King Kaka: ‘I was a slave to money, now I’m living’

But fame comes with its shadow twin, which is shame. He almost lost everything when he tangled with death at one point and “my money can't save me.” He lost his appetite. lost weight. The king was naked. Now he leaves nothing to chance. “I laugh more. I watch more movies. 'I do what I want,' he says. 'I'm a genius.'” He clearly has no self-esteem.

It is fitting, then, that we conduct our interview against the backdrop of an outdoor crusade, as we see him born again, resurrected from the jaws of death – the Grim Reaper, after all, not known for his penchant for money, but for souls.

I have a unique eye. I see things differently and I always do. This ability has served me well in my career, allowing me to explore many opportunities.

Working with purpose and crafting with intention. It's about turning what's in your head into reality. This is wise. right? (chuckle).

This poverty is a great motivator. When you lack, you have all the time to think about the things you don't have. This motivated me. I would like to pay tribute to my enthusiasm and vision, but the main reason is poverty. I lacked it so I wanted to conquer the world.

It may be a cliche, but Eliud Kipchoge's famous quote “No man is limited” resonates with me, it has become my life's motto. With vision you find a purpose to face the future. It's all about what you want for yourself.

For example, yesterday I went to bed at 4am, woke up at 7am, and was on set at 8:30am. I've been filming all day and now I'm in the studio. I have two more meetings to attend, which means I'll be home around midnight. It's all about what you want for yourself.

Haha! I am escaping poverty, not only a lack of financial resources, but also a state of mind. I believe in continuous development. I am almost 40 years old. I've lived through VCRs, cassette tapes, CDs, DVDs, VCDs, flash drives, and streaming platforms. I have witnessed this kind of development. The question is: What obstacles do you face in Lego towards development, in whatever field you choose?

Money is a tool to achieve dreams. It helps implement ideas and better prepares you for opportunities. There were times I had crazy ideas, but I didn't have the money, so it seemed impossible. Now that I have money, when I have a dream, I go into one of my accounts and do it. I will set up an initial budget, and by the time I reach out to potential partners, I already have a base. My strategy is to always enter the room more prepared than the previous person or the next person.

Yes, but balance is key. My health scare taught me (over the course of four months of hospitalization) to appreciate life more, work less, and enjoy time with my loved ones. I was a crazy workaholic, and now I don't work Mondays and Thursdays. I was a slave to money but I realized it was never enough. Now I hang out, go on road trips, and travel. This year, I will be taking two vacations; One in Rwanda and the other in the United States. When she entered the hospital, she realized that no matter how much money she had, it was nothing. I couldn't walk or eat, but I had money. And he can't help me. Now I live.

It's the experience of loving and spending time with those who matter. I'm intentional with family and friends. I spend my time with my wife and children and shoot movies with friends.

(Stops). Genuine care, loyalty and desire for the best for each other. You don't even have to say that.

In geography, there was a unit that talked about contour lines. My first environment is God, then family, and colleagues. I place people in different levels of importance based on the love they show me. Nameless (Kenyan pop artist) is my mentor, we meet and discuss family and business and I learn a lot from him.

Movies, travel and exploring new places. I love long trips and discovering the world.

America, Estonia, London and Sandton in South Africa.

A few years ago, I started to doubt myself. Things didn't seem to be going well for me, and even people in the industry reached out to me. Then a French alcohol company contacted me and asked to work with me. I don't drink but that didn't put them off. This event reinforced my belief that everything you have in your head only gets done because someone is watching you. I don't hold back when it comes to dreaming.

happiness. Every child has their own path, and I want to support them in finding it.

The importance of presence. My kids have a say in what I do.

We have a special morning prayer and I hope they pass it on to their children. I walk around with each of them individually to see how they are doing. I teach them the value of money. I learned this from my mother. She used to sell fruits, and I used to help her count her money.

With more dynamism and awareness of modern challenges such as social media. I focus on their happiness and ability to adapt.

The spirit of carefree and simple games. We used to play games like… dova mbararo, And sweets – games. Childhood was devoid of anxiety. Now you have to be mathematical.

I stay consistent and enjoy life without letting fame get to my head.

I've learned to stop asking for external validation. Happiness comes from within. You don't have to ask anyone for verification. You can't please the world. Appreciate yourself.

I'm partially deaf, and my left arm is shaking.

Yes I hear everything, haha! I protect my hearing at all costs.

My mother has lupus. She is my best friend and raised us after my father died when I was in seventh grade.

It's made me more intentional. I had no clue, so I focused on the basics and what was right and wrong.

Every struggle was worth it. Mistakes taught me hard lessons.

I never give up and work towards achieving my dreams. Expanding my love and resources to others.

I collect the alcohol I don't drink and snowballs.

Chapo boxing (Chapati with beans) and Local chicken.

I love stand-up comedy and documentaries. My favorite comedian, Njogosh, always annoys me.

You can do anything. Dream big and don't be afraid to work towards it.

I was in the ghetto today talking to a few guys and I can tell they are not ready to make a paradigm shift. If I had the same mentality I would still be in Jericho and Kaloleni, just getting chills. Dream, don't be afraid. Now I shoot movies and go to Hollywood to attend classes. This is just a kid from Jericho saying if you dream you open up more dreams to possibilities.

You are living the dream. Seems impossible.
