Kenyan rapper KRG The Don has captured the attention of social media users after a video of him speaking fluent Luganda surfaced online. The clip, shared by Caramel TV on TikTok on August 17, 2026, features KRG delivering remarks entirely in the Ugandan language, surprising many fans.

In the interview, KRG discussed the limited recognition Ugandan artists receive when they visit Nairobi, stating: "Now, if you take a Ugandan artist and bring them to Nairobi, they could walk around without anyone asking who they are or noticing them."

This bold statement sparked debate, but the main focus remained on KRG’s unexpected language skills. Commenters expressed amazement at how comfortably the Kenyan rapper switched to Luganda, a language not commonly spoken in Kenya.
