Kenyan radio presenter and Diamond Platnumz’ bae Tanasha Donna has finally released her debut music video after weeks of teasing.
Tanasha released her song dubbed ‘Radio’ on Monday (29.04.19) morning. The song which has featured Kenyan-American rapper Baraka Jacuzzi was produced by Brian Oluoch Omondi of the Abhsoundke and its video directed by Ivan Odie.
In an Instagram post, Tanasha thanked all the people who have supported her so far and urged her supporters to watch the video on YouTube.
In the dancehall themed song, it is clear that Tanasha is a talented singer and Barack Jacuzzi kills it on the flow. The song has since garnered over 40,000 views so far. Tanasha’s Bongo boyfriend who also dropped a new single ‘The One’ has taken to social media to support Donna’s latest musical undertaking.
However, this is not the first time that Tanasha is pursuing music and her being with Diamond might be a sign that she has only just begun.

It seems more black men than ever before are rocking well-groomed and adjusted facial hair these days. That’s definitely a positive!
Gone now are the outdated social norms back when black men avoided or outright rejected the notion of facial hair.
These days, there are more black men beards than ever before, and that’s to be celebrated. No black man should feel limited or blocked from the opportunity to let his beard grow out.
In black culture today – from musicians, to actors, to other famous celebs – beards are definitely with it, which no sign of slowing down.
With so many famous, bearded black men in the public eye – it’s officially “cool” to have one. For those among us who are blessed with the ability to rock that facial hair, we’re in luck…
So if you never entertained the thought of trying out black men beards styles, now’s your chance.
But there’s a problem….lack of resources. Again… that old problem. It’s all very different than beard care men of other backgrounds have to go through.
There’s a lack of good information on the internet today when it comes to black men beards – everything from growth, to maintenance, to styling.
Rest assured…we got you!
If all the typical wisdom of beard care is flipped on its head when it comes to black men, why not have a black men beards-specific resource on the web? At least, that’s our reasoning for rolling this section of the site out
And it’s long overdue – we’ve constantly had fellas reaching out and asking us to put together the ultimate guide on black men beards
So, whether you’re a seasoned vet or a first-time beard grower, let us help you out with inspiration, grooming tips, and product recommendations so you can grow a beard that gets compliments and nods of respect from fellas everywhere.
Take a look below and make sure to reach out to us if you have any further questions. Now…let’s get started.
1. Beard Styles
Need some black men beards inspiration? Here are a few different beard styles that you can model your beard after.
Full & Long
They call these “full & long” black men beards. Of course… name explains itself!
These are definitely among the most eye-catching styles that black men can grow. Anyone who grows out their beard to this length needs to have their grooming game on point.
Bear in mind that rocking a full & long beard creates a very distinctive look, one that stands out – for better or worse. A man with a full beard needs to be accustomed to the second glances. Can’t be shy!
Stubble / 5 o’ Clock Shadow
Also known as the five-o clock shadow, this is the lowest effort and maintenance of all black men beards.
All you need is an electric shaver, really, and you’re in business. Once you’ve let the stubble grow out for a couple of days, it’s time to trim and line up the edges.
Line up the beard around your cheeks, nose and neck, and you’re good. Stubble also helps to hide patchy areas if your beard isn’t growing in certain areas.
Short
A step beyond stubble – the short beard is a simple choice.
Once you spend a few weeks growing it out, you’ll be able to carefully groom it based on how your beard hair grows.
A short beard is a sign of masculinity, yet more refined / restrained than a full, long beard.
As with all black men beards, make sure you buy some beard oil to keep it soft and shiny (we get into that later).
Goatee
The goatee is about as universal as it gets. While men of all backgrounds have goatees, black men seem to rock it the best…wouldn’t you agree?
Goatees of all styles have always been accepted in our community.
They’re definitely among the more popular type of black men beards; the goatee is a perfect fit for those with lean, angular cheekbones and jawlines.
Chin Strap
Another great option for men with leaner faces and defined jawlines – the chin strap.
Especially hot back in the 2000s, the chin strap is a beard style that’s basically “extended sideburns”.
With this style of beard, your hair traces the jaw line all the way to under your mouth.
Chinstraps are fairly common among black men beards; you can groom them thick or narrow. Make sure to rock with a mustache.
Van Dyke
The Van Dyke is a beard style universal among men of all backgrounds, although black men seem to rock it better than others.
If your face tends to be a bit more round / less lean and angular, consider giving the Van Dyke a shot.
