This election season, some artistes will make serious amounts of cash fronting political candidates.
One of them could have been Size 8 had she not turned down an offer from an unnamed top politician. The singer told the Standard's tabloid pullout, Pulse, "The plan was for me to attend ten political shows across the country during which I would be paid Sh200,000 each. The total amount would come to Kshs. 2 million, an awesome amount."
And then she explained why she refused the offer, "I had been watching clips from the 2007 post-election violence with chilling pictures of bloodshed. I recalled how Kenya burned down, stirred by political instigations. I hated imagining I would support a politician at the backdrop of all these. I said ‘no’ to the offer and decided to rally the youth towards a peace call."
Size 8 is one of the artistes from Wananchi Wasanii who have chosen not align themselves with any politicians and instead go around the country interacting with fans. Some artistes have already done tracks for politicians including Abbas and Bamboo's for TNA (check it out here), while others have performed during their rallies like Jaguar, Mejja and Kidis among others http://overallpullzone.ghafla.netdna-cdn.com/media/k2/items/cache/76338c5b13f9a1ab2751790f72174849_XL.jpg
