The house has taken almost two years to build, and can be attribute to the rapper’s keen eye for detail. He does not spare any expense in pursuit of his dream home which he funds through his businesses and music.
Khaligraph owns a car business and among those vehicles are high end vehicles, that see him raking in cash.
His motivation behind the construction of the mansion stems from his humble beginnings, as there was a time when he was homeless as was being housed by a friend.
“Najisukuma, I’m striving to have one of the best just to show the people that this thing is possible because 10 years ago, I didn’t have a place to call home. Mimi nilikuwa naishi Dandora being housed by someone na nilikuwa nalala kwa kiti. So my mansion is to show people that nothing is impossible,” he said in a past interview.
As the mansion nears completion, Khaligraph has promised an epic music comeback as he attributes his hiatus to a shift in priorities to see the construction through.
“My 2 year Hiatus coming to an end Soon, I haven’t been as active in the music field as I like to be but some things had to be done, soon enough it will all be clear,” he assured his fans.
