The moment a Kenyan DJ played RUTO's "shoot-the-leg" sound in a club sparking ‘Wantam’ and ‘Ruto Must Go’ chants! (VIDEO)

Wednesday, July 23, 2025 - President Ruto’s controversial directive urging police to "shoot the leg" of looters during protests is now being used in the nightlife scene by creative DJs to protest.

A viral video shows a Kenyan DJ remixing the directive live in a club, sparking chants of "wantam" and "Ruto must go" among revelers.

"Wantam," slang for "one term," is a rallying cry urging Kenyans to vote Ruto out in the 2027 elections.

While the president's remarks have drawn heavy backlash and condemnation, creatives are now joining the resistance - infusing political dissent into entertainment spaces.

Through music and satire, they’re calling out the administration over corruption, extra-judicial killings, and abductions targeting vocal youth.
