“Didn't want to post this coz sikutaka ikae kiburi. Anyway, I'm the number #1 most searched musician in the 254 according to @google..when I say I don't support the idea of our musicians buying views just to fool the fans and make themselves look bigger, hawajuangi sababu. Now look wapi wale wakununua views kwa hii list? Where are they?” Part of his caption read.

Willy Paul also issued a warning to all other local artists urging them to take this as a learning lesson and stick to their lanes because he is on a league of his own.

“Just want to thank all of you for always showing love and support. I'm promising nothing but the best in my upcoming album which is still going to make me the best,” he added.
