Kenyan-American rapper KayCyy Pluto(born Mark Makora Mbogo) has received a special shout-out from Nicky Minaj.
The superstar femcee was full of praise for KayCyy’s contribution to Fivio Foreign’s debut album B.I.B.L.E. KayCyy is featured in two songs, ‘On God’ and ‘Hello’.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Nicki Minaj picked out the two songs alongside ‘For Nothin’, and ‘Changed on Me’ as her favorite tracks on the album.
“This Fivio Foreign album rlly hitting the matha**n spot. Soooo SOLID. Sonically authenitc & well thought out. Cohesive body of work with a signature sound that is very true to where he’s from,” she wrote.
Nicki Minaj added: “Kayccy is [fire] on both of his songs.”
The special mention from Nicky Minaj comes barely a week after KayCyy was honored by The Grammys for his penmanship on “Hurricane” by Ye(Kanye West) feat. Lil Baby, The Weeknd – for the Best Melodic Rap Performance.

In 2018, he became the first Kenyan to appear on the US Billboard Top 5 Charts after being sampled on Kanye West’s album, ‘Yikes’.
