releasing his controversial anti-Ruto song dubbed Wantam.

his disappearance.
He clarified that the artist who had died was “Papa wa
Busia,” who was shot during protests, urging Kenyans to stop spreading fake
news.
“I am alive, and please stop spreading news that I have died. I am
Papa TV King of Comedy. The ‘Papa’ who died was Papa wa Busia,” he

threats from an unknown individual who contacted him via TikTok and WhatsApp.
The person, posing as a fan, demanded he pulls down the Wantam
video from YouTube, warning of dire consequences if he refused.

what I am telling you… or else I will come for you myself.”

including President William Ruto, and insisted that he never intended it to go
viral.
