Nairobi County Senator Johnson Sakaja has opened up about a little known phase of his early life. Speaking during an interview with rapper Nyashinski, the lawmaker briefly talked about his rap career and the trick he used to get his songs played on the radio.
The senator revealed that he was a rapper and would personally push his songs to play on the radio by opening different email addresses to vote for his songs. This was possible as he also owned a cybercafé in town back in the day, making it easier for him to create multiple email addresses per one sitting. According to the vocal youth leader, the trick worked because every time he created the accounts and voted, his songs would get some airplay.
