Octopizzo is representing hip hop both as a mainstream artiste and literally which is something he has managed to do consistently over the years without any provocation whatsoever.
It’s safe to say Octopizzo is bent on making sure that the Kenyan hip hop scene is well represented in numerous boardrooms across the country which, in hindsight, is something that he started together with Juliani years ago.
Octopizzo is “minting” money from all the endorsements he’s getting thanks to his influence, consistency, hard work, and representing hip hop in the streets as much as he represents it mainstream.
At the moment, he has two lucrative deals that the general public knows: Tecno mobile and Hennessy. These are the only ones that we know without mentioning the ones that are already in the pipeline.
For the sake of this article, we’ll focus on his deal with Hennessy, if you missed out on his deal with Tecno mobile, be sure to read it right here.
How much Hennessy paid Octopizzo
One of our writers reached out to Octopizzo to ask him about his deal with Hennessy to see if there’s some light he can shed on his hush-hush deal with the international brand.
The humble Octopizzo who has nothing to prove to his stans, himself, and/or his haters politely declined to share the monetary compensation he got from working with Hennessy but what he told us is that it is a good deal that might blow some people’s minds away when he happens to disclose the amount he’s getting paid to be the face of the brand, which of course he cannot because he’s a man of principle.
“Unfortunately I don’t give any information on my deals, they are classified,” Octopizzo told Biggest Kaka exclusively.

Who knew hip hop would take it this far?
What Octopizzo made clear however is that it is a lucrative deal even though he cannot disclose the information around the deal.
This deal makes Octopizzo the first prolific mainstream rapper who got to sign a lucrative deal with one of the few brands that usually get free advertising from rappers all over the world with rappers like Tupac, Drake, and Lil Wayne having written rhymes and verses about the cognac.
Octopizzo came into the music industry with a business mindset and zeal plus a laser-sharp focus on winning and that’s one of the many reasons why he stood out from the rest of other rappers right from the jump.
Octopizzo had given himself a few years to succeed in the music industry, he had a plan b if this music industry wouldn’t work, now that’s a man with a tunnel vision of what he wants in life. Thankfully, he succeeded in the music industry and helped shape the industry coming up with authenticity that nobody could say no to he took sheng rapping mainstream when it wasn’t favorable to do that which was a bold move on his part if you ask a lot of people, himself included.
It is in the same breath that he’s slowly but steadily conquering the commercial side of the business with all these deals that he’s landing from international brands which are usually thorough in choosing celebrities that they intend to work with.
In the corporate realm in Kenya, almost everybody there loves to work with Octopizzo because he always delivers on the task given and almost always surpasses their set expectations for him.
There’s a high probable chance this lucrative deal between Hennessy and Octopizzo will stand the hand of time since he’s already started making people excited about the brand already.
With hip hop, anything is possible, ask Pizzo Deh!