This is one of the higher maintenance black men beards because the need to keep the circle defined, and neck / jaw / cheeks shaved.
The Van Dyke style emphasizes the goatee and mustache above all else – so you’ll want to keep the rest of your beard trimmed and in check.
2. BEARD GROWTH
Since we’ve received a variety of questions on how to best grow black men beards, we’re including the most important steps below.
The first step, of course, is growing your beard out. Before you go picking styles that suit your face, you’ll need to know what you’re working with.
When it comes to growing the beard, the big thing is to make sure you have the essential routine down. Nurturing your beard, like watering plants, leads to better results.
Here’s the routine you need…
GOOD SKIN CAREIt all comes back to the skin that your beard sits on top of – it’s really that simple. Black men’s’ skin is different than men’s skin of other races.As your beard starts to grow out, and your face grows more covered, the skin underneath is often neglected.Don’t let that happen..it needs as much care and attention as you can give.The secret to smoothly growing your beard out is to make sure the beard foundation is healthy. Keep your skin underneath clean and moisturized.If you start to get dandruff, flaking, or other signs of dry skin, you need to step it up. The same goes for other typical issues such as ingrown hairs or patchy areas.
SUPPLEMENTSWhat do we mean?Vitamins…nutrients..minerals. Hair comes from your body, and like all other things that come from your body, they need the above to exist.You need to make sure your nutrition game is on point if you plan on growing that beard out.Make sure you’re properly hydrated, taking a multivitamin if necessary, and eating a balanced diet. Protein is a must too.There’s also biotin, the essential supplement for nail and hair growth, highly recommended. Add all the above to your supplement stack.
PATIENCEOf course, time plays a factor. You’ll need patience if you want to grow the perfect beard.While you can grow some beard styles a lot faster than others, you need patience to experiment with different looks and end up with the style that suits you best.There are so many different black men beards styles to choose from, it’s hard to decide on what direction you should go in first!So, let your hair grow out for a good 4+ weeks before you settle on anything. If there are any patchy or light beard areas, make a note of that.It may play a part in what style you choose for the long haul.
AND REGULAR MAINTENANCEPretty straightforward: Keep that beard groomed, conditioned and cleaned. Wash daily!We’ll go into more detail on this below…
3. Beard & Grooming Products
It all starts here – keeping your skin healthy and fresh by removing the dead skin calls underneath your beard.
This is important – keeping the skin under your beard exfoliated means a lot less problems in future.
The longer your beard is, the more time you should spend on this.
You’re looking for a product that both exfoliates and ensures that your skin isn’t left dried out.
Now, here are the products you need in your grooming cabinet:
BEARD SOAP & WASHBeard wash, also commonly called beard shampoo, is what you need to lather and wash your beard clean.Look for products that can deliver a balanced wash – ones that contain the necessary vitamins, minerals and ingredients.Once it’s lathered in to your beard, make sure to rinse at least a couple times.
BEARD OIL & BALMYou need to moisturize your beard, and you have two main options – balm and oil.Oil creates a bit more of a glossy effect and has a better fragrance to boot.Pick a fragrance that you like – the ingredients are especially good for guys that have sensitive skin. Balms are great as well — they’re packed full of natural ingredients and keep your beard relaxed and un-itchy.Either one is fine.
BRUSHES & COMBSFor brushes, you want boar bristle. Why?By removing dead skin, hair and debris from your face, you’re ahead of the game. And nothing does that better than a boar bristle brush.The density and length of the boar bristle is perfect for reaching hairs at every level of the beard.They let you evenly coat natural oils on your skin and beard hairs, and they help groom your hairs to flow in one direction.Then there’s combs. You want to use a handmade comb instead of a low-quality comb.The reason :you want combs with smooth ends instead of microscopic jagged edges.
TRIMMERSNext, you got trimming.Some fellas prefer to go to the barbershop and that’s cool…but others want to save a few bucks and learn how to trim their beards personally in the morning.That’s cool too.If you prefer to do it yourself instead of hit up a barber, below is a trimmer we recommend.There’s the Bevel trimmer as well, if you’re willing to invest in a little higher quality.We here are WDB definitely rock with Bevel + other black owned businesses and brands. Head over and check those fellas out.
Once you have your products, it’s time to move on to beard care.
4. Beard Care
Next up are a few steps when it comes to better beard care. Make it count! Your routine doesn’t need to be time consuming, but it needs to be consistent.
