Musician and entrepreneur Akothee has sparked widespread debate after publicly lashing out at her critics on Facebook.During an overseas trip over the weekend, Akothee targeted what she referred to as “poor villagers” who allegedly cannot afford even a Ksh 10,000 passport but still attempt to dictate her lifestyle.
Known for her candid and unfiltered communication, the singer used the social media platform to express frustration at fans who regularly scrutinize her life choices.
She wrote that she would not accept advice from individuals who have not achieved fundamental milestones in their own lives.
“Don’t try to comment rubbish on my post if you are commenting from the village. You lower my IQ,” she stated, triggering intense online reactions.
In a subsequent post, Akothee mocked her critics for their alleged financial limitations.
“Babe, you can’t even get your girlfriend a passport that costs less than 10k. And you want to control the Controller of Budgets?”
she wrote, emphasizing her independence, financial capability while contrasting it with her detractors, whom she claims have never traveled abroad.
The comments quickly went viral, generating a mix of praise and backlash.Some fans commended her honesty, arguing that she was merely speaking the truth about those who interfere in her life without understanding her challenges.
Others criticized her for appearing dismissive toward ordinary citizens.
One X user defended her: “Akothee is telling the truth. People meddle in her life without knowing her struggles.” Another criticized her, saying: “This is disrespectful. You don’t need a passport to have an opinion. Akothee should respect her fans.”
This episode is not unusual for Akothee, who frequently finds herself at the center of heated debates due to her outspoken personality and refusal to filter her statements.
