Singer Akothee has been trending all over for the better part of the week, all this due to her recent performance that has been described as being raunchy.
Akothee had a mega show in Malindi’s Watamu with her fans, fans that included her biological parents thronging the venue of her concert to show her support and dance to her music.
After the successful event, Akothee took to her social media accounts to share pictures of how everything went down and it is here that hell broke loose.
Criticisms started trickiling in with a number of Kenyans and public figures like Ezekiel Mutua castigating her for failing to live up to expectations, that of being a role model.
It now turns out that not everybody was actually mad at Akothee. She won a number of hearts including that of Nairobi Women Representative Ester Passaris.
Passaris has said that Akothee has no duty teaching Kenyan children about morality, adding that the musician inspires a lot of people in different ways.
Ms Passaris was a guest KTN’s morning show on Thursday together with Kenya Classification Board chief executive Ezekiel Mutua, one of Akothee’s vocal critics.
Passaris called on Mutua to apologise to Akothee after his vitriolic attack on Facebook.
“You owe Akothee an apology because you insulted her and called her demonic,” said Passaris.
She added that the raunchy performance was not in a school compound or performed for underage children, and that there is no law that stops what she did on stage in Malindi last week.‘
Mutua, the self-proclaimed moral policeman, had in a Facebook post dismissed Akothee’s performance as ‘madness.
According to Passaris; “KFCB should regulate what our children watch. Adults have a right to watch what they want without being confined.”
Well, are you for or against Akothee?
