Friday, August 15,
2025 - Veteran Kenyan genge rapper, Paul Julius Nunda, better known as Jua
Cali, has broken his silence after some netizens compared his recent appearance
to Jamaican star Vybz Kartel’s battle with Graves’ disease.
The Kiasi hitmaker’s latest video appearance stirred online
chatter after fans noticed a puffier face and fuller physique.
Social media users quickly drew parallels to Vybz Kartel, who
has publicly battled the autoimmune condition, with some cheekily dubbing Jua
Cali “Kenya’s Vybz Kartel.”
Graves’ disease can cause swelling, especially around the
eyes, as the immune system attacks surrounding tissues and muscles.
Responding to the speculation, Jua Cali dismissed the
rumours, attributing the changes to natural aging.
“Niko 45 jamaa, nipeleke pole pole (I’m 45 years, be
easy on me guys),” he said, assuring fans that he is in good health.
