Matata – Wababa song Review, Lyrics and Sheng

Kenyan artists living abroad ‘Matata’ have released a new song called “Wababa”. Wababa, released on April 8, 2022, is a song that talks about the trending Wababa, which is a new sheng word used to mean sponsors. The word wababa started trending when kids used to refer to men as wababa, but the word shifted to its current meaning, which means a person who has already made it and can take care of a lady by providing everything she wants. The first instance we heard a song go viral describing wababaz was when Diana Marua released her song called “Mubaba”.
So Who is ‘Wababa’ by Matata
Wababa is a Sheng word referring to a rich guy who can sponsor a lady and give her a soft life. The word wababa is borrowed from the Swahili word ‘Baba’ which means a father. So the word shifted from sponsor to sugar daddy, and now we can refer to this person as “Mbaba” in the singular and “Wababa” in the plural.

Wababa Lyrics
Me ndo big boss father figure
If you tryna hate middle finger
Kama na ku rate na ku big up
Kama na ku hate na pull the trigger
