People come from far and King Kaka is just one of the many examples of those who rose above his situation to make it.

In a heartfelt post to his fans, King Kaka revealed that just five years ago, he was being paid Ksh 5,000 to perform and at one point his mother even urged him to quit.

‘’I might be one of the highest paid artistes in East Africa right now.

 But A few years back it was all a dream, all I wanted was to get my family and family name out of poverty, and I tell people King Kaka is not by Luck, I worked hard usiku na mchana just to get the brand out there.

I was so lucky to be Mentored by Chiwawa (my best rapper since high school) and by God's grace I became his hype man.

Then God started opening doors, one day I walked home and told my mother 'I want you to quit your job' (she raised us by selling fruits in Industrial area) .

So the other day I met one of the guys who believed in me, in 2011 he gave me a gig and paid me Kshs 5000 (That's the contract below).

Juzi we met at some high end meeting, I was in my usual suits and I had just packed my vehicle (notice nimesema 'my vehicle' 'suits' 'high end meeting') and we laughed, he is now one of the biggest CEOs in Kenya and I am King Kaka. Impossible Is Nothing. 

Rule number 2, NEVER STOP, rule Number 1. GOD #TunakulaLifeNaAdabu.’’ He posted.

Luckily he did not give up and he is now one of the most paid artists in East Africa.

Other than business, King Kaka has ventured into acting- making cameos in local productions,his latest being Vioja Mahakamani and Machachari.
