Rapper Kenneth Aketch alias Kenrazy has lost his Instagram account to hackers. Sharing the unfortunate news with his fans on social media, the Mbilikomo Mkora crooner revealed that his account was hacked by persons who demanded a ransom of Sh150, 000 to give it back but as he explained, the terms of their negotiation felt off and he opted to surrender the account.

“My page which had over 140,000 followers was hacked.  The hacker went on to delete all my photos and demand I give him $1,500 which is approximately Sh150,000 which when I keenly looked at, his terms for giving me back the account, it felt weird,” he wrote.
