At around 2012, most Kenyan musicians used Illuminati controversy to raise to fame and remain relevant in the game. You know who I’m talking about? Acha niwa-Plug.
MaGenZs mnaezapitwa kidogo na hii story but najua mko familiar nayo. It’s more than a decade ago, Octopizzo was rising to prominence, his success was attributed to Illuminati. Here’s the reason why.
In the ivo ivo (evil evil evil) song, the video was dominated with images of Horus eye, pyramids and other objects related to the Illuminati secret society. And the lyrics were also giving illuminati. “Evil ndio me naspit kama Lucifer ka unadai we ndio sh*t loo si far.” That was now my boy Octopizzo. Alikua na bars mingi kushinda Nairobi West.
His next song was Swag featuring Amina that was equally dominated with illuminati signs and symbols. Na hii ndio part of showbiz that CMB Prezzo brought to East Africa Music when he pulled up with a chopper at Carnivore. Octo knew the power of showbiz in Music na hivyo ndio alitumia hio attention to even soar high and higher. Namba Nane to the World. Hadi akatuambia “Tangu nitoke Berlin, Mifuko zimejaa money (Germany) kama Player wa Bundesliga, nawaacha na ma S-Pain ka La Liga…”… Prime Octo was something else bana. I still listen to his old songs on repeat.
It was also at this time that people said Raila was also a member after “beating” this photo with rapper Henry Ohanga. What we never understood at that time is n*ga was just chasing clout na ivo ndio aliomoka. “Siwezi buy ndai na mtaani Bado Raila ana ni Owe-Dinga!” Kids of today will never know the greatness that Octo has dropped during them days kazi yao ni kuskiza half baked rappers.
“Me, I’m not illuminati…I pray three times per day” Stevo Simple Boy tells Trudy Kitui on an interview.
Kenyan musician Stevo Simple Boy wasn’t freshy barida after being accused. He has denied claims that he is in the Illuminati following recent changes and success in his life. The singer attributes it all to his faith. He urges his fans to stop falsely accusing him of being a member of the cult.
Coastal based artist, Susumila, denied claims that his song Tawire is an Illuminati song. It’s said that the Kide Kide hitmaker was forced to create a song in praise of the cult following his success kwa mziki.
Remember Bamboo, the African Bantu? “Usilete compe, kwanza kwa manzi yangu manze, I say, usiniletee…” This song ilikua inakupata exactly ukiwa na mabeshte wako mtaa au club na mko hunting hours. Then boom, the song comes in. Back to business. Bamboo alidai pia yeye alikua approached na illuminati but he didn’t agree to join.
“I thought it was just about music, about creativity, you know, about just creating music that inspires people, kumbe wapi bro. Behind the scenes it’s more than just music.” Bamboo alichapia Tuva kwa Mseto East Africa.
It’s hard kujua mtu yuko kwa illuminati? Au wanaonekana? This means kuna watu wengi wako ndani na hawaezi kubali. Let’s take it this way, kama it’s a good thing, mbona watu wengi wanakataa kukubali they’re in illuminati?
“Kuna watu wengi, artists, ambao tunawapenda, but behind the scenes, wako na agenda” Bamboo told Mzazi Willy M Tuva.
Hizi stories kitambo zilikua zinakaa fictious but the more you grow zinakua close bana. Sahii kwanza hadi our style of dressing utaambiwa ni satanic. Ukishave design flani pia ni mbaya. How are you surviving huku nje?
“Wewe ni mwanaume, unavaa kama dem kwanini? And if we keep quiet, as entertainers then that means that we’re complicit.” Bamboo added.
Kuna time Magix Enga alitrend sana. Hiyo time alikua ameshikilia industry ya mziki the Gengetone era. He produced more than quarter of the Gengetone hits.
“I don’t regret joining illuminati” Magix Enga Posted on his social media platforms.
Come to think of it. Other celebrities denies being part of it while their actions tells otherwise, na Magix anatusho ako ndani. Was he clout chasing? Because later on tena alisema wanataka kummaliza. Later on Magix’s life ilienda sege mnege au ndio mnege msege?
Wakenya ni watu hatari sana. Niliskia eti wizi pia ni kazi jina tu ndiyo mbaya! In 2023, Kenyans accused gospel singer Stephen Kasolo, for being a member of the Illuminati just because alituonyesha the lavish lifestyle he was living after he married the love of his life, Grace. Kenyans took it on a different angle and accused him since he looked rich na hawakuwai expect hivyo. Ukiwa na pesa better live a private life au utaekelewa pia. Ama niteme jaba?
Six years ago, a song titled Rider was dropped. This song caught attention of many. The vocals, the visuals, the atmosphere that it leaves in your mind. Aah ziii. Ilikua inakuacha na maswali. This is Khaligraph Jones’ song featuring Petra. The video displays them slashing a man to death then eating his raw bloody kidney as they’re all in black attire. Rumors zikaanza kama kawa eti Khali yuko illuminati. He boldly dismissed these claims.
Mnakumbuka Khali akiingia stage kwa coffin? Ilikua during the Jameson Connect concert at Uhuru Gardens, Nairobi, OG made headlines after making his stage entrance in a coffin! Everybody confirmed that indeed ako illuminati. But it wasn’t long he addressed this on his Khali Cartel.
“They say I am Illuminati but wapi, that’s a lie” raps Khali.
