A search on the groups youtube page shows it does not exist. The song supposedly had over 8 million views before it was pulled down.
The claims began Saturday December 14, as the duo, famous for the song remained silent.
“this crew pulled down “anguka Nayo” Just bcz of envy” they allegedly said.
HoodBoyz on their Instagram page, shared a screenshot of a headline about the song being pulled down. They did not comment any further about it, as fans questioned the claim.
Anguka nayo wis an arbantone song, that went viral mostly during the Anti-Government protests held from June this year. Any political situation was used to indicate ‘anguka nayo’
.Kenyans took to their online platforms to weigh in on the matter, where some bashed the duo for performing while others sided with them saying that artistes need to earn a living.
Sam Michaka, the duo’s manager, addressed the issue in an interview with Nation Africa.
“We performed during the Mashujaa Day celebrations because the government wanted us to. That does not mean we support the government,” said Michaka.
“Wadagaliz have no problem with anyone, and we will continue doing our job. If people love us, they will love us; those who don’t love us, that’s their problem.”
Wadagliz are not the only artistes to face backlash.
On December 12 at the Jamuhuri day celebrations held at Uhuru Park, a section of performers who entertained the crowd also faced backlash.
Gospel artiste Daddy Owen reacted, revealing that Kenyans ‘salimiad’ him.
Salimia is a lose term used to show that Kenyans have taken to the WhatsApp to write harsh comments to people perceived to be taking political side.
“We shall be honouring our artists by renaming some roads. For instance, one road in South C will be renamed after the great hero, E-sir.” he is quoted as saying.
