On His Birthday, Abbas Explains Why He Keeps His Age Top Secret

Today, Abbas celebrates his [RETRACTED] birthday. There are really no publicly accessible records where the rapper’s age can be found but maybe the amount of time he has been in the industry could be an indication.

When asked by Willy M. Tuva in his birthday interview conducted via phone, the rapper’s answer was less than satisfactory, “Miaka tisini na tisa hivi (about 99).” The Mambo Mseto presenter went ahead and asked him how long he has been in the industry and his answer was, “Officially, kama miaka 15 hivi (About 15 years).”

And when Tuva further prodded the legendary MC him about his age and why he was keeping it a secret, he said, “Wewe naweza kukutumia kwa text kwa sababu wewe ni msela wangu. Siwezi taka watu wengine wajue, hatujui ni akina nani wako kwenye mtambo wanasikiza saa hii. Ma-haters hivi, siunajua (I can tell you because we’re homies. I wouldn’t want other people to know, I don’t know who else is listening. You know, the haters.”
