 Welcome back, my good name is Selva Kidao. I'm sitting one of a kind exclusive interview with one and only superstar, hit maker, producer, brand himself maze kijana na uza kwenya billboard, kwa niko nini namzo kumziya butros, nini nini wuna checka, sasa. Hey, introduction here me. No, kwenya eh. No, kwenya eh. Eh? But yeah, appreciate you here, butros moleni aka Shafgod, hello. Shafgod? Yeah, yeah, thank you very much for having me guys, butros, yeah. How's this year going, man? So far, so good. I've had a really, very, very nice beginning of the year. Places in Makua and the things I've done. The projects I'm about to do. Interactions and I don't know, I don't know. Everything about karyangu, about imuaka, kwa fiti. So, yeah. That's when I dungadi short sale. So I knew I was going to be ready. Now, talking about your music, this year, I saw you performing out of this country, man. Were you on holiday? No, mostly a lot of the times I've been outside is because of performance. And the last one I was aware, the last one was Uganda. No, Seychelles. The last one was Seychelles. And they were like, hey, Seychelles. Uf, unafakwa nda umeyanda. Oh, you need to go. You need to go. The food is nice. If you like spice, if you like nice food. Yeah, the women come. Bro, it's so nice here. So I really appreciated to just be in that space or whatever. But it's not for sure. The curry is really nice because if I can get to go to places like those ones and perform. I don't know. For us, Uganda Tanzania was the place you could fathom. So, yeah. I don't know. I feel proud and obliged to do even more. Don't need to make a place even better than Kenyanimona so far. Have you imagined maybe seeing yourself performing? Leave Nairobi to go to London. You've got to Seychelles. You've got Uganda. And more places are coming up for you. I imagined. I dreamt of it. But actualization, I never thought until it happens. Yeah. Kusabu piyasanine, the doubt, the doubt inakwa inakwa taga drive flan. It gives you a certain type of... So, yeah. I never thought it would actually actualize to it. I dreamt of it knew that it would happen. Not new. Dreamt and imagined it would happen. Yeah, that's true. But... We knew it would happen. Until it happened. That's when I can confirm how shit is actually happening. Is there a place you're looking forward to perform? Is there a stage maybe? And a arena you're looking... This is a mask for me. If I perform on this space, then I've made it. If I... There's a lot of places like I can mention. There's the O2s. There's the... What do you call them? Madison Square or whatever. But for me, honestly, if I can fill up a stadium in Kenya in my own country, that would be an epitome for me. That means like, only 60,000 people are going to Kwa Shuiako. That would be crazy. Yeah, outside there, if it will happen, it will happen. But it wouldn't be of a greater impact than imagine filling up a stadium that has never happened. Maybe Kasadrani, as an artist, kababili mga bisha akira pastamiru alukona fanya, you know? That's for me. Nikijaza stadium oku. Then I'll know, I think, nita Joani Kosawa. Are there plans? Let me release this album first and then we'll see the first step how it's going to happen. Because I believe you have what it takes to fill the stadium. I do myself also because I kibori nae, kicha nae, minim super. I also have drip in our gaoles, songs on a panda. I have all the characters na semagaya kusaksi, but drive yangu ni drive yangu. So I think, I think nil about time too. I've done what I've done right now and ambition, ambition nga tapemi mwenye unishtua. What is ambition? Ambition. Kwanando mob Sita e adi steady teseka. But do I take oki kapu? Do you want to be a billionaire, maybe? Fikarn, yes. Do you want to tell your kids, do you want to have the love of my life? I must get to have family, I must do career. Fuck that shit bro. Ita hape, iso ni kama kusimati, nasman ni breathe, na man nasman ni oge. Iso ni witu ita happen. But what I want is what I want. I want you to attract and talk about how crazy seishi lakini kwa ni baka seishi kwa ni baka bigika yi. But that's what I want. Kwa ni kwa pa ni kufunanini. Niga kwa na domo biba. Niga kwa tu na tuliangangoma, tu ni kia uta mta nasi ni kwa jangizi performances. Ya domo bini kama gapi? One dollar. That's a rich air. That's a rich air. No, I mean, oki pata do flani uta kukusawa. In terms of how much do you need it? Do labasi. Do gani tato. Mi seisita sheka na do. Seisita sheka na do. Kusami uspen do biba ya. Wao, kwa na mimi? Mua ribudo. So seisita sheka. Are you financially displaying? