KRG the Don is a Kenyan artiste and an entrepreneur par excellence. He has been dubbed as the richest musician in the country. He quickly rose to fame after releasing back to back hits. His song Mathogothanio featuring Boondocks and DJ Lyta became a hit garnering over 3 million views on YouTube.
Age
He was born on 14th January 1991.
Wife
The dancehall artist claimed he divorced his wife because she had gotten into the habit of associating with poor people.
“She loved moving around with low-life and people who added no value to her life. People I can only liken to chokoras,” he said.
KRG went on to say that he had opened several business for his wife but she floundered.
“She has had businesses but she is not business oriented. Even if you open a business for her, it fails because she lacks big dreams. She had no bills to foot, hence assumed a comfort zone,” he added.
