Veteran musician Jackson Makini, widely known as Prezzo, has accused musician-turned-activist Kasmuel McOure of seeking attention amid his newfound fame.
Kasmuel has been leading anti-government protests and is seen by many as the voice of Gen Z.
He has been making the rounds on various media outlets, discussing his life journey since gaining fame.
Why Prezzo is unsure of Kasmuel McOure’s intentions
The influencer has narrowly avoided several arrests during protests against William Ruto’s government.
However, a recent clip of Prezzo criticizing him as a clout chaser has generated a range of responses on social media. Prezzo remarked,
“He is just a clout chaser. Anyone with a clear mind can see through him and his antics. He’s merely seeking attention.”
Netizens react to Prezzo’s sentiments
Prezzo’s comments have ignited a heated debate, with reactions split between support and criticism. Some users defended Prezzo’s stance, while others accused him of undermining Kasmuel’s achievements. Here are a few social media reactions:
- @Nyuka_Bel commented: “This is how enslaved blacks viewed their liberators. They preferred their suffering to the distant promise of freedom.”
- @PaulNdunda4 stated: “He hasn’t said anything of substance.”
- @ThomasHallu1 said: “These are wealthy individuals hurling baseless accusations, driven only by their emotions.”
- @William_Omosh observed: “I admire Kasmuel, but it’s true that political movements often attract opportunists who exploit people’s hopes. They claim to be pro-people but change once they gain power.”
- @eastleighpundit argued: “Only God knows Kasmuel’s true intentions, but Prezzo is definitely the one chasing clout here.”
- @franko_Ymg remarked: “People still listen to Prezzo? The guy is irrelevant, like that podcast.”
- @filah_tuju accused: “What you’re feeling is called jealousy.”
- @FaridM48137 asked: “Where was Prezzo when people were protesting, and who does he think he is to criticize?”
Why Kasmuel wears suits only
The activist recently shared that he used to have poor fashion sense as a child, which motivated him to promise himself that he would dress better once he achieved financial success.
He confessed that he now either wears suits or goes without clothes entirely, with no middle ground in his wardrobe.
Many netizens praised his sharp appearance and articulate speech, suggesting that he could be a strong presidential candidate in the future.