WASH YOUR BEARDBlack men beards need to be washed – and washed frequently. If you aren’t already doing so, make sure that you’re washing your beard at least every other day!This helps clear out any products, dirt, dust and sweat that may be lingering in your beard. If left untreated, such products will lead to acne and clogging of skin pores. Make sure you’re using a good beard wash as well . Here’s what we recommend:We recommend using lukewarm water at least. Use your fingers to massage the lather deeper into your beard, and finally rinse it out.
MOISTURIZING (OIL & BALM)Moisturizing your beard is critical – and this is the step most men seem to skip for some reason. Black men beards need to be moisturized and hydrated.Moisturizers also help control more wild and untamed hairs. The two best options for moisturizing are beard balm and beard oil.Either option works – beard balms stay in your beard longer, while beard oils are lighter to apply.
COMBING YOUR BEARDHaving the right comb is a huge deal – a good beard comb is worth its weight in gold.Once you’ve washed your beard out, try combing from the top on down to the bottom, and from the edges all the way to the center.Make sure you comb “with the grain” (with the flow of hair) instead of going against the grain.
TRIMMING YOUR BEARDCircling back around to trimmers…Having a quality beard trimmer is important. Gotta line yourself up…. you know how the deal go. It’s all about knowing your face shape and determining the beard shape to match.Pick up your beard trimmer and take some to time to line up your edges, shave with the guard (if necessary) and remove unwanted / wild hairs where needed.
USING THE RIGHT PRODUCTSBlack men beards require the right products for maintenance, as well.Since we need extra amounts of moisture to keep our beards from becoming dry and unhealthy, we need the appropriate beard products – ones different than those commonly used among men of different backgrounds.The big issue – most common store soaps, oils, balms etc. will do the opposite of what you intend and strip your beard of the oils they need.Avoid using those types of shampoos in favor of the ones listed on this page instead. We only share natural soaps, balms, and oils that are intended for skin like yours.
Thigh-highs, warm coats, thick stockings, scarves and gloves have served us well in winter, but summer is nearly here and we’re so ready to embrace the new season and, most importantly, we are ready for new fashion trends. The coolest thing about summer is that you get to make the rules. You can be playful with your look and experiment with new styles. 2017 has been a good year for African designers to showcase the best of Africa, and the summer trends will, no doubtedly, crossover internationally. Some of Africa’s top designers took part in South Africa’s Fashion Week. The designers who showcased brought in fresh, vibrant colours that are synonymous with African summer. They spoke to Africa.com about the reasons they took part in the event, what to look out for this summer, and, most importantly, how their collections will represent Africa abroad. have picked some of the latest and most wearable fashion trends for women to welcome the new season.
1Lace Floral Print
Usually, brides come to mind when you think of lace. Or, maybe an evening wear. Well, for summer, designers hope to change your mind about this timeless trend, and they are clear that lace is here to stay. Lace is light and easy to wear, so many of the seasons outfits will incorporate it. You just have to keep the balance and carefully combine it with your everyday outfits. The key with lace is to pick the right colour, fabric, and style says fashion designer, Carla Pinto. Pinto showcased her latest collection at the SA Fashion Week. Pinto’s House – African Style Story is all about prints, floral and lace. For the show, she recreated a floral lace print that contrasts beautifully with a geometrical crochet print. Pinto says her main source of inspiration was the antique lace and crochet patterns. She says she has a way around to refresh and revitalise lace.
The Portuguese designer says this visual illusion will definitely give women the unique possibility to wear clothes with a sophistication and timeless, yet sporty look. The fresh approach is to make it anything but formal. Pinto says if you want to grab attention, coloured lace is perfect for you. She says to choose anything from bright red, yellow, blue or pink colours instead of playing it safe with white and black.
2Kimono Dress
A Kimono dress is definitely the prettiest thing to wear this summer. The historic and traditional kimono comes from Japan and has a long list of different traditions and styles. But, one needs to be careful with this trend, as it can be easily mistaken for a loungewear robe. South African fashion designer, Vanya Mangaliso, says that when choosing this look, it’s important to choose the one that you’re most comfortable with and a perfect fit. Kimonos come in various lengths. Mangaliso says to try and avoid ankle-length versions and rather choose calf-length designs instead.
