“I have seen many comments from Kenyans from Yesterday to today on my YouTube page and their media houses and influential people from Kenya.
“But I see also my Tanzanian people arguing that the song is about their Country 100% and Kenyans should relax.
“Through this song, we get to answers on these two countries (Kenya and Tanzania) and the type of lifestyle that exists and the leaders that are found in these countries,” Nay Wa Mitego said.
The star proceeded to challenge both Kenyans and Tanzanians to vote on the country that his song #WapiHuko best describes.
Nay Wa Mitego is a provocative Tanzanian artist whose songs have faced multiple bans by the government.
