Do you know at your age, that you can be Lamba Lolo’s father-damn, even Khali’s father, but instead of encouraging them, you are trying to break them down? Hawa wasee wa Lamba Lolo ni wasee wa mtaa vi serious-would you prefer that they were robbing supermarkets and getting killed by cops than doing music? Uko serious,ata kidogo? My song that you refused to play- Banjuka- is Kenya’s biggest pop hit EVER, period. A few months after you turned me down,me and my guys walked into Ogilvy and licensed the song for 100,000$. Yes.A hundred thousand dollars,” DNA’s post reads in part.