There are many different types of kimonos; they range from cotton to silk, satin and embroidered. They also come in every pattern under the sun from florals to stripes. There are a ton of different ways to style a Kimono, and the best part about it is that it instantly transforms your outfit and you can dress it up or down depending on the occasion. Some have rocked this trend with jeans, shorts, or even a simple dress. Another cool thing about a Kimono is that you can also wear it as a dress on its own – just add a belt and you’re ready to go. Many celebrities around the globe have been spotted rocking this trend. South African actress, Pearl Thusi, and Nigerian musician, Tiwa Savage, have found modern ways to show off the historical trend.
3Off The Shoulder
Fashion designer, Loubna Ayouche Combalat, says that off-the-shoulder tops and dresses will be a fashion phenomenon this summer. “It is no longer just about the straight-cross style, but a diversity in wearing them: Two-shoulder, one-shoulder, asymmetrical, cut-out. Summer is always a fun, happy season to explore new ideas,” says the designer. The one-shoulder look is not a new look. This trend has made a remarkable comeback from the 80s. Cameroonian fashion designer, Kibonen Nfi, says the shoulder cut-out look is chic, unique, versatile, and easy to style. She says you will definitely steal attention if you pair a one-shoulder top with high-waist pants, or even with a pair of tailored trouser pants with side pockets.
South African fashion designer, James Moroeng, added that one-shoulder dresses are a massive hit this season with shirt styles being in the spotlight and evening gowns with the one-shoulder design looking more sophisticated and refined than ever. Moroccan designer, Combalat, says one can definitely afford to play around with this trend …”from mini dresses to maxi styles, gowns to casual – one-shoulder styles are the detail that make a simple dress or top look interesting and give some edge or chicness to an otherwise too-common outfit.”
4All White
White is always the ‘it’ colour for summer. Whether you’re off to the beach, having lunch with the girls, or painting the city streets this summer, there’s something about an all-white ensemble that keeps things clean and simple, yet chic, and is an easy way to look fresh all season long. Designer Loubna Ayouche Combalat says that wearing white has always been a trend during the summer everywhere in the world. “I expect to see white again around this season, because of the popular notion that white leaves us cooler, hence fresher during the heat days, says Combalat.” She adds that the more layers you include, the more interesting your outfit will be.
Designer Kibonen Nfi says that if an all-white outfit is done right, it instantly adds an elegant and sophisticated vibe for every occasion. Nfi says, “Everyone can pull off this trend and look absolutely gorgeous. Pair your white skinny jeans with a white blouse for a timeless all-white look. You literally can’t go wrong with this outfit. Also, if your outfit includes a crop-top and a white blazer, it’s definitely a winning look. Let’s not forget a simple white dress, whether long or short – it will definitely make a statement this summer.”
5Bright Colours
Welcome to the season of colour confidence. Summer is a season of freedom and exploration. It’s time to show your true colours, and going colourful is a perfect way to express that. South African fashion designer, James Moroeng, says the girlier, the better this season. “Bump up the romance and don’t be afraid of bright colours. Summer allows you to play with colour.” But, he warns that sometimes colourful outfits are tricky to style. Moroeng says it’s easy to rock this trend if you stick to solids and make sure to colour block.
Designer, Loubna Ayouche Combalat, also added that mix-and-match colors and color-blocking will definitely give you that glow. Combalat says we must not play it safe with bold colours. “From powerful pinks, frog greens, red, sunshine yellows and zesty oranges. The only styling rule when it comes to colour for 2017 is wear lots of it. Orange and bright blue? Sure! Pink and purple? Go for it! Sky blue and scarlet, you will definitely turn heads with these colours.” Pink and red are colours we are traditionally told to keep separate. However, fashion designers at SA Fashion Week chose not to play it safe with this trend.
6Statement Sleeves
Attention-grabbing sleeves are stealing all the spotlight this summer. One cannot afford to miss out on this cool trend. The look is chic, girly, sophisticated, and elegant. One should definitely invest their money on the bell-shaped, bishop to balloon and loud ruffle sleeves. This trend adds a unique dose of fashion to even the simplest of outfits. Designer, James Moroeng, says when you choose to adopt this style, always remember to keep the rest of your look minimal and allow your statement bell sleeves to drive your outfit. “When shopping for bell sleeves look for styles that are a little flamboyant. And a simple silhouette in a neutral colour palette is all you need to finish this look.” And for those who are hoping for something a little dramatic – ruffle sleeves is a must-have in their wardrobe.
