KENYA: 'Give My Award to Wahu' - Namba Nane Rapper Octopizzo Goes on Rant After Receiving Award

The ‘Bingwa Awards’ went down last Friday bigger than ever with many notable celebs the likes of Bahati, Wyre, Sauti Sol, Gabu among many others receiving awards at the event.

And there were celebrations and congratulations all round for the winners except for one guy. Octopizzo who was awarde the Bingwa Comeback Artist of the Year Award felt he didn’t deserve the award saying he never went anywhere to begin with and that Wahu should have been the winner of the categorty.

After the awards ceremony, the rapper further aired his sentiments of disappointment on social media. Here’s what he wrote;

“Thanks for #BingwaAwards for the Award last Night,unfortunately I won't take the award of "ComeBack Artist Of The Year" I never went anywhere,I've been here since my 1st hit single OnTop,I put in more work than any artist of my Genre ,unless you are awarding me for coming back from my Europe tour then it doesn't make sense ,I never understand awards in this Country,I'd rather you acknowledge & Respect my work than award me & nominating me for a "comeback" Award which was such a joke,so if you don't mind plizz give my award to #Wahu who was in the same category. Next time you nominate me please make sure you do a background check of my catalogue;The Quality of Hip hop music when it comes to Audio & video that I've brought to this industry since I stepped in. You can't compare to any not even close,All in all I wish you the best and congrats to the "Winners" last night & we still have along way to go as far as awards are concerned. "Take What's Yours not what's Given to You"
OCTO
