‘The obvious exclusion of Kenyans on the Lion King Soundtrack is Depressing’ – Victoria Kimani calls out Beyonce

Earlier today, Beyonce unveiled the tracklist of her new album, The Lion King: The Gift, which is the musical accompaniment to the new Disney movie.

The album features six Nigerian popstars including include Yemi Alade, Burna Boy, Mr Eazi, Tekno, Wizkid, Tiwa Savage as well as Ghana’s Shatta Wale.

Now, Kenyan singer, Victoria Kimani says, ‘as much as we celebrate with our fellow Africans. The obvious exclusion of Kenyans/East Africans on this Soundtrack is depressing. The movie was based on Kenya’.

Ya’lll coulda atleast had Lupita or Barack on the outro 🇰🇪 since we don’t have artists in East Africa 😱
