Are Kenyan musicians getting enough royalties?
Rapper Khaligraph Jones says musicians are paid 'peanuts for royalties'.
The hashtag #MCSK is trending in Kenya after rapper Khaligraph Jones complained about the royalties he had received from the Music Copyright Society of Kenya. He said he had only been paid $25 by MCSK, describing the amount as “peanuts”. Many other musicians in Kenya have agreed with him, saying they also feel underpaid. We speak to Khaligraph Jones and hear from music fans around the country.