These sleeves are loud, fun, and attention-loving. Moroeng says, “Forget loud colours and patterns and opt for minimal black and white hues instead. Pair your ruffle sleeve shirt with simple designs such as cropped, straight-leg trousers. The straight-forward style will keep your look super stylish and chic, rather than letting it go over-the-top.” For those looking for something more conservative and simple, bishop sleeves are a must to have. These sleeves are soft and feminine. Most commonly spotted on lovely dresses, bishop sleeves complement the outfits to which they belong while remaining a standout feature in their own right.
7Print Clashes
Prints are never going to go out of style, and now the next big thing this summer is print clashes. For true fashionistas, clashing is a head-turning fashion statement and a fun way to transform outdated soloist pieces into revived ensembles. South African fashion designer, Rina Chunga, says it’s time to spice things up this summer and break the rules by mixing different patterns and prints. “Rather than wearing prints with a plain colour, we are now mixing prints with more prints.” Pattern-clashing is not an entirely new dimension to fashion. It is definitely one that keeps re-emerging on the runway. Chunga showcased her African print collection at SA Fashion Week last month. She says her collection was inspired by her deep love for Africa.
The Zambian-born fashion designer says that normally with African prints, people would also go for a safe option and pair them with a plain skirt or a pair of jeans. Chunga says think crop tops, peplum tops, boxy cuts and even blazers paired with another African print skirt, pants or shorts. South African fashion designer, Ekta Kalan, also added that clash prints and patterns are the next big thing to welcome the new season. Kalan says the focus for next season should be on contemporary styles from Africa, modern shapes and styles that are global, but yet truly authentic and unique to Africa, where heritage in prints, colours, and culture are incorporated into modern and global looks.
8Floral Prints
Some fashion trends never actually go out of style – like that little black dress, denim shorts, or high-waist pants. One of the biggest style statements that remains timeless is the floral pattern print. So, if you’re hoping to achieve that girly-girl look this summer, then you definitely need to add some florals to your wardrobe. Floral is one of those fashion features that can instantly make any woman feel feminine, says fashion designer, Carla Pinto. She adds that this girly look allows one to be creative and playful. “Floral prints allow for a mix of colours – from pretty pastels to moody taupe shades.” Pinto also went very big during her show at SA Fashion Week.
Talking to Africa.com, she’s suggested ways on how to rock this timeless trend. “Not sure how to work the floral trend? You don’t need to be head-to-toe in flower prints to celebrate this feminine style. Team a pretty floral bodycon dress with a more masculine leather or denim jacket for a rock-chick edge, or choose a floral blazer on top of a plain black midi. If you want to work floral, but to a minimum, floral pumps or a printed clutch purse are excellent understated accessories.”
9Denim
This trend is definitely here forever. Every few years, we see a significant shift in the shapes and cuts of denim. It allows fashion designers to get more and more creative. Kenyan-born fashion designer, Liz Ogumbo, says this timeless trend is universal and is suitable for every season and every body shape, and, of course, we can go even bigger this summer. From denim shorts to dresses, pants, and skirts, one can never go wrong. Ogumbo says for some it can be tricky at times to figure out how to wear denim in the hot summer months. The designer has given us some tips on how to pull this trend off and still enjoy the hot weather. “Denim shorts are pretty much obvious for summer. And everyone needs the perfect cropped jeans for summer. Also, the denim romper can be an alternative.
The playful onesie is a perfect summer piece to wear over swimsuits. Denim shirts also remain in style, but try do it differently this season. Instead of wearing the shirt, wear a little black lace dress to daytime and try wrapping it around your waist. I always have white denim for summer, but I like to play around with colour as well and incorporate other coloured denim as well,” says Ogumbo. South African fashion designer, Phiwase Nxumalo, adds that a classic denim jacket is a must for when the summer sun sets and can be worn with everything.
10Accessories
And to complete your summer look, you need the right accessories. According to fashion designer, Mangaliso, “African fashion accessories are the next big wave. This will now see more of them become better refined, everyday lifestyle items as opposed to exotic ‘costume’ from bags to jewellery.” Just like with style concepts of African jewellery have evolved, one of the best pieces that illustrate this is the Ndebele choker. Not only does it elongate posture, but gives one a glow that makes a bold statement. Another accessory that has been embraced is the Kenyan Masai Beaded Collar Neckpiece as it has often popped up in the most interesting places. Imagine a simple black bodycon dress paired with the Masai Beaded Collar…it brings the outfit to life regardless of the occasion. Of course a sun hat is a must-have for summer. Mangaliso says not just any old hat… “Not all sunhats are created equal and the wearer often knows the difference. Hats to marvel are the way, conversation pieces that what we are looking forward to this summer.” Block heels need to be in your closet whether you’re looking to add some height to your look. Designers at SA Fashion Week incorporated the style into their collection in several ways during the shows.