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I do have my limits. I do have my, I don't know how. Do you know the way you plan here? Everyone has their own plan. Laki ni, mi ham careless is my, with my expenditures. I love it. That's why na kumbelas mani kwe. Na domo. And then seisikiata yuchungu. Take me through your monthly budget maybe roughly in terms of now groceries, shopping. Where do you spend most? Is it outfit? Is it your looks? Is it your hair? Or outfit here? Outfit bro. Outfit destroying me bro. I buy a lot of clothes. I have a lot of clothes. I have a lot of clothes. Crazy. Ya because do you know you can never wear clothes ati matambili. Na sakuna kwa foto. I am matching KOT. Ya u neseiva, neseiva batissuna. I can't copychama. I am saying batutu on the kana or whatever. So ya. So you have to keep on. Unongezia moin moin moin moin. Batikun clothes. Un clothes yes alafu. Anasa. Shere. Shere. Kwa wato to? Kaa. Ato to mimi ya. I do find a particular size. We share the range mimi. Wato try to figure a particular size mimi. What you try to find a particular size. Shere hangu. Shere hangu sinile, mwa ni ni nape nga ka kibaw. Kibaw, of course, comeza kawira. Shere hangu, yu shere muitimi yu shere sana. Shere kladi, na iwa na musici hangu. Musici kwa sana, I think, kata na the biggest. Nya titu kwa gii, ina hoga discipline. Maito nga meter kwa project. Ina kut big tiga gadi spine nga nda mtani kwa zona roll joint una relax. Una dose, una shake. Una shake TV, mwa mini. Mwa jambia laya kiya wongo saya tingi kwa li bia fajab tubo, but here. So ask you, you rather invest in your music first. You rather invest in your art. About your music and art, it means you work with, you know, even if it's paying collabo's, you know, looking good. Make sure you're standing out from the rest. Or rather buy a house and, you know, chill too. I can't tell, I can't speak on everyone because everyone has their own priorities or whatever. Canokram say, prioritize kini kupata roof of their head or whatever. But for me, I come and invest in myself na karei hangu. I think I have to put one into it. I know music and art, it's not a career. So at Sifai kupa tia mandatory nini inputia. Otaba kitu kupa gatu katu chini kutu. Because people are making a career out of it if they take it seriously. You treat this as the way a bank is treating you. Treat a business man as a business man. That's the way. So that's the same way. So where you invest to have it, you are coming for me. I'll invest, I'll invest in that one because it gives me, I've seen the fruits of my labor. Tell me more about your investments. Like, come music. In music. Any investment in land, you know, cars, properties, landlode maybe. The one I'm wearing right now, you know, I like fashion so much. I'm into like brands now. I say, so we've done this collaboration with people. So I keep on having brands outside. I love real estate. Back in love it. I'm not that big but I'll become big one day. I'll become really, really big. So yeah, I have my own ambitions aside from music. But music is my main reality if I was to choose here. If you are now being an artist right now, what could you be doing? I guess you'll never know, bro. So how am I supposed to even answer that? Because sometimes maybe environment amount to me or parents, maybe the expectors maybe to, you know, to do this, focus on this. If you want to be a share or a dupe, you can do it in a hardware. My mama told me, you know, we weren't, we didn't do anything. She didn't do anything. She didn't do anything. She didn't do anything. She didn't do anything. She didn't do anything. She didn't do anything. She didn't do anything. She didn't do anything. I'm saying inuliza, this is your time. If you are coming to a military or if you are going to be a musician, I would have been a musician. Bro, I guess you'll never know. Say me as a musician, can you not do say, you can't do say, you can't do say, you can't do say, you can't do say, you can't do say, you can't do say. So if I wasn't this, I'm pretty sure I'll still be this. You see, you can't do say, you can't do say, because this is what I'm doing right now. If it's another world, I think I'll choose the same, same, same thing over and over again. How was the music turning your life? I mean, I'm open, I'm open I'm open world here and knowledge because I mean, go to the school at Wangivitumob, places Flannis, Jaij, Joanezafika, minds are two different. So, me any build, crazy. Like I'm a different person from the boots from three years ago, not just because it was any abadjia mboka, amadjia kusabuina fanyana ka fere. Ya, imeni, imeni fanyan kwaingi ma basis crazy, so ya, go interact na watu na fukiria different na singa if kia unless ngekwa na fanyi, musica ma ngekwa inflechil na another way, ya, it's something really nice. You know, I know for sure you've sacrificed more to be where you are