Muhando acknowledged the difficulties faced by artists, noting that they often endure mistreatment, yet they seldom come forward to publicly complain about their challenges.
"Ukiwa mtu maarufu yatakupata mambo mengi sana, utazushiwa vitu vingi sana, Usipende kuamini kila ukisikiacho kumuhusu fulani, kwa kifupi nipo hapa Nairobi na nnaendelea na Mikutano, kama unamadai yoyote kuna vyombo vya sheria," she wrote.
She attributed this silence to their collaborations with religious leaders and stated that if they face persecution, it is often at the hands of those same religious figures.

"Sisi waimbaji hatujawahi kujitokeza hadharani na kusema yale ambayo yanatupata katika huduma zetu. Huwa tunadhulumiwa pia na asilimia kubwa tunafanya kazi na viongozi wa dini hivyo kama tunadhulumiwa maana yake tunadhulumiwa na hao viongozi wa dini ila huwa hatulalamiki. sasa naomba niishie hapa kwa yanayoendelea," she wrote.
