A Memory from SabaSaba
Sharing a personal encounter, Malcom narrated how he once crossed paths with the rapper at a local gym in the SabaSaba area of Kayole.
“Nakumbuka kuna base fulani hapo SabaSaba. Hapo chini ilikuwa ni gym… Khaligraph alinipiga KSh 10. Hiyo ilikuwa ni form. Nilikuwa naona Khaligraph akiinua chuma hapo.”
According to Malcom, he and his friends had gone to clean the gym when Khaligraph gave him KSh 10 — a small gesture that left a lasting impression. He also recalled watching the rapper train, lifting weights with determination, long before achieving mainstream success.
