My name is Bervon Micheni, a Kenyan culture journalist and a lover of art. I am passionate about music and the culture and aim to use my voice to promote and critic in both extremes.

The problem with growing up poor is, it creates an imaginary world of opulence that you would like to have. You chase imaginations of things you lacked as a child.The lack of basic things growing up often makes you want to avenge poverty in very diabolical ways. Khaligraph Jones is a prime example, and it is okay for him to get the things he wants.

Original Post by Khaligraph

Do I hate his new house? Not at all, does is matter? Not at all. Kenyans will joke about anything, but as part of the jokes, some people are actually serious and they hate his house, very hilarious.

Khaligraph Jones has been flaunting his new 100 million mansion for months, a sure show of success for the years and years of hardwork he has been putting in.Is he the best rapper from Kenya? Not really, Is he the most hardworking? Yes. Khaligraph Jones, real names Brian Omollo from Bondo, represents Kayole, a slummish ghettoish settlement at the heart of Nairobi Kenya. With the knowledge of his background it would be very unfair to castigate a man for fulfilling his dream. He is the representation of what a working man can achieve.

In a photo shared by Khaligraph himself, his mother was seen in all smiles seemingly enjoying the fruits of his son’s labour. I can assure you that the smile on his mother’s face is the only thing that matters to Khaligraph and not whatever Kenyans think. Who gives a heck if Kenyans On Twitter think his house looks like a mall? In very extreme photoshops, KoT have done stupendous edits in a bid to mock his new living quarters, with reasons best known to them. But let people have fun right?

In a story shared by Aress 66, one of the best producers and rappers to stem out of the 254, Khaligraph jones used to clean his studio in Umoja circa 2013 to get studio sessions. That is the man Kenyans want to regret building himself the exact kind of house he wished for because “Kenyans online don’t like it”. I don’t worship Khaligraph but I respect his hustle, he is one of the artists that have shown that there is money in art. The journey from being housed in Dandora by someone that let him sleep on their couch, to owning a big mansion, it shows progress, shows that your dreams can be achieved.

There exists a grandiose kind of feeling amongst Kenyans that is very baffling, as a critic of art, I understand it because I harbour the same syndrome too. Sometimes, I overestimate my opinion on something, it’s not normal but I will still do it. However we can appreciate the humor in Kenyans because we are a hilarious people, the problem is, we are too much in other people’s business.

Something about artists and athletes, we love the good life, the high and might. It is my opinion that Khaligraph is doing everything he wants because he can and there is absolutely nothing we can do about it.
