If there was a good year for Kenyan rappers and entertainers in the Kenyan entertainment industry that made them win and secure the bag, I am certain 2018 is that year.
Rappers have been landing endorsement left, right, center, top and below with the biggest brands you can ever think of.
For Instance, Khaligraph Jones has a deal with brand vodka, Eristoff Vodka which ideally originated from Georgia, unconfirmed deal with Red Bull, and a deal with Luc Belaire.
On the other hand, King Kaka who is currently in America for his talk alongside Bill Gates and his wife, Melinda Gates recently landed a lucrative deal with Remy Martin as a brand ambassador and to top all that, he is also an advocate for UNICEF Kenya.
Now, Octopizzo and Fena Gitu also join the bandwagon as brand ambassadors and the new faces for Smirnoff Kenya.
“We introduce you to the official Kenya brand ambassadors for Smirnoff Fena Gitu and Octopizzo. Welcome to the Smirnoff family! A toast to the dope times ahead of us. #SmirnoffMixExperience” a few hours back, Smirnoff Kenya confirmed all these via their official Twitter account.
This just comes a few days after Octopizzo opened up about his partnership deal with Hashi Energy Limited and Vivo Energy Kenya to bring forth the ‘Oliel’ gas cylinders the name dubbed after his latest release record.
” Ladies and Gentlemen Say Hello to the NEW Smirnoff Mix Brand Ambassador, Mr. 🌹 P A P I C H U L O 🌹 #HappyNewYear 🦅 it’s about that time them party’s start to Getting Lit for Real!🔥 #smirnoffmixexperience. And we officially begin this Saturday Danka Mtwapa, Katawaka Sana Bana!!” Octopizzo posted on the gram as the first statement after securing the bag with Smirnoff Kenya.
Fena Gitu who also has other brands behind her like Marini Naturals and Denri Africa representing them as the brand ambassador is also ecstatic to be the face and the brand ambassador for Smirnoff Kenya.
