Kenyans have expressed concern after a video of gospel singer Mary Atieno Ominde singing at a recent church event began circulating online.
The video shows her performing her famous song “Adamu na Eva” with a choir, but some people were more focused on how she looked and acted than her music.
Mary Atieno is a well-known gospel musician in Kenya. She has been active in the music scene for many years and is admired for her powerful voice and spiritual songs. Her hit “Adamu na Eva” is still sung in churches across the country.
In the video, she appears on stage wearing a black hoodie, a simple dress that reaches her knees, and black boots. She sang with energy and was supported by a choir and people who danced with her. However, many Kenyans on social media focused on her outfit and physical appearance more than her performance.
Some commenters said they were worried she might not be well or that she was not being properly looked after. Others offered to help by giving her clothes or even styling her free of charge. A few said they hoped church leaders or her family would support her more.
