Ng’ang’a’s Advice to Gen Z Regarding His Popular Track ‘Zakayo’

Apostle James Ng’ang’a has cautioned Gen Z against misinterpreting his song about Zakayo, clarifying that it references the biblical figure, not someone else. He stated, “I’ve heard Gen Z singing my songs. I didn’t mean the Zakayo you’re thinking of. I released that song almost 18 years ago.”

This comment follows recent protests by Gen Z in Kenya to voice their opposition to the proposed 2024 Finance Bill. Many Kenyans found the lyrics of “Shuka Zakayo” entertaining, appreciating Ng’ang’a’s creativity and its relevance to current events in the country. The term has also been used as a criticism aimed at President William Ruto for his plans to raise taxes significantly.

Some lyrics from the song include: “Why are you troubled? Jesus has paid your debt. Come down, Zakayo, from the tree; today I will eat at your house.”

Ng’ang’a mentioned that the song’s relevance was unintentional and that he did not intend to convey the meaning some people have suggested. He has released a total of seven songs that have reached a broad audience, stating, “I have an album with seven songs. I sing often. But I thank God if it’s the right time for something to happen.”

During a recent performance, he engaged with a crowd that included many Gen Z members, who showed great enthusiasm for the song.
