Kenyan rapper King Kaka has joked that he is heading back to the studio after coming across unusual campaign merchandise bearing politicians’ names.
The musician reacted after photos of panties branded with a political campaign message surfaced online, with the underwear carrying the words “Vote Pigi for GVN.”
The unusual merchandise caught King Kaka’s attention, prompting him to share his reaction on social media.

King Kaka appeared amused by what he had seen and suggested that the situation could inspire his next musical project.
“Politicians now branding panties za voters. Acha niingie studio.”
The post has also added a humorous twist to the ongoing conversations around the different ways politicians and their supporters use branded items to attract attention during campaigns.
While political merchandise is not unusual, the choice of underwear made the particular post stand out and gave King Kaka a rather unexpected source of inspiration.
King Kaka and His Social Commentary
King Kaka, whose real name is Kennedy Ombima, has previously used his music to comment on social and political issues affecting Kenyans.
The rapper has built a reputation for combining music, storytelling and social commentary, often using his platform to discuss issues that generate public debate.
One of his most recognised projects in this space was Wajinga Nyinyi, a spoken-word track released in 2019. The song addressed political and social issues while questioning both politicians and voters, attracting widespread attention at the time.
His ability to turn topical conversations into music has remained one of the notable features of his career. King Kaka has also continued to experiment with different forms of storytelling, allowing him to connect entertainment with conversations happening in society.
This latest reaction follows the same playful approach, although it remains unclear whether the branded underwear will actually make its way into a King Kaka song.
