Fame
Recently Jamhuri Wear has reached mainstream culture in the United States on account of popular entertainers wearing the brand, such as Akon, Damian Marley, K'naan and Tom Morello of Audio Slave. Hip-hop mogul Jay-Z has often been seen wearing the label, notably during his UN-backed Global tour in Tanzania and during his Mega performance at the Live 8 concert in Philly with Linkin Park. In Europe and Africa itself, the brand has been promoted and furthered by homegrown Kenyan rap star Wawesh. Jamhuri Wear has also been featured in reputable fashion publications including Vibe, XXL, Complex magazine, Blow and Stuff magazine.

Famous quotes containing the word fame:
“Stupid misery of fame and money. Always we were safe from it, mistaking our obscurity for a curse when it was a treasure. Free to make what we liked, to be ourselves, even do nothing at all. No one watching. We could be real.”
—Kate Millett (b. 1934)
“The great difficulty is first to win a reputation; the next to keep it while you live; and the next to preserve it after you die, when affection and interest are over, and nothing but sterling excellence can preserve your name. Never suffer youth to be an excuse for inadequacy, nor age and fame to be an excuse for indolence.”
—Benjamin Haydon (1786–1846)
“Those who write for lucre or fame are grosser Iscariots than the cartel robbers, for they steal the genius of the people, which is its will to resist evil.”
—Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)
