's omission of any Kenyan artists on her 'Lion King' album is a slap to the face and a damn shame -- so says a famous East African, who helped coin"Hakuna Matata."-- the frontman of the Chakacha Kenyan band, Them Mushrooms -- tells us he and a bunch of other Kenyans noticed Bey didn't include ANY local artists in her new 'Lion King' album,"The Gift" ... a self-described"love letter" to Africa.
While the Disney folks tapped tons of other African artists that are hot and poppin' in their own countries -- for example, Nigerian pop star WizKid, Ghanaian producer Shatta Wale, Nigerian singer Burna Boy, South African artists Busiswa and Moonchild Sanelly, Nigerian stars Tekno, Yemi Alade and Mr Eazi -- they excluded Keynans.Considering a lot of the scenery, culture and language used in '94's and 2019's"The Lion King" appears to come straight FROM Kenya ...
John and music critics alike have noted the omission, and he's super bummed about it ... especially since he says no one from Disney even reached out to the"Hakuna Matata" OGs.last year that called for Disney to drop its trademark over"Hakuna Matata," which is a well-known Swahili phrase that John and co. claim to have popularized in their '80s platinum hit,"Jambo Bwana.

Not surprised. Beyonce thinks she better than everyone else.

So sad that Disney even trademarked the phrase 'hakuna matata'
At least Nairobi was represented in MoneyHeist
Yeah ✌ this lion king 2019 version is overrated... Next time they intend to redo the lion king and then borrow Swahili words from us and Kenyan scenaries they might us well include some of our artists like sautisol not go for west african artists irrelevant Beyonce

FRAUD!!!! Tanzania 🇹🇿 deserves much more publicity on this movie. Dear Kenyans can seat on back

When you give these people your hand, they’ll curse you for not giving your whole arm. It’s not her job to include the entire Africa in that album.
That is the whitest looking photo of Beyonce, Ever!!! 😂
