Veteran Coast-based singer Nyota Ndogo is beaming with joy after receiving an unexpected gift of KSh 100,000 from celebrated rapper Khaligraph Jones, popularly known as “The OG.”
A Surprise Gift
Nyota Ndogo, born Mwanaisha Abdalla, revealed that Khaligraph sent the money directly to her phone. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she shared the news online, writing in Kiswahili:
“Jamani jamani nimekaa hapa kazini mara gafla naskia ujumbe kwa simu. Nafungua simu yangu jumbe ujumbe kutoka M-PESA imetoka kwa nani? Kwa Khaligraph Jones. Hata nisiseme mengi… nimempigia kaniambia kunywa soda mama.. nimefeel appreciated. OG must be respected.”
Her post quickly went viral, with fans celebrating the rapper’s thoughtful gesture.
Why Khaligraph Sent the Money
Khaligraph’s generosity follows Nyota Ndogo’s consistent public support of him on social media. She has often praised his lyrical prowess and even suggested a collaboration between him and Tanzanian star Mbosso on a remix of the hit song Pawa.
Speaking about her influence in Tanzania, Nyota Ndogo shared:
“Kule Bongo nimefurahi kua radio za kule wameikumbatia tamko langu la Khaligraph Jones kufanya nyimbo Mbosso. Hadi sasa nimefanya mahojiano na radio kama tano… wameibeba vizuri sana. I love it.”
She added that Khaligraph’s growing presence in Tanzania has partly been boosted by her advocacy and praise.
Fans React
Fans filled the comment section with admiration for Khaligraph’s humility and generosity. Reactions included:
- “Indeed, he must be respected, oooh someone dashing you 100k in this economy… Must be given respect kabisa.”
- “OG giving almost everyone in the industry flowers while they’re still alive.”
- “Nyota Ndogo you are favoured dia… God, I need friends like Khaligraph.”
- “Respect Omolo and we are from Bondo.”
- “OG all the way #RespectTheOGs.”
Many agreed that Khaligraph’s move showed the importance of uplifting fellow artistes while they are still alive to feel appreciated.
Octopizzo Reignites Old Rivalry
Even as Khaligraph basked in praise, fellow rapper Octopizzo appeared to reignite their long-standing rivalry. He seemingly threw shade at Khaligraph by mocking his frequent preference for sweatpants, suggesting they were only suitable for home wear and not public appearances.
Despite the criticism, Khaligraph’s gesture to Nyota Ndogo only cemented his reputation as one of Kenya’s most respected rappers—both on and off the stage.
Conclusion
Khaligraph Jones’ surprise gift to Nyota Ndogo was more than just financial support—it was a gesture of respect, gratitude, and recognition. While rivalries in Kenyan hip-hop continue to make headlines, acts of kindness like this remind fans why the OG remains a celebrated figure in the industry.
