Parody simply means imitating a particular artist style of play, writer or genre with deliberate exaggeration for comic effects. In Kenya, Peter Kaimenyi aka Kajairo surfaced almost two decades ago as the father of parody, amplifying his prowess in Redykulass. Kajairo’s lyrics in his music parodies spurred a lot of beef between him and artists who claimed that he was disrespecting their songs.
