Comedian Butita has denied claims that Rapper KRG the Don is a billionaire.

According to a recent interview, Butita said KRG's net wealth is in terms of Ugandan shilling and not in Ksh.

Butita was speaking about artists he would invite for his baby reveal next week on Monday.

Asked why he did not invite KRG, Butita said he was checking on the net worth.

"I was checking on the net worth. He reasons in terms of Ugandan money. He speaks fluent Ugandan. So he does not know how to convert his money.

The five million is in Ugandan Money. The richest artiste for sure right now in Kenya is DJ Shiti."

"You cannot see money by looking at someone."

Speaking to Mpasho.co.ke, the flamboyant rapper had bragged about being a billionaire.

He said he could account for his wealth stating that his family saw his potential and invested in him indirectly.

"I was always a smart kid and from as early as I was in High school, I started making money while still in school," he said.

"My dad used to give me a lot of money, he used to give me like Sh150,000 and I only needed Sh40,000. I was keen and used it wisely."

He became a shylock, lending money to other students.

"I studied in Kampala and clothes are cheaper there. So, I would also bring clothes to my friends and as time goes on, I was already a millionaire," he said.

KRG said it's mostly lazy people who are accusing him of being involved in 'wash wash' (money laundering).

"When someone is down and they do not want to work hard, they can create any story. They start saying it is illegal business since I have friends who have been mentioned in the 'wash wash' thing," he said.

KRG invited anyone with doubts about his wealth to report him to the authorities, saying he is ready to account for his money.

He said at 31, he is a billionaire.

"I have not calculated my wealth but I know I am above a billion. I invest wisely and do my maths. Every youth should have a goal in life and work hard," he said.

During Butita's 29th birthday last year, he was treated to a 110K birthday gift by Kenyan rapper KRG the Don.

KRG then washed the comedian with a bottle of champagne before handing him the cash.
