Rapper Wangechi criticizes Christianity , says it’s a scam!

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Rapper Wangechi who is popularly known for hit song sana sana featuring Scar Mkadinali; among others songs has been keeping a low profile for years now.

Probably because Wangechi needed sometime off the media; following the trauma she suffered after a tragic accident that saw her lose best friend – Tiona Wangechi.

Since then, rapper Wangechi changed and unlike her old self – she now prefers to stay off the raider; a move that seen her music career slowly fade away.

For some reason others expected her to jump into music; but this time around as a gospel industry rapper but unfortunately; it appears that the accident not only affected her music but also her faith; speaking about the gospel industry a while back – Ms Wangechi said;

Some people were also expecting me to do a ‘Kanye West’ and get back to music recording while I was injured so they could feel me through the pain. I just have my own plans I have things I want to do for myself first. And no offense but I find everything in the gospel industry fake

Scam

Well, despite the many years since the accident it appears that Ms Wangechi faith never changed. She proved this in a recent tweet where the lady bashed the Christian community saying;

Christianity/being born again really is the best PR in these streets

Not quite sure why the lass feels this way; but hey – it’s her choice and yes, she has all freedom to critic whichever religion she pleases.

Rapper Wangechi has been off the radar for a couple of months but she’s now back — of course with a new hit — and, if you play your cards right, she just might become yours and you’ll spend the rest of your lives together, not bothered where she’s disappeared to. If you get enough retweets that is.

The rapper, while launching her new track  “Used to it” spoke of a recent, unexpected date she had with a random stranger who asked for social media’s help to win a date with her.

“He asked me how many retweets it takes to go on a date, so when it happened I woke up to find 567 tweets. He paid for the date, it was very nice. It was a very nice date,” she said in a Kiss FM radio interview. 

Asked whether there might be a second date, she replied: “I think so! we will talk.” 

Long hiatus

Wangechi also explained why she has been away for months saying it’s not a decision she consciously came to but was led there by career decisions.

“I went independent, that time has been about getting back on my feet figuring things all by myself’,” she said. “It’s not something that I had predicted happening. I joined music when i was just 19 years old and so later I wanted to start and do things on my own. When you take control of your life is when you realize your full power.”
