Earlier this week, I was in a meeting that was honestly very sad. Over 30 artists do not own their music yes most of the hits you know, their names, or even the rights to their images and this is in perpetuity. This has had serious consequences: many music groups have stopped releasing songs because anything they create does not belong to them, and they cannot secure endorsements since they don’t own their image rights.

When they tried to exit, some of them were sued in California and are now required to pay the label $1 million. We are witnessing one of the most significant IP cases of our time. I am confident they will eventually get out of it.

We sit in these meetings not as politicians, but as citizens advocating for policies that shape how our industry operates, grows, and sustains livelihoods.

Some people are born for greatness. No matter which road they wander, something unseen keeps rearranging the path in their favor. It’s not luck. It's a conversation between their soul and something higher. As if the Universe recognizes them and whispers, “I remember who you are."

Liftoff.

The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon.

Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

It was inspiring to watch the Artemis II launch yesterday — @NASA’s first crewed mission around the moon since 1972. Our space program has always captured an essential part of what it means to reach beyond what we thought was possible, and I hope the four brave astronauts on this mission will inspire a new generation to follow in their footsteps.

Women have a superpower men will never understand

They can wake up one day and feel nothing for you like you never existed. Even after being obsessed with you the day before.

Not because they’re cold but because once their brain decides you’re not the guy anymore it rewires instantly

Men don’t work like that

We sit there replaying everything trying to fix something that’s already gone…

[𝐁𝐈𝐆 𝐌𝐎 … @JaYunnaMonae]

Facing your own mess is heavy. Coming to terms with the choices YOU made, the times YOU didn’t protect yourself, the moments you crossed your own boundaries. That point where you realize everybody can’t take the blame and you had a hand in what fell apart too. Sitting with that truth hurts, but learning how to forgive yourself hurts even more. Growth doesn’t move in a straight line. Days like this are part of it. Feel it, acknowledge it, but don’t get stuck living there.

Have you been wondering why the dollar has been stagnant at 129? Why did the IMF suddenly question why the dollar has been stagnating since last year?Have you been asking yourself why No 2 from US is coming next month? Do you know why Argentina was bailed out by the US? A whooping 40B USD?

Well, Geopolitical is playing a crucial role right now. Kenya's debt was going higher, and economic indicators were not good. The thing is, Argentina was bailed out by big people(big investors in wall Street) in the US because if it fails, the bonds are going to crash and they will end up losing huge chunk of their money. Another factor is China.

China has been very deep in South America and Africa. The US is fighting back their dominance by starting to loan back and revive economies of some specific countries. In South America, Argentina and Brazil. In Africa, Egypt and Kenya. And that's why Vance is coming to Kenya. He is coming to sweet talk Kenya out of China deals. They might even pay the Chinese debt that we have. The US are trying to prove to the world that they can still have a day in resuscitating economies and dominating regions.

Watch closely what happens before January 2026. Kenya will shift. Ruto, as usual, will bend easy because he has very limited options now. The economy is spiralling downwards. The dollar has been propped up for long and showed signs of collapsing in December or early next year. But here comes the savior.

So, what does this mean for Kenya?

The Kenyan citizens are still the pawns of Ruto, who is the pawn of the west. The west are pawns of Wall Street. Wall Street are pawns of big investors. So, Kenya is turning back west.

Watch the space closely.

Kenyans have been urging local musicians to come together and create a tribute song for Raila Amolo Odinga. It sounds noble, a unifying act to honor a man who has carried the nation’s burden for decades. But what most people don’t understand is that it’s not that simple. It’s a tricky, uncomfortable situation, one that exposes a deep wound in our creative industry and our collective conscience.

For years, many Kenyan artists and celebrities have been the weakest link in moments that demanded courage and conviction. When the people took to the streets, when voices rose against oppression and injustice, our artists were silent, waiting for the wind to decide which side to blow.

Even during the Finance Bill protests, most only spoke up after ordinary Kenyans flooded their comment sections and timelines, dragging them out of the comfort of neutrality.

Some of these same artists have been quick to take that short drive up the hill, to collect brown envelopes from the very architects of the pain that the people live with. How then can you expect them to sing about Raila Odinga, a man whose name alone represents defiance, resilience, and rebellion against that same establishment?

You can’t fake conviction. You can’t sing passion you don’t feel. Tribute songs aren’t just melodies, they are emotional offerings. You can’t write one for a man like Raila Amolo Odinga unless you’ve felt what he meant and still means to a struggling Kenyan, unless you’ve walked through the fire that shaped his story. And that’s the problem.

Most of these artists never believed in Raila’s dream. They never understood his fight. They saw politics as gigs — campaign stages to perform on, not movements to believe in. They took the money, performed the songs, posed for photos, and went home untouched.

There’s a kind of music that cannot be bought. It comes from the soul. From conviction. From truth. And when truth is foreign to your art, you’ll always struggle to sing for a man who embodied it.

I don’t like to mince words because mincing words is how we got here. A country of entertainers, not artists. A people more loyal to comfort than conscience.

Bwana that is the whole truth and if you feel hurt by it, remember Baba fought for free speech. And I am exercising that right gracefully.
