Kenyan hip hop community needs to save Johnny Vigeti

#investigative

He became a topic of discussion a few weeks ago on 89.5- Ghetto Radio. DJ Prince was hosting Ukoo Flani’s Sharama and he brought up the issue of what he had investigated on Johnny Vigeti

A respected and honorable rapper amongst many in the Hip-Hop circles; Johnny was one of the pioneers of Kenyan hip-hop with Roba and  kama, the latter who is abroad and has seen the jail more times than one, with drug addiction said to be the problem.

When Vigeti rhymed; “…Niko Na home nyingi kushinda ma-boys wa Mike Rabar in the hip hop classic piga bao…” he did not have the jail in mind.

“Every little penny he gets is spent on acquiring drugs,” said a member of Ukoo Flani of the artiste, who was recently bailed out of Industrial Area Prison. The same sentiments were confirmed by DJ Prince.

The above cases may sound chilling, but only goes ahead to prove that our adored stars are equally vulnerable to the ills that rock everyone in the society- reckons The Pulse Pullout.
