Outspoken Kenyan musician Esther Akoth alias Akothee has expressed umbrage to the online users who are cyberbullying artist Kevin Bahati’s family.
In a hard-hitting lengthy message, Mrs Schweizer appealed to Netizens to refrain from trolling the Bahatis since their kids are growing up and it might affect their future. She pleaded with people to at least express their humanity when it comes to children.
“This photoshop should stop there for the sake of the children. If you hate Bahati and Diana Their Children have nothing to do with the Children 🙏. I wish we all had Humanity,” she wrote in part.
Akothee lamented netizens using social media for evil purposes. She questioned how some could manipulate an innocent family portrait and start comparing the kids with other individuals who aren’t part of the family members. The self-proclaimed president of single mothers further spouted on the society discriminating against women and painting them as promiscuous.
“Social media is becoming demonic. People have lost empathy, respect, and self-discipline. How can you take a whole family foto and start comparing people’s children with other individuals? What exactly came into your mind? That’s what happened? This is how society paints women in this discriminated society,” Akothee added.
Madam Boss asked the trollers to put themselves in Bahati’s shoes and assume that they were the ones being bullied as this will make them comprehend the whole situation. She expressed her concern to Morgan who is a teenager and at the same time active on social media platforms. According to her, the innocent celebrity kid might end up being bullied in school by his fellow students who have social media handles.
“How painful will it be if it were you in this picture, be it a man or a woman, a father or a mother even the children in the photos? Bulshit, really bulshit🤔😠😠😠. The same photos will be used by bullies in school, to bully innocent children on behalf of their parents. Which world are we living in? Dunia Gani hii jamani?”, she continued.
The vocal artist encouraged her fellow celebrities to continue flaunting their families without taking into consideration the extent to which they are being bullied. In her view, celebrities act as motivation and entertainment to others.
“As celebrities, we post our families first as our albums, secondly as motivation to some of the most irresponsible parents I know, and third as entertainment. Don’t take this for granted, your jealousy won’t stop celebrities from being celebrated, where Children are involved, I won’t keep quiet. celebrities are equally raising broken children, because of you bullies, you bully us, bully our families, bully our children,” Akothee ranted.
The no-nonsense artist concluded by advising Bahati and Marua to take legal action against the people who are spreading rumors about their family.
“If I am DIANA & BAHATI Will sue your Dahm Assess. Even if you are as a small fan as a maggot. Chieth Nkt. Nimekasirika asana. Some small respect for family especially children 💪 Go for Bahati & Diana do Rika Zenu,” Akothe said.
The Bahatis have been trending after unknown individuals photoshopped other Kenyan personalities into their family portraits. The inserted celebrities are alleged to be the biological fathers of Bahati’s kids. The inhuman act has been condemned by several personalities as it has exposed the Bahatis to cyberbullying.
