My Demonic Performance Bought Me a House in Watamu – Akothee Tells Critics

Kenyan musician Akothee never fails to make it to the headlines. Earlier this year, the musician received some serious backlash aka shade in her career because of her controversial performance at an event at Papa Remo Beach in Watamu. Critics judged her skimpy outfit during the show and raunchy dance moves. At the time, one of her number one haters was self proclaimed ‘morality cop’ Ezekiel Mutua who went ahead to make the following comments about the singer to the public.

“Akothee is talented but the filthy and stupids stunts she has to pull to remain relevant should concern all of us. What’s worse is to see grown-up men and women celebrating this scatological obscenity in the name of entertainment. We have lost it as a nation. People like Akothee cannot be the role models for our daughters. Music doesn’t have to be dirty to sell. How I wish artists like Akothee would know how much influence they have on our youths and try to use that influence to produce content that is edifying. This kind is crass, moronic and a theater of the absurd. It’s demonic to the core and only appeals to debilitating and incorrigible perverts and brainless audiences. Akothee must stop this idiosyncrasy. There’s no dignity in for her or her audience.”

Fast forward to today and Akothee appears to be the winner in the situation – the one who got the last laugh. According to the singer the backlash from her performance at Watamu fattened her bank account. In fact, she is in the final stages of purchasing a house in Watamu. Through social media, Akothee spilled she has also been booked to perform for Italian dignitaries.

“Stay around people who love you for you and lights your candle! Roberto invited me for a show in his Hotel in papa Remo for the Valentine’s. Which to Kenyans they thought I was a disgrace, the show trended negatively locally, and trended positively internationally, Kenyans called me a disgrace but Italians called me MADONNA OF KENYA. The show trended positively in Italy and that changed the position of my pocket and a breakthrough in my career, because of this show I will be performing exclusively for Italian dignitaries on the 7th September and I have an invite for another exclusive show in MONACO I am here to finalize the purchase of my new home in Watamu.”

Akothee sent Ezekiel Mutua and other critics a message saying” Someone tell Mutua he was a blessing, I thought you should know that, if you ever fought for me online it has brought blessings.”
