Capital FM Sparks Social Media Uproar Over Controversial Madaraka Day Post
The Capital Group-owned radio station received some major backlash after sharing a poster displaying a black face of the American statue of liberty, accompanied with a Kenyan bracelet on the wrist to its 1.4 million followers on Twitter. "This day 57 years ago, KENYA got her MADARAKA", read the poster, "We pray that African Americans also get their LIBERTY soon." The tweet was further captioned, "On this MADARAKA Day, we'd like to EXPRESS our solidarity with everyone still under oppression". Kenyans addressed the distaste of the post, with a number addressing issues affecting the home ground that the station failed to highlight with the same "energy".One Twitter user said, "Didn't see you do this for evictees in Kariobangi, the femicide in this country, the extrajudicial killings that are rampant, the Baby Pendos, Somali community, and the queer community". Capital is yet to offer an explanation regarding the latest controversy.On this MADARAKA Day, we'd like to EXPRESS our solidarity with everyone still under oppression ✊?#SamuelMaina #DJEvolve #GeorgeFloyd #MadarakaDay pic.twitter.com/1HfA9xe4yf

Ethic Entertainment Calls Out Octopizzo For Declining Collaboration
Gengetone boy band Ethic Entertainment has been promoting their debut album "Big Man Bado Odinare" for a while now. However, their latest publicity stunt seems to have done the trick and gotten the country buzzing.The "Quarantei" hit makers took to Twitter on Sunday calling out Octopizzo for turning down their collaboration request. "We gave @OCTOPIZZO the privilege to be on our super dope album but hakuona vision", read the tweet, "Truth ni numbers ziko but ange kuja tu na zile mathogothanio zake, video for the song wasnt part of the plan...all in all watch out june 13th album droppin, 'BIG MAN BADO ODINARE' Ni mbwaya ni moto".The 8-track "Big Man Bado Odinare"album, which only features Khaligraph Jones, is slated for release June 13.Our guess is that Octo never replied to that DM. The boy band has came out today to address the issue saying they offered Octo a "priviledge" to be on their album but he didn't see the vision.
As you might have guessed, Octo never replied. pic.twitter.com/ZrdHEmxN9D— The Kommunity (KoT) (@The_Kommunity) May 31, 2020
