Kenyan entertainer Esther Akoth, popularly known as Akothee, has taken her followers down memory lane with a reminder of her long and eventful journey in the music industry.
In a reflective message, she recalled her days performing on the Safaricom Live stage, a period she describes as one of the strongest foundations of her career.
Akothee noted that her 2018 performance in Kisumu City marked a moment in her life that shaped her existence in the entertainment scene.
She stated that whoever discovers her now may not appreciate the years of experience, resilience, and reinvention behind her brand.
To her, the road she has walked is long, tested, and built on commitment to her craft.
She also mentioned critics and public personalities who once engaged her in heated exchanges on social media.
Some of them eventually shifted their focus to politics, leaving behind the online debates that once trended across platforms.
Akothee used this moment to illustrate how she has remained consistent in her career despite the changing landscape around her.
She reflected on her growth by adding that her ability to command the stage and keep relevance is a result of years of discipline and exposure, not sudden popularity.
She furthermore overemphasized that those who join the industry today often underestimate what it takes in terms of endurance to stay grounded yet still grow with the audience.
It was a message serving both as a reminder of her long-standing influence and a subtle challenge to the upcoming personalities who may think the industry rewards shortcuts.
Revisiting her 2018 Safaricom Live journey, Akothee reiterated that she is one of the seasoned performers in Kenya, whose story spans far beyond recent trends.
