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:
“People feel fame gives them some kind of privilege to walk up to you and say anything to you, of any kind of nature—and it won’t hurt your feelings—like it’s happening to your clothing.”
—Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962)
“Celebrity-worship and hero-worship should not be confused. Yet we confuse them every day, and by doing so we come dangerously close to depriving ourselves of all real models. We lose sight of the men and women who do not simply seem great because they are famous but are famous because they are great. We come closer and closer to degrading all fame into notoriety.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Those poor farmers who came up, that day, to defend their native soil, acted from the simplest of instincts. They did not know it was a deed of fame they were doing. These men did not babble of glory. They never dreamed their children would contend who had done the most. They supposed they had a right to their corn and their cattle, without paying tribute to any but their governors. And as they had no fear of man, they yet did have a fear of God.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
