Appreciating the warm reception, he joked that he should have visited sooner. He also took a swipe at artistes who align too closely with political agendas.
He emphasised that musicians should focus on their craft, not propaganda, saying their role is to entertain and bring comfort through music.
Despite being thousands of kilometres away, Gachagua’s calls for the ousting of Ruto after his first term in office persist.
A video shared on Instagram showed Dorea Chege’s husband, DJ Dibul, calling Gachagua during a performance in Kenya.
“Okay, guys, chill for a moment so he can say hi,” Dibul told the revellers, calling for calm.
He then placed his phone on the microphone.
“Hi, cousins,” Gachagua said, and the crowd loudly responded.
What did Gachagua tell partygoers?
Gachagua continued by saying:
“I am in America, and over here they are saying it’s wantam. What do you guys say?” he asked.
They responded in unison with "wantam," a loose translation of one term. They repeated it numerous times at Gachagua’s request.
“I love you guys so much. I flew out looking for fellow cousins. Will you guard the country?” he asked.
The Democracy for the Citizens Party founder urged them to take care of the country in his absence and thanked them for giving him an audience.
Social media users were amused by the video and reacted by saying:
