Posted on by Pauline Syombua

From a rapper to a relationships councilor. It seems those are the moves Kibera rapper is currently up to.

Recently in an interview with Capital FM, Octopizzo didn’t really confess of cheating but explained why everyone, whether woman or man, cheats in a relationship.

“Come on, people are human, every man cheats. Every woman cheats,” he said in the interview. 

Flirting

The Noma Ni rapper then went on to add that flirting comprises of simple things such as just admiring someone and that’s cheating.

“If you have a main chic you have a main chic, there is no two ways. Si then you just become polygamous? I don’t believe in having someone on the side. Cheating is broad, flirting is cheating to some extent and flirting is normal to some extent because even when you have the love of your life you can still see things you have never seen and you admire, that is flirting.” he said.

Khaligraph to Octopizzo: I’m thinking about working with Jay Z, Cassper and AKA, you continue rapping about me

Khaligraph Jones is not focusing on his freenemy Octopizzo sending subliminal shots. He’s past that now. He claims he has a greater vision that needs focus.

“People are trying to bring back the beef thing. They should realize that in the past two years, I’ve refrained from that. I was dissing with the guy like three years ago. It is 2018, I’m 28 years, I want to do collabos with the likes of Jay Z, Cassper and AKA. So taking me back to Octo limits my progression,” said Jones after getting word that Octopizzo has dissed him in new track.

Done with dis tracks

Asked whether he’s heard of it, Jones said he hasn’t had time to listen to it yet but it doesn’t matter.

“I haven’t had a chance to listen to it. If I get a chance I’ll listen to it. I’m always listening to people’s albums. Why would I respond to disses right now? 

Khaligraph

“You know I’m the OG. If I was to diss a person, I’d have done that. Mimi siekangi mtu. Octo nimemueka on the side. I feel that story pulls me back. Octo is always dissing me in most of his songs but I never take it. If he feels like he needs to rap about me, it’s all good.”

The diss, which is in the track ‘Noma Ni’, Octopizzo attacked the rapper asking him to kill himself if.

“Niliwapeleka kaburini so, wanajua ni mazishi na kwa hiyo matanga yenu jo huskii tutadish. Na kama bado una-hate on Octopizzo kill yourself and die.”

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

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.”

 

Vicmass shares his thoughts on Octopizzo’s new album: I rate it near 4:44 by JAY Z

Octopizzo has just released a new album called “Next Year” –his fourth — which is available via iTunes. Singles such as “Level UP”, “Jazzy”  and “Past” are already taking over the airwaves.

In an interview with Kenyan Vibe, his friend Vicmass Luodollar, who they teamed up in 2016 for the popular track Bank Outuch, shared his thoughts on his just released album saying it’s as good as Jay Z’ latest release.

“It is a masterpiece something you won’t hear from 3/4 of the albums released this year among African rappers starting with M.I and Cassper Nyovest (last year),” he said in the interview. 

Upcoming artists need to be patient

The rapper also spoke on why most upcoming artists fail in the music business, blaming their lack of patience as the key reason.

“What young artist do wrong when starting is they don’t want to taste the process, ” Vicmass told Kenyan Vibe.

“They want to hit studio and become famous instantly. Nobody wants to be told, ‘hold on, you need to record at least 15 songs then choose three out of 15 to release’. Nobody wants to be told stop focusing on radio and TV and start building your fan base from social media platforms.”

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.
