Kenyan underground Rapper Bradley Juma Obomi otherwise known as “Trap King Chrome” is never too far from controversy. From putting up an unforgettable show during an appearance on Ebru TV’s Perfect Match, to pushing his girlfriend off the sixth floor of a building, the United Kingdom deportee seemingly never runs out of ways to have his name trending on social media.
After showing us both his charismatic and ferocious sides, Bradley is back again. This time, he has been stopped dead in his tracks whlist trying to make a few quick pounds through extortion.
His target was an upcoming British grime and hip hop star Melesha Katrina O’Garro popularly known as Lady Leshurr who he booked for a performance at the Muze Club in Nairobi a few weeks ago.
Through her official Twitter handle, Lady Leshurr revealed that Bradley has been trying to sell her an unseen music video for her song “Pretty Likkle Ting” which she shot during her stay in the country.
She adds that he must have gained access to the video thanks to his friendship with a music director who was involved during the shoot.
Leshurr says Bradley tried selling her the video for £5,000 but she ignored him. He has since been trying to leak the music video.

After the end of her short thread, Kenyans were shocked to find out that the culprit was none other but the Trap King Chrome himself.
Bradley is yet to comment on the matter but social media users had a lot to say about it. We’ve sampled some of the reactions below.
