Just recently, veteran Kenyan rapper who is currently based in the US, Hubert Mbuku Nakitare famously known as Nonini, AKA Mgenge True, AKA Godfather of Genge, opened up on how he shares a strained relationship with his biological father.
Nonini who was speaking during an interview on Mwafrika’s Iko Nini podcast disclosed that his father has been missing from his life for the better part of the 41 years he has been alive on earth.
According to Nonini, he was teased for being a rich kid when he debuted his music career, despite his biological father missing in his life.
The rapper went ahead to reveal that his father was there for his elder siblings but for him, he was conspicuously absent from his life.
But who is this well-known rich politician?
Well, Nonini’s biological father is a veteran politician from Western Kenya, particularly from Trans-Nzioa County.
Nonini’s father, Captain Davies Wafula Nakitare, served as Saboti Member of Parliament from 2003 to 2007.
Nakitare won the seat following the death of former Vice President Kijana Wamalwa. He ran on a Narc-Kenya ticket and won in the ensuing by-election.
Nakitare served for one term before he was ousted during the 2007 elections by the current Democratic Action Party of Kenya (DAP) party leader Eugene Wamalwa, who won on a PNU ticket.
In 2013, Nakitare unsuccessfully vied for the Trans-Nzoia senatorial seat on a Ford Kenya ticket.
In 2015, he resigned from Ford Kenya and joined the Musalia Mudavadi-led Amani National Congress (ANC) party.
He tried to make a comeback in 2017 as an MP but was floored by the current Saboti MP Caleb Amisi of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).
In 2022, he also unsuccessfully tried to unseat Caleb Amisi of ODM, who retained his seat.
Nonini speculated that his elder sisters and brother could be communicating with their father but for him, he stressed that he doesn’t give a damn.
