According to Akothee, Jaguar’s assertion that he is wealthier than her is false

Jaguar was recently questioned about why Akothee and Harmonize, two other singers who are said to be among the wealthiest in East Africa, were included ahead of him on the list. He dismissed the list, adding that if it were true that Akothee and Harmonize were wealthier than him, he would stop performing. Akothee responded by posting a statement on Instagram with regards to the situation.

“Ati nani amesema He is Richer than THE MADAMBOSS. Since when did men forget themselves and start competing & comparing themselves with WOMEN?” she wrote.

Akothee also attacked politicians who pursue careers in music purely for financial gain and to maintain their influence rather than to aid the underprivileged or alter the economic climate.

“Most celebs/musicians run into politics to make money and to remain relevant in power not to help the common mwananchi or change the economy, you feel good when people chase you,” she stated.

She continued by advising politicians to maintain their modesty and desist from boasting about their wealth, as most of it is funded by the country’s tax.

“Let me not hear any politician bragging with taxpayers’ money ati ‘Riches’ Riches kitu gani. Those business flight tickets, Choppers are paid by the government not your personal money, while people’s children can’t even afford school fee,” she wrote.

Additionally, Akothee blasted politicians who exploit charitable activity as a publicity stunt rather than truly improving people’s lives.

“All this charity you people do online is for PR. Always waiting for something trending to hope on so you can hit headlines because the rest of the days you are irrelevant,” she wrote.

Akothee also made it clear that she does not envy or desire any government seat, stating that she is “government” herself. “I don’t envy or eye any government seat. I am government myself. Take this to the bank,” she wrote. Adding that the number of social media followers also sets apart clout chasers from the rest, “Again, anyone with less than 3.5 m followers should not mention my name, you are clout chasing. I am not in your league. I think in the Kenyan Entertainment industry only Eric Omondi should mention my name,” she wrote.
