When rapper Khaligraph Jones made an appearance on national TV, Kenyans were apalled by his lighter skin tone.
The rapper claimed that his skin was lighter because he was drinking better water and hustling in the sun much less. A statement that elicited confused reactions.
Only yesterday his music rival Octopizzo called him out on social media, telling Khaligraph that he could always open up about any self esteem issues he might be having.
“Ndugu Omollo, nilikua nataka nikutoe Rangi lakini sasa siwezi ju umejitoa mwenyewe! Ok this is not even funny am in shock!!,kama ni ukweli hizi risto naskia ati unajipaka aloevera then congratulations coz you just played yourself; Na Kama umecatch feelings katoe diss track coz matime we ukua na kiherehere sana.
But as my brother in hip-hop, kama ni self-esteem issues please am open to talk to you as a peer coz sometimes the society can be harsh & am saying this coz #iCare and you are a friend."
Khaligraph has responded to the bleaching allegations with a new track titled Toa Tint.
In the song he implies that it does not matter whether he bleached his skin since his rap game is still on top.
