Kenyan singer Esther Akoth better known as Akothee. ‘The Boss Lady’ trend #1 on Youtube with ‘Mwiituasa’ a women empowerment jam.
Her song is done in a fluent Kamba dialect called Mwiituasa.
“Every woman should know that no amount of pity party would ever put a smile or food on the table, once you have left your parents home in the name of relationship, your life & the life of your family members ( your children) remains your responsibility.”
“It doesn’t matter the kind of work you will do to make ends meet, all life cares about is BILLS MUST BE PAID, BE STRONG ??,” says Akothee.
Her song has replaced Diamond Platnumz’s ‘Jeje’, from the chart redeeming Kenya’s music industry weeks after Sauti Sol’s Suzzane was overtaken by the ‘gere’ sang alongside Tanasha Donna.

Bahati & Mejja, Madtraxx – Kererembe
Mtoto wa mama alias Bahati, seems to be finding a new line of music. He teems up with Mejja and Madtraxx to unleash Kererembe, perhaps a signal that he might be shifting from the gospel music scene into the secular scene just like other artists who fall out with ‘God’s word’.
