In a candid episode of the Obinna Show Live, Kenyan music sensation Masauti joined host Oga Obinna for a live chat that revealed his enigmatic persona. From coastal witchcraft lore to spilling on his creative battles and dream collaborations, Masauti’s appearance was pure vibes.
Mombasa Witchcraft Myths
“Mimi kama kuna uchawu sijui hata mimi husikia tu,” he quipped, translating roughly to “If there’s witchcraft, I don’t know it I just hear about it like everyone else.” His light-hearted dismissal had Oga Obinna in stitches, turning what could have been a spooky segment into a relatable urban legend.
Shutting Down the ‘Laziest Musician’ Label
When the conversation turned to fellow entertainer Jalango’s cheeky jab calling Masauti the “most talented but laziest musician” in the game the artist fired back with zero hesitation. “Mimi si mvivu apana,” he declared emphatically, meaning “I’m not lazy at all.” Masauti painted a picture of his relentless grind behind the scenes, hinting at late nights that fuel his discography. It was a feel-good moment for fans who’ve long championed his smooth flows and infectious hooks.
The Birth of “Assurance”
Delving into his creative process, Masauti opened up about the making of his latest banger, Assurance. “Assurance iliniumiza akili sana watu wanaipenda. Hawaijui bado lakini nikiimba watu wanavibe,” he shared. The track, a blend of Afrobeat and introspection, apparently pushed him to his mental limits during production.
Collaboration Chemistry
Masauti’s track record for killer features is legendary, and he dished on how he picks his partners in rhyme. “Nikifeel kwamba wait hapo tunakuweka. Si ati nachoose mtu fulani,” he explained, translating to “If I feel like this guy’s got it, we lock it in. It’s not like I pick a specific person.” It’s all about that instinctive spark, he emphasized no egos, just elevation. When pressed on his all-time favorite, the list was short and sweet: “Nadia wa kwanza, Khaligraph. Sanasana Nadia.”
On Artist Styles
Masauti reflected on the spectrum of artists out there. “Mistari iko shallow but ngoma ni kali,” he said succinctly. It’s a pragmatic take: not every track needs Shakespearean depth to slap. In an industry obsessed with bars over everything, Masauti’s reminder hit home sometimes, it’s the groove that lingers longest, turning a simple hook into an anthem.
Heartfelt Tribute to Shalkido
The mood shifted to somber as Masauti weighed in on the tragic passing of rapper Shalkido, whose untimely death shook the kenyan community. Opening up raw, he revealed a personal connection: Shalkido had slid into his DMs just weeks prior, pitching a collab that Masauti was hyped for. “Shalkido also DM’d him for a collabo that he was looking forward to,” Obinna recapped, with Masauti nodding solemnly.
Bahati Bombshell
Ending on a high note of anticipation, Masauti dropped a cryptic hint about an upcoming project with gospel-turned-secular star Bahati. “Tuko na bonge la kompa,” he teased on the live show”
Masauti’s sit-down with Oga Obinna wasn’t just an interview it was a vibe check for the culture.
