“Kikuyus Are Enemies Of Luos Stop Making Music With This Cockroaches’ Enraged Fan Tells Rabbit”

It may sound alarmist to say that online tribal vitriol is getting out of hand but you only need to see the conversations going on in many commentaries to see the real picture.

At the end of the day it is usually swept off and dismissed of as just a few lost elements. But the question is just how many hate spewing tribalists are enough for action to be taken. Discussions easily spill into tribal hate and this same environment has continued to be cultured by lack of action it is now popping up openly and in bizarre ways.

Take for example the fan who decided to send a message to Hip-hop star King Kaka and went on to tag the artist and several others. On one hand you have politicians talking about circumcision on the other one you have misguided elements calling each other’s cockroaches and seeking to control the actions of a celebrity who draws fans across the country.

Usually many would have ignored the fellow and allowed an ambiguous message to be sent. It is why King Kaka should be lauded for his response and ensuring such fellows do not go on without being reminded, many of us value the unity that’s there despite the obvious challenges. Here is King Kaka’s response.

My name is Kennedy Tarriq Ombima, I am Kenyan. nakuwanga na Tabia Flani, when I meet someone I never ask what your tribe is unless sikumoja uropokwe but I will never ask. I remember very well in 2007 just before the elections we were from a gig in Kisumu with Chiwawa thanks to Ade, boarded a new Akamba bus and on the way the bus was stopped several times and the people were bitter and that’s when I saw tribalism kwa macho. Tribalism Ended up killing over 1000 people hivyo tu. We Co-Exist in this small growing country of ours, I mean Kuna corruption which we are still fighting, economy iko messed up, employment Ni shida na kadhalika. I mean like many other countries pia wako na shida zao. now some people may not agree with me but hiyo Ni shida yenu. We have over 40 tribes for a reason, in the over 40 we all have our differences, our differences makes us unique. 
When we fuel such Stupid Nonsense culture what do we gain at the end of it all? What? More deaths, deaths, killings, wounds that never heal, hatred, and again more deaths. Kwani Ni ngumu aje kukubali kwamba our neighbors are our families. woke up to that message and I was disgusted to the stomach. Ujinga tupu. 
I am Kenyan, My Kids are Kenyan, My family is Kenyan, my fans are Kenyan. 
Let this STUPID movement called Tribalism end. NOW!!!! And I will continue making music with everyone, for everyone.
