King Kaka

A few months ago Kenyan rapper King Kaka was fighting for his life after he was misdiagnosed and given the wrong medication.

This meant he was treating an ailment that was not present while the real ailment went untreated.

"Day 1 on arrival at the Hospital. I was too weak to walk so they rolled me in on a wheelchair. Keep in mind I had never been sick to the point of being hospitalized. This was a 1st. And all the tests Kept coming -Ve," he shared

To celebrate his recovery Kaka has released the jam 'Manifest' featuring Nviiri the Story teller.
