Kenyan singer and entrepreneur Akothee has sparked controversy online after a post celebrating her youngest daughter’s achievements. Many followers criticized the tone of the message, deeming it insensitive and boastful.

Akothee highlighted her 24-year-old daughter, Fancy Makadia’s academic accomplishments, stable job in Paris, and supportive relationship. However, the post’s conclusion, asking followers about their own achievements and what they’ve done for their mothers, triggered negative reactions.

Critics argued that the message was a veiled comparison and could be hurtful to those who are struggling. They expressed frustration with Akothee’s tendency to put people down, emphasizing the importance of sharing achievements without making others feel inadequate.

Despite the backlash, Akothee’s daughters have achieved significant success in their respective fields. Vesha Okello, her eldest daughter, is a successful businesswoman and digital marketing director. Rue Baby, the second daughter, is a renowned model and social media influencer. And Fancy Makadia, the youngest, is pursuing a Master’s degree in France and has a stable job.
