K'naan, musician and writer, at the 2022 Hilton Humanitarian Symposium and Prize Ceremony themed “The Power of Perseverance,” at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California on October 21, 2022.
One of the most underappreciated artists and poets to grace our generation. Even if he never releases a new project, his music will always stick with me and remind me of all the lessons on history and life in general that I learned along the way. Was so wonderful to hear him after so long, felt like reuniting with an old friend. Bless you Knaan Warasame, you legend!!
k,naan He is allweys proud where is coming from. and he Is Always teling the world 🌎 his people. 🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴. my brother we are proud of you keep going. forever forword
K'naan, uhhhhh, I cannot believe you are changed in appearance, ohhhh, so much love for you brother. are you working on new songs? it's been a while. My favorite song of yours is Fatima
Qudha'a tree people, real free people... that was an amazing description of my nation. The nation of wonders and misfortune, the nation of Qadhaadh iyo Macaac.. bittersweet Nation.
Islam was revealed to address the issue of tribalism an prejudice against communities. You can check the last sermon of prophet Muhammed P.B.U.H( حجة الوداع). Am not denying there’s an element of tribalism but calling “ Islam is 100% tribalism” that’s very dangerous and deeply rooted prejudice.
I got my youtube account after hearing K’Naan for the first time. He’s the same age as my son, but I introduced my son to K’Naan, and then after that it was my son who took me to K’Naan’s concert in Stanley Park BC back in the day when I was still a younger old woman. Now I’m almost 70, waking up suddenly in the wee hours remembering about K’Naan, because of my son, who reminded me earlier in the day of today that we didn’t always know what we now know as the truth about the lies we’ve been told. We realize now because when you hear it, you feel it, the way K’Naan stayed true. How could he not after all he went through. In Somalia. And everywhere where the west still goes around lying about what it’s doing including in the west, where we’ve been lied to for so long that we turned into liars too. But not K’Naan. He stayed true. He can’t be fooled by deceivers. So good seeing you again K’Naan. Love.
I bet a lot white people prefer if he talking bout bitches and drugs are different breed his Somali his tell them what time it is I was there I was watching they face uncomfortable 😂😂😂love them proud of African and Somali
Knaan is somali the nation of poetry decendent of punt kindom and macrobia the land of the gods the godfathers of Egypt so tupac is nothing comparing to somali philosophy and poetic
Both are legendary artists and activists that voiced the struggles of the people of African descendants in the northern hemisphere. Please don’t take anything away from them. You don’t have to crucify one brother while you intend to glorify the other.
Where did this event happen? So sad Knaan doesn't actively make music.Probably the Élite asked him to do things that he couldn't in order to allow him to be famous
AHAHAHHAHAHAH, YOU REALLY MAKE ME LOL. THE ELITE CAN NOT FORCE KNAAN, BUT HE GOT TIRED OF BEING USED AS A DEAD IAD EMBLEM. HE ALSO REGRETS LETTING CORPORATE AMERICA USE HIS AUTHENTIC GRASSROOTS POEMS AND SONGS FOR PROPOGADING THEIR HEDIOUS AGNDA. KNAAN WAS RECENTLY GOING BACK HOME TO INSPIRE YOUNG ARTISTS BACK HOME AND EVEN FEATURED THE VIDEOS OF SOME OF THE PROMISING SINGERS IN SOMALIA.
