A Luhya man who has gone viral on social media for his rapping skills has caught the attention of one of the leading betting firms in the country Odibets.

The man, popularly known as Akhasamba Lukale and raps in Luhya, ignited a debate with netizens hailing his rapping skills.

Kenyans wasted no time in helping Odibets land the rapper and in no time, the betting firm reached out to him.

In the advert, he was urging gamblers to bet with Odibets to beat the infamous ‘Njanuary’ after the festive season.

"Tulikuwa na holiday na tukapiga sherehe, tukasherehekea tukifikiria ndio mwisho wa dunia, tukasema vunja mifupa, mambo ya kesho tutafikiria kesho. Tulichinja kuku tukachoma mbuzi siku nzima tulishinda tukiwa tumelewa. Sasa ni mwaka mpya, vitu vipya na Niko msoto. Sasa January Sina Cha kukula mtoto mluhya Odinari wameleta nini? hallelujah, wameleta mpango,pata pesa Jamani, piga njanuary na Odibet, wekelea bet ushinde Hadi Thao ya kuskuma January," he raps in the video.  

In addition, Odbets will also sponsor Mr. Lukale as he launches his EP album this year.
