What did Rayvanny's parody account post?
According to the since-deleted post, the police officers were accused of trying to shoot after being denied a bribe.
"While in Nairobi, some people with a vehicle attacked us and tried to shoot us for no reason because they wanted money. The vehicle number plate is.... We later discovered that they were policemen from somewhere called Kabete Police Station. So be careful with that vehicle and be safe. Thank you," read the post.

Is Rayvanny on Facebook?
In response, Rayvanny denied being the owner of the Facebook page, which has over 3 million followers.
He warned a Kenyan entertainment news Instagram page against disseminating the information.
"Please don't you my image in fake stories. That's not me. That's a fake account, and I am not on Facebook," he clarified.
Here is how Kenyans reacted to the post:
"This Guy is Very Creative 😂 Even the email address used, he has added one number at the end to bring confusion. Mpaka ameverify account. If you are not keen enough! Welcome to Nairobi, Karibu Kenya."

"I love how people think not using Facebook is classy and being intelligent. FB has been there for the longest."

"Iyo fb page inakuanga ya mkenya 😢watu wa Facebook never learn."
Did Rayvanny differ from Willy Paul?
As previously reported, Rayvanny has responded to Willy Paul following the latter's dismissal of their hit song collaboration Mmmh.
During a highly controversial performance at Furaha City concert in December, Willy Paul dismissed their song as trash.
In response, Rayvanny clapped back at the Sitolia hitmaker during a recent performance.
During the concert, the DJ unexpectedly played Mmmh while Willy Paul was involved in a backstage standoff over his position in the lineup.
As the crowd chanted Willy Paul’s name, Rayvanny encouraged him to take the stage.
When Willy Paul eventually appeared, he dismissed the song, telling the DJ to pick another song.
At the time, Rayvanny let the comment slide, responding on social media with a lighthearted comment.
Why did Andrew Kibe criticise Willy Paul?
In other news, Kibe criticised the singer for his alleged misbehaviour at the Furaha City Festival.
The social media personality expressed disappointment in Willy Paul, arguing that his actions disrespected Diamond Platnumz, a guest in Kenya for the highly publicised event.
He urged Willy Paul to apologise to Diamond, emphasising the importance of respecting visitors.
Kibe added that Willy Paul should have allowed Diamond to perform even if it meant giving up his slot because of time constraints.