Summer is always a fun and happy season to explore new ideas, but when it comes to having a panache for style, everyone has their own. It represents their own message of expression, their own fingerprints on their selection of outfits. The fashion designers we spoke to say it’s always important to set your own trends based on how you feel when you wake up in the morning, the seasons, your personality, your body type, and everything around what you do. They say this is the time for the rise of individualism and a break from being dictated by international trends.
Diamond Platinumz and Tanasha Donna Oketch Wedding
Tanzanian singer Diamond Platnumz has called off his wedding to NRG Radio presenter Tanasha Donna.
The grand ceremony was set to take place on February 14 this year.
Around the same time last year, the father of three was dumped by his Ugandan baby mama Zari Hassan via Instagram.
Those privy to the details say that the Wasafi chief executive was only talking about the marriage for clout especially because the Wasafi Festival was about to take place.
After the concert, the Jibebe crooner during the after party told reporters that the wedding was off until a later date.
“Ndoa yangu ilitakiwa kuwa siku ya Valentines tarehe 14, lakini tumepeleka mbele,” he said.
Asked why the wedding was postponed indefinitely, he said that international artistes invited to what was supposed to be the grandest wedding of them all will not be available on Valentines Day.
“Watu wengi wanatakiwa kuhudhuria, sababu ndoa yangu watakuja kina Rick Ross, Omarion. I want it to be a royal wedding kama unavyoona wale Prince wa Uingereza zilizvyokuwa,” he added.
He and Tanasha have been dating for a couple of months now but have decided to keep their relationship under-wraps.
According to Diamond, Tanasha is the only woman who gets him especially after being in dramatic relationships with Zari and his other baby mama, Hamisa Mobetto.
Former President Daniel Moi’s son, Jonathan Moi on Saturday succumbed to cancer following a long illness.
In 1988, Jonathan, who is a former rally driver, was accused of killing the daughter of British photographer
Julie Ward was killed in 1988 by Moi at Maasai Mara game reserve after she refused to have s3x with him.
In an interview with one of the local dailies, Julie’s father, accused the eldest son of retired President Daniel Moi of orchestrating the murder of the enthusiastic photographer.
Apparently the dictator’s son along with his bodyguards was on his way to inspect another of his farms when he saw Julie Ward & got an itch. He decided to do what he used to do with any woman he fancied: rape. He left her nursing her bruises. But later fearing being reported ordered Julie Ward put to death. There are those who say he personally killed her. The widely accepted version is: the coward ordered the bodyguards to kill Julie Ward then burned her body to cover up. The guards were either amateurish or perverse as they left her half burnt.
Julie Ward’s father
”Our government sensing that Moi didn’t want this to be a murder decided to help him in the cover up. He (Jonathan) raped and killed my daughter. That’s why the government covered up the matter,” he said.
Similar claims resurfaced on Saturday when Mr Moi died in Nakuru, with disgraced Kenyan lawyer Miguna Miguna sensationally attacking President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga for eulogizing Jonathan despite ‘killing Julie Ward’.
Moi’s son Jonathan Moi
“IRONCLAD evidence proves that Jonathan Moi MURDERED Julie Ward in 1988 at the Maasai Mara but instead of serving the rest of his life in jail, Uhuru Kenyatta and @RailaOdinga mourn Jonathan as “kind, generous and humble.” Real patriots should sweep despots to the Indian Ocean,” Miguna wrote.

Biashara Remix with STL was the song that catapulted Khaligraph to stardom. His first pro show was at Zetech University where he was paid Ksh50,000 for the gig. He started climbing up the ranks from this point. He has now released a large number of hit tracks and gotten a really massive fanbase. He won the Best Rap Act at Annual African Muzik Magazine Awards (AFRIMMA) beating the likes of Phyno, Olamide, Sakordie, and Nasty C.
According to an organizer, Khaligraph has adjusted his rate card and currently asks for Ksh1 million to perform at any show. If you have worked together with his then maybe he may revise it downwards. However, if major brands are sponsors of the event then he will definitely ask for a bigger cut.
Khaligraph is also able to make a solid income from endorsement deals. He has been sponsored by brands like Tusker, Redbull, Monster, Bel Air.
