The ‘Utawezana’ singer expressed joy on Social Media writing “We won!!! Best Female Rapper In Africa. The first East African Female rapper to take it home, it’s such a big pat on the back for my team and I for all the work we’ve put in throughout the years.”

Adding, “consistency and patience had been key in her work and has finally paid off.”
