In a video posted on Hitz FM’s Instagram, KOKA expressed regret over criticizing King Paluta’s singing voice in the song Makoma, describing it as ‘useless’ and ‘nonsense’.
He clarified that his intention was solely to offer advice to the musician and not to offend him or his artistic abilities.
In a twist of events, KOKA has reiterated his stance and added that he was the one who made the song a hit after he bitterly criticized the singer, thus leading to the huge numbers and success of the song.
He insisted that his criticism of the song has helped it reach a higher height and created a buzz and awareness about the song.

“I’m not saying radio stations shouldn’t play his songs. In fact, someone called me to say, ‘Thank you because you are the reason I listened to this song.’ Before our conversation, he had around 800 hits, but now he’s over a million. Check his streams on digital platforms; they have doubled” he explained.
He further indicated that he was the one who made the song successful, since his comments drew people of all walks of life to go and stream further culminating into a rise in streams for the “Ya hitte” crooner.
I was the one who made it happen. It was because of what I said that people paid attention to his songs. Tell me, who has had a conversation without playing the song? Because of the dislike for me, people are playing the song even more. If someone hating me will help this boy grow in the space and mature, then I welcome it.”
