I don't like sympathy- Akothee
Yesterday, the Singer and businesswoman blasted Radio Jambo for referring her with the word Maskini.
The station ran a story on their blog about how the singer was mistreated in the United States, something that made her arrive late for a show. They then said that poor Akothee (Maskini Akothee) was forced to apologize to her fans for getting late.
The mother five, did not take the words lightly saying that there are names she doesn't like being associated to.
She went on to say that she hates to be sympathized with, and instead prefers to be encouraged. Akothee called out the station insisting that encouragement and congratulations are better than sympathy.
“Maskini inatoka wapi sasa @radiojambokenya, na ile Best female Artist award Muliona kweli mkanipongeza kabla kunihurumia mimi na mafans. Kenya nimehama? Kuna baadhi za majina sipendi kuitwa kamwe kama vile vile "maskini " chaai NEVER ,I don't like sympathy, encouragement is key encourage and congratulate me please ,mambo ya wuoishee wachana nayo #calpolis,” she said.
Akothee is not new to controversy and has been dominating the headlines.