right now. Of course there are those lessons you've learned, mistakes you've made. If there's something you look back and say now, if I could have focus on this, ngekwa this version of myself. If I would have invested more. Ya, that is fucking true. Nge puti in a lot of more of priority kwa easy vitanya na do, kwa kamboka, kwa kwa do kwa crafti ango. Nge kwa showing kwa kwa bali sana. Kwa ni do lu kwa na investu api? Nge lu kwa na fanyavi to zingi, na hiki kwa kama sayi, you know what I'm saying? Grotu nge main letter di apa, but I did a lot of things that I'm pretty sure if I did what I'm doing right now. I would have been further away. Where do you see yourself in the next few now? Because you have what it takes to go to the next level. Stadium status, that's what I want. I really want that. Because if everyone else sees me as an international artist and they keep on telling me that, it's about time that I actually manifest. I'm crazy about this, this time I'm going to be at a stadium. I want to be in the next level. I want to be in the next level. I want to be in the next level. After apple solidify my name in the world, give out good music. That's it bro, and let everything else flow. Because I know everything will flow in the right way. Let's talk about your album coming up. Yes. The album tindo finally after my passion for long. Released the album, it's finally going to come out on the 12th of April. I'm going to be having a listening party very soon. I'll release the poster. So it's supposed to be on the 13th of April also. I'll release the dates and in and in. But I'm expecting a crazy feature from all around. That's what I'm aiming, I don't know what it means, but I want to feel the sound and sound of the album. So I've tried to make as many people, so many different types of sounds, to come to Kapa Moja and to make a Moja, to get a little shrap and sound out together to move to Moja. So, ya, I'm looking forward to even seeing how people react to it. I'm excited, I'm ready, hopefully I'll get an invite for the listening party. I appreciate that. Now, talking about sounds, genre, we know we have different genres. Kuna ganga piano, kuna abantun, kuna gangantun. Should we expect more from you on this? On what? These different sounds? I think I'll stick, I've never deviated from my sound ever. I think I'll stick to it. If I get a feature from any of the artists from any other type of genre, I'm always open, sinaga, biasness or whatever. I fucking love those kind of music. I love even abantun right now. I like your nostalgic feeling and pachaga always. But I'll stick to doing what I do always, what has got me here and what's taking me places. That's Shraab. As you look on the laser. Shraab? Shraab. Are you working currently with any abantun artists? Is there maybe a possibility for you jamming to an abantun? Very soon, very soon maybe you'll see something. I don't want to mention anything because nothing has been set on stone. But for sure, for sure. For me, especially, you know, I love Lil Miner. I love his music so badly. I love these kids like with their remixes. Niveles komo habisizi kipapnazo. But I love them bro. I love what they are doing. I love Mandy. So let me see, let me see what's going on. Mii sezi kata. Kama ni noma ni noma. Na kama nte inga nte inga na putin te ipa teflevele angu. Is it easy for you for artists to approach you for a collab? How does it work for you? Of course it's going to be hard kusabu. Unless you see me here today, I don't think you're going to see me again. You know, it's just going to be there. You know, there's just, we meet in certain places. Yeah, but I have a chair. You know, sometimes it's always good to, unless I'm talking to another artist. You know, just another artist that we have communication. You know what I'm saying? Apart from that, they have to use the official channels. You know, I have to act professionally. I have to manage, I have to say what and all. Kus also, I'm an intellectual property that is also handled by other people who have been wasted their life and they have things. Ono ko jia na monawa. Ome bankon from the brand Butros. So me, if I start just harlaring at everyone just because I want to be a good boy, it goes beyond the core value that we have to manage and I have to consider that. So the right channel is kwa gili ni kuwa, ni matara kuwam say that that's the procedure that's how it's supposed to be. Because if I'm doing that with big money, I should do that with small money also. A kufai kwa na difference. A kuna kasi na doga na kubu wakuli wangu. Yes, sir. Of course kuna walu ane chukule vibhaya kuna do raza mauna ringa. So I chukule vibhaya, so I chukule vibhaya kwa ni watu kwantas kososingizi. So I chukule vibhaya, but