Controversial city lawyer Donald Kipkorir on Tuesday made the outrageous claims on Twitter and Kenyans on Twitter did not waste any time before they savagely replied to him.
Kipkorir took to Twitter to announce that during his recent trip to Jamaica, he asked around and most people did not know of World acclaimed Reggae group Morgan Heritage and top songstress Alaine Laughton.
I was in Jamaica for one week & travelled across the country. I asked the drivers I used & waiters in the restaurants I visited if they knew Alaine or Morgan Heritage .. None of the Jamaicans I asked knew them … They are unknowns in Jamaica .. Kenya makes “stars” of non-stars.

He also concluded that Kenyans like making starts from non-stars who frequent the country. Kenyans on Twitter were appalled by the lawyer’s comments, telling him that his findings were wrong. When all hell broke loose he tried to defend himself with unsubstantiated facts and added that he travelled through various parts of Jamaica like Kingston and Montego Bay.
Morgan Heritage won a Grammy Award for the best Reggae album. I don't need to explain what a Grammy is. I know you are not stupid… It's only today you are trying to be😂😂😂 I guess you take jokes. Don't block me

So the deluded Donald Kipkorir thinks he’s more popular than Reggae Sensation Morgan Heritage because he can afford to travel to Jamaica? SMH

Donald Kipkorir's real intention is to let you know he has/had travelled. You know, he has that socialite ka-spirit. Lucky him he has money, else he'd be photoshopping himself like those Aim Global dudes. pic.twitter.com/ko1iw0foDj

The music group Morgan Heritage are the children of the legendary Jamaican musician Denroy Morgan. The Group was founded in 1994 and is made up of siblings Peter Morgan, Una Morgan, Roy Morgan, Nakhamyah Morgan, and Memmalatel Morgan are popular among Kenyan reggae lovers for their hit songs. In 2016 their album ‘Strictly Roots’ won a Grammy for the Best Reggae album and in 2018 their album ‘Avrakedabra’ was nominated for a Grammy. The current members of the group Peetah, Gramps and Mojo Morgan are currently on the Loyalty tour ahead of the release of their new album.
Singer Alaine, on the other hand, is also a force to reckon with. The 40-year-old has been in the country for over a decade, she quit her banking job to become a full-time musician. She is known for hits like No Ordinary Love, Sacrifice, Rise In Love and You Give Me Hope. She has done collabos with Kenyan artistes such as Willy paul and Wyre.
