A video of Kenyan content creator Linda Ashley Kebati and her mother,Angelica Akinyi, dancing beside the coffin of Linda’s late father Bosco Kebati has sparked mixed reactions online.
The video shows Linda and her mother appearing cheerful as they dance during Bosco’s burial ceremony.
Their mood has attracted attention because it came shortly after Linda publicly spoke about tensions surrounding her father’s funeral.
Some viewers questioned why the two appeared happy and energetic during a burial ceremony, while others described the moment as unusual and dramatic.
The video quickly drew attention online with people sharing different views about how the family chose to mark Bosco’s final farewell.
The dance came against the background of an already public family disagreement that emerged during Bosco’s burial.
Linda had earlier confronted relatives from her father’s side,accusing them of leaving her mother, herself and her sibling out of important parts of the funeral arrangements.
She said her family felt sidelined during the process of preparing to lay Bosco to rest.The situation became a major talking point after Linda addressed mourners during the burial.
Her public confrontation with members of the Kebati family led to divided reactions with some people supporting her decision to speak about the family issues while others questioned whether a funeral was the right place for such matters.
Linda later explained that her anger was not simply because some relatives failed to support her.She said she felt she had been denied important opportunities to participate in her father’s final moments,including seeing his body at the morgue and taking part in parts of the funeral arrangements.
She also spoke about the challenges of being raised in a polygamous family,saying such family structures can create divisions,hurt and resentment among relatives.
The new video of Linda and Angelica dancing has therefore attracted renewed attention to the family situation.
Their cheerful moment beside Bosco’s coffin has become another widely discussed scene from a funeral that has already generated strong public interest.
The reactions show how closely Kenyans have followed the events surrounding Bosco Kebati’s final send off and the disagreements involving his family.
