Kenyan rapper Wangeci demands pay from Techno mobile company

One of Kenya’s celebrated rapper Wangeci, who was once involved in an accident and one of her best friend died, has come forward to complain of how a mobile company misused her image. This is what she posted on her Facebook page

“I'm not one to raise my voice online but it reaches a moment where you have to fight for your hard work, and what you believe in. In early June Techno Kenya ran an ad campaign around a new phone and used my image for that campaign. They used my image and likeness in the form of an advertisement which came across as an endorsement of the product. They did not seek my approval or consent for it; neither did they pay for the use of my image and likeness. After 8 weeks of legal conversation, they went silent and deleted all images and videos associated with me.
