Bye bye: Why legendary Kenyan rapper Abbas Kubaff left Kenya, probably for good

A year after hosting a few friends to a private wedding in South Coast, K-South finest Abbas Kubaff threw yet another private ceremony and announced he is leaving the country for good

Watching his 2014 release, Mchizi, a true confession about the pain in his life, one could clearly pick Abbas Kubaff’s mind. That of a hip-hop star whose life has been stalked by unfortunate events. He says he does not care what people think of him. He says many call him a mad man.

Emotionally, he raps about his late parents and his brother who got lost.

He pleads, saying he wishes to meet Baby Gangsta in another life.
