“Do you think our leaders are doing the right job?” Asked Tuva.

Why not

“Wana try. Leader wetu pale mtaani naweza sema amejaribu. Amekua akisupport education, arts na pia kuna kitu ali table pale parliament ya ku legalize ngwai (bhang). Na hio niimportant sana,”said Octopizzo.

To which Tuva posed, “Why do you think ngwai should be legalized?”

“Why not,” he went on.

Tuva: “Kwa sababu ina madhara.”

“Madhara gani?” Si pombe ina madhara? Sigara iko na madhara mbaya kuliko bhangi…Medicinal – unaweza kunywa ata kwa chai. Si lazima uvute. Mtu akisema ku legalize marijuana si ati ni kwamba watu wavute tu. Waeza weka kwa chai na haina madhara. We ukinywa chai umewahi sikia ina madhara? Ushawahi sikia kitu inaitwa ganja tea?”

“Ni madhara ambayo yanakuja baadae,” Tuva pressed further.

“At saa hii ugali ikiwekwa kwa roller uivute itakua na madhara because ni smoke. Ata ukichoma takataka…” he added.

Octopizzo’s sister is giving two contradicting statements, she cannot be trusted – Abom’s brother

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Kibera rapper Octopizzo is currently fighting an ugly press storm following the mysterious death of a Strathmore student last week.

The rapper has insisted he’s not behind the murder of the 19-year-old ICT student, Kenneth Abom, who died on Saturday after jumping from fourth floor flowing an altercation with the rapper.

Kenneth’s big brother Antony has come out to claim that Octopizzo’s sister, who was in the house when it all happened, shouldn’t be trusted because her statements have been differing.

“By the time he came back into the house, he was disoriented and even talking to himself. Octopizzo was again seen by neighbours carrying a panga and threatened to use it on Kenneth.” he said in an interview with The Star. 

Adding:

“Octopizzo’s sister is giving two contradicting stories. She is saying she let Kenneth in and in another statement, she says he knocked the door and pushed her in.”

Anthony said that they have been trying to get a statement for Octopizzo since then but he’s proving to be arrogant.

“We can only get the right information from Kenneth, but unfortunately, he is dead. And from Octopizzo, but he is turning out to be arrogant and rude. On Saturday I went to the hospital and requested to get the explanation from Octopizzo but he did not want to do it freely. We have even reached out to his management but he is arrogant, saying that Ken stormed into his house.” Antony said.

Image a Kenya where Octoppizzo, Khaligraph, Ukoo Flani, King Kaka Femi One and other secular artists pull a move gospel singer Size 8 pulled several years ago…

That’s the exact vision gospel rapper Kamlesh Kagaba has in his mind, and, has now released a new song called “Kalamu Nzito” to make sure it comes true.

The popular rapper has released the new song asking fellow rappers and entertainers to ditch secular music and join the gospel world.

Size 8 started the great movement after she switched from secular to gospel in 2014. Since then, a bunch of artists have proceeded to join her with Amani being the most recent one.

Juliani 2.0

Kalamu Nzito is a deep rap song which can sure leave you reminiscing about Juliani in his heydays.

Kamlesh Kagaba has earned great respect among key music and industry players due to rich content that speak to those in and those out of the Christian faith to live a life that glorifies God and edifies humanity.

Octopizzo: Don’t compare me to Nigerians. I’m better than them

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

With an album out, Kibera rapper Octopizzo is making the necessary noise to get people looking.

The rapper has released his latest album “Next Year” which is only available on iTunes. During an interview with Kiss’ Adele Onyango and Shaffie Weru, the rapper said that Kenyans always talk about supporting their own but then only go for Nigerians.

He told Kenyans never to compare him to Nigerians because he’s better.

“If you are really a supporter of good music, and people have been complaining that there is no good music out there saying that Nigerians music is quality, then I do not see the reason why you are complaining.

“I do not know any Nigerian artiste who is doing doper music than me or doper videos than me. If the album is too expensive, then changisha and have my whole album,” he said on Radio.

Invested huge amounts

Octopizzo also addressed why his album is so expensive saying that he’s invested a huge amount of money to come up with something of quality. He has worked with international producers to give it the international feel.

“Well, I am an expensive dude, this is not a cheap thing, I have invested so much in it. I payed for it with own money. Let them not compare me with people who have their own record labels who just distribute nothing more. I see people spending a thousand bob here, so I do not think that it is a big deal for them to spend that on seventeen tracks.”

It’s been almost a decade since the dramatic fallout between hip hop gurus Octopizzo and Khaligraph Jones. Back and forth the two have attacked each other in their music, interviews and social media posts.

But now, Khaligraph feels that he’s outgrown the drama and plans to put it in the past officially as he nears his 28th birthday.

“I’m always trying to refrain from such, reason being I’m trying to focus on more constructive things so uhmm Octo is as young talented guy. on some real though he is young talented doing this thing, and I have seen this guy from way back where he had nothing,” Said Jones in a Kiss100 interview.

“Just seeing him right now I feel happy for him, coz we both have the same kind of background. I’m from Kayole and he is from Kibera, and so I let the young brother do his thing, I have nothing bad to say about him. Uhmm we had issues back then, but I’m about to be 28, so I ain’t got time for that right now.”

Not my house

Jones also clarified that he hasn’t built a 3 million house like several news sources reported earlier.

“No….I don’t even know, you know it’s funny how ..I just post innocently first of all let me just clarify that the house, is not even my house the house that you saw me in, I was actually doing a show in Kitale, so that’s where I was staying so that ain’t my house for clarification purposes,” he said. 

“I don’t regret living a life of crime!” Octopizzo opens up about his life as a thief!

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Before the fame and money, Octopizzo struggled to make ends meet. His mum and dad passed on when he was still an underage and for this reason he had to hustle for himself.

Without anyone to guide him, Octopizzo became a thief and his main targets were shops and people. He however Satan that he did not kill anyone and unlike many who are ashamed of admitting their past lives; the Kibera rapper has no regrets.

I never regret being part of that, I never killed anybody.

He owes his career to his hard life

Speaking to Al-Jazeera, Octopizzo says he is grateful to have lived the hard life and he owes his career to it. If not for the slum life, Octopizzo would never be the person he is today.

“I feel like if I wasn’t born here I would probably not be a rapper, I would be something else.

His life is now a living testimony to many who feel that life is too harsh on them. He concluded saying;

I want to be the face of possibility because when you grow here you are told that you will never be anything. You are told this by your teacher in school, you are probably told this by your dad at home and most of the time it starts hitting you and you realize, ‘oh I will never be anything anyway.
