The gloves really came off in this issue, didn't they? Words have been thrown around this issue so much, it's easy to get lost on who started this conversation on playing Kenyan music and whether there's hope in the end. Here's a breakdown of who lit the fire, to the one who fanned it and some of the reactions from Kenyans and local musicians.Khaligraph Jones made a post on Instagram last week saying that he'll pay for journalists to fly to Nigeria. This was during his trip to Lagos for the Sound City Music Awards. Why? So that they can confirm Kenyan music is not played there as much as how Kenyan media houses play West African music. Here is the post.https://www.instagram.com/p/BsSdz_BBVQO/Comedian-cum-radio presenter Jalang'o was not impressed by Khaligraph's sentiments and he fired back, faulting musicians who think radio presenters deliberately refuse to play their songs. Jalang'o stated that Kenyans don't particularly consume local music citing top charts like Apple Music which do not feature Kenyan artistes.

Music and entertainment publicist Anyiko Owoko jumped in on the conversation to defend media houses, giving a shout out to the ones that already play local music. Here is her post.https://www.instagram.com/p/BsXZnSQHdqO/Famed radio personality Maina Kageni then commented on Daddy Owen's post saying, "….tell your contemporaries to give us content that will push foreigners off our playlists…you are highly rotated, advise them on what they need to do to be the next Daddy Owen."These four were getting media traction and fueling the debate on whether local stations should play 100% Kenyan music, or at least a larger share of local music. Meanwhile, Kenyans on Twitter were tearing at the local music industry while the artistes who are on the platform shared their thoughts. What do you think about this whole debate?
