Musician and businesswoman Akothee has hit back at online critics, claiming her harshest detractors come from her own Nyanza region. Speaking from abroad, she addressed the uproar over her daring fashion choices and encouraged critics to continue—but with one clear condition.
Bold Fashion Sparks Debate
The controversy erupted after Akothee attended the Ajawa event wearing a thigh-length jacket paired with extremely short shorts, a look that epitomizes her fearless style. Known for pushing boundaries, the singer has repeatedly maintained that her fashion choices are personal and that she does not aim to be a role model.
Highlighting the attention the outfit received, Akothee noted that one post alone racked up 5,000 comments. From the UK, she teased followers, saying: “You mean this TBT got 5k comments? I now know how to keep them busy. Let me drop another one.”
Responding With Humor and Defiance
She questioned why her dress code drew such strong reactions, joking that the alleged “black bum” critics mentioned was nowhere to be seen. Playfully defending her appearance, she demanded justice for her long legs and vowed to continue stirring conversation: “I am back like I never left,” she said.
Nyanza Fans: Biggest Online Critics
Akothee singled out her home region, insisting that her biggest online haters are from Nyanza. She suggested that regional rivalry stems from envy, with critics wishing they could replace her with their own sisters, daughters, or relatives. “They wish they could replace me without walking the journey of being AKOTHEE THE MIGHTY. My league is entirely different,” she asserted.
Permission to Vent, But With a Condition
In a dramatic twist, Akothee invited detractors to insult her freely, asking them to release their anger in the comments. She pledged not to respond, showing sympathy for those carrying emotional burdens. The only condition: critics’ personal histories must be “worth the insult.” “Insult me today with all that’s in your heart. I don’t want you to carry that pain into a new month. Trust me, I won’t respond,” she concluded.