it's in me isema. I don't have to make you feel nice because of my opinion. My opinion is my opinion. If you don't like it, it's cool. I don't know kuna tunizana, I'm bare, I won't like it. Me acting up, ita change kitiaute and if it changes, how you're going to perceive your story. Amapeni utazakti ku change narrativia ko. I don't know kwa wik. Ita change narrativia ko. Kama upendu penish dako. But I told you, that's what it is. Kamu anta kwa do fichia. Pige manija. Kamu taki. Su tosu si pige. But don't tell me atis ji this I'm supposed to do. I'm feeling bad because bro, that's how I move. If you don't like it, just don't like it. Go and talk to. Go and call Rikiji. Go and call president to Ruto. Or maybe go and call a CEO. It doesn't happen because what? Because you know he's a CEO. So what? You have to view that in every person. Not like from the biggest person to the smallest person. We say kwa mbia kuna. He's in a value jacket and this is how they want to move. You either respect it or you just don't. Kwa nini bibi angurini. You can't change someone's perspective of how they move just because it doesn't fit your agenda. So yeah, that's for me. Kama upendu. I'm sorry. Has this ever happened to you maybe there was a time we were looking for a collab was any kwa kule tepe usta. Kuna kwa kumbi a letter ganji. Maramob. Maramob. Aki. Sini,nไป yama sema hiva. Sintakumane kama akemsen. Noma. Sintakumane kwa nomu ateku ja enpete fiche. Naka inpete fiche bade uta fanya. Naka inpete fiche bade uta fanya. Naka mia kita kfiche bade unta pate aksa. Pasakuna diferensia atu awili. Eza naka kumse mefighta mefighta against kilo time. And mata kata kuku amse diferent mekiningke wish, agen treat diferentio time. Naka kwakua. But sakikuwe easy. Kusakua na this is rising. Adjust to do as you will and see what happens to you. We try to make that sense. We want to limit the number of people who are being treated. We do as we want. So yeah... What is the music of Valies? I don't know. Many times in my life, I don't know. But this is not a case. Values have changed. So Values, I am not a singer. Ulezam sewa rumba vali ake, ulezam sewa traba vali ake, kila msa ta kamaiki to different, nukue li na ta kamaiki to different, lakini kila msa ni music, ni music bala, ina speak to different people, different ways Ako na kovali aki aki tiyote, wala kuna di mangama za kudinyana, kuna mangama badu zileza, kuhuana, kuna mangama za badu za love Ako na kovali, kuna kovali ga nisi ni meseji chuchu na pas Tutaji, mspundiau,ії areawa, y치 себе n고robia, ga lakini kila jowo katila po tujo ni k vaccination batiya rangini kila dito, Coordin wa bereί kwa ni mefika apa jini ni kuwanara ni nama 17 ni jinga yo kwa ni pata na mitu, muna pata na beli milikua, muna beli kitu pa mwaja umaisi kaka kitu ni tagaku maj kwa companies A company doesn't merge with a company that's not a company, it's just a company on paper they merge with a company ni nina leta kitu but it doesn't devalue that company kwa kia chana na ru di bwaja bagi tu beli kuwa sinio but what the build kutukapa ni na kuwa so if she's smart in that way because nojwa na kwa ni kuweli na finance na noma she's gonna handle our finance ya familiar to see wangu so you rather have your own finance I have my finance, she has a finance, we have a finance now I get it, what could be the reason maybe independence, independence I don't think relationship has to change has to change me, that's my view lakini staki ni ngeha kwa mangori yo kwa nojwa ni ambiyapa bibi hangu anza kudu leti hangu ori mama pole ni ni wintagwaja, I don't think relationship ni na baku change ambitions am say, ni tu neza kusuna na bibi hangu yes na nga lakini kuna vituya na takakudu na vituya na takakudu so what there is ifanya because of the finance achafanya kiki tiaka ni umbanya utu kwa, utu kwa pamoja utu ni etu, tika na siya bisita siya pamoja siya ni etu kali kwa na kampaniya kesa kwa na kampaniya keni lakiran, siya ni siya waka, mi siya tasi duki tu kwa kaziya ngun kupigatuma snap na ku unpromote ko online siya ni kwa na kampaniya kona kwa ni demi hangu sonto nambia demi hangu taku jihengi listari hangu ya music right now it has nothing to do with her it has no bond friends whatever tu na dinganya na patatuhi na fall in love or whatever then we build kila mtukana exit na build empire moja but kila mtukana strong oldia ke so, other than that me as we wind up na butrus ho, want you to talk to your fans to the girls they wanna kupenda sun now wa lai manze wa warafanya na kwa zana nga tu mangori no jk, a goriga ni tana ay manze Figure ni wataha hei jo ni tata off gado, Niko Allah kwa ni nojoga mili hongu ori na mangori na ma beaches ko zambai na apenda paya, I love them, I think I'm a lover boy Hapenda sana?
