Khaligraph Jones’ recent escapade in London has stirred up a storm of opinions, particularly from UK-based entertainment journalist John Mosh Muchiri. The rap artist’s decision to allegedly decline an interview slot on BBC 1xtra during his London visit sparked a fiery critique from Muchiri, who took to Facebook to air his views.
Detailing the unfolding drama, Muchiri laid down the facts. Khaligraph’s London touchdown via Gatwick Airport marked the start of a series of events leading up to his performance at the Royal Regency Hotel hall, boasting a capacity for a thousand Kenyan fans. The show promised some pre-performance comedy acts as well.

However, in an unexpected twist, Khaligraph’s lack of media interaction since arriving in London raised eyebrows. According to Muchiri, even the likes of BBC 1xtra and members of Sauti Sol attempted to reach out, all in vain. Despite the efforts to snag a spot on DJ Edu’s show, Khaligraph remained unresponsive. This put a damper on his chances, as scheduling constraints loomed large. With the coming week fully booked, Khaligraph’s options were limited unless he extended his stay.

Muchiri didn’t hold back in his criticism. He questioned the artist’s choices and his management’s seeming lack of action. The current focus, according to Muchiri, appeared to be centered on sightseeing and photo ops in London, which contrasted sharply with Khaligraph’s upcoming performances in Mwea and Kericho.
In a subsequent post, Muchiri took his critique a step further. He emphasized the importance of strategic planning in a musician’s career, highlighting London’s significance as a gateway to the international market. Drawing parallels with successful artists like Burna Boy, Davido, Asake, and Sauti Sol, Muchiri stressed the value of BBC1XTRA for global exposure.
Despite Muchiri’s claims, it later came to light that Khaligraph Jones was indeed aware of the interview and had attended it. This revelation prompted Muchiri to backtrack on his statements. He extended an apology to Khaligraph for his tone and acknowledged the need to communicate his points without personal bias.
In a candid admission, Muchiri confessed that his intention was never to undermine Kenyan musicians but rather to shed light on missed opportunities. He pledged to continue sharing his insights and updates from the entertainment realm while reiterating his unwavering support for Kenyan music.
