May our brother beat this case, he is innocent.


Alleged case from 2010, how is this possible?

 

[queasyian]

Incident was in 2010. In no way do I blame victims or excsue him if this is true, but why is it with all these cases against the famous, the victims report it always after 5-10 years ? Knaan isn’t part of a Mafia that can silence you too.

 

[00Scoe]

Not the breh man

This still get's play by me.

Free da guys!! - If this brother is truly innocent.

If it comes out the chick is lying she should be forced to do whatever time they would have given him.

Imao any accusation on a somali person is a lie, no matter how true It is.

it will always make me laugh how people would die for their countrymen even if they were guilty AF.

So our famous laamo caato luugo has got himself into trouble huh.

A part if me doesn’t want to believe it since K’naan just looks too miskeen and harmless, but there also seems to be a huge link between fame, entitlement and men thinking they deserve access to every woman. 2010 was also when he was very famous and on a high. It was also around that time period he divorced his wife. He probably wanted to explore his new ‘options’.

Let’s see what more info comes out.

I remember him since soo baax days, but he wasn’t that famous at all and that was around 2005. He become famous in 2009 times. Thats when he was everywhere and that’s when he conveniently got a divorce lol.

Luugo baasto tasted fame although tbh you never know what has happened behind closed doors, it could have been a myriad of reasons but what’s obvious is that fame does cause friction in a relationship.

It allegedly happened inside a hotel room, not at the concert. He's also demanding his trial be held in English; why not accept translation? I suspect it's because people say Frenchies are xenophobic.

 

[ATLbound]

Yeah we’re cooked

 

[Idilinaa]

Is that actually his ex wife??

No here are his wife and kids. It's pretty old picture that was shared on some gossip site.

[Angelina]

LOOOOOL.

The RadFems have found him. It’s over.

 

[Idilinaa]

He actually didn't sing about being a refugee much, he sang about his homeland a lot and other times he fused afro-carribbean sounds with Somali and Ethiopian sounds. Others were poetic messaging.

There is a few songs he made that was literal translations of Somali children's songs and folk songs. The chorus in ABC is literally a children song my mom heard a lot growing up in Somalia, she told me after first hearing it.


But yeah you can tell from the very start that , he did not seek fame and but sought music as an outlet for his artistic self expression. When people pressured him into celebrityhood and he caved , he retired soon after feeling that he betrayed himself and moved away from the limelight.

Before all of that K'naan was content with the niche audience he had built up and the local venues he used to perform in. He certainly wasn't a social justice activist.
