The Kenya Film Classification Board on Monday said it has flagged out ‘Utawezana’ hit by Femi One and Mejja for being ‘shallow, bizarre sexual perversion’ promoting indecency in the name of creativity.
Ezekiel Mutua, the KFCB Board Chair said the song was ‘creating such obscenity like “Nikikupea utawezana” instead of the duo focusing on creating content that inspires hope.
“Our artistes must not glorify immorality in the guise of creativity. The Okonkwo Utawezana nonsense is a shallow, bizarre sexual perversion. There’s absolutely nothing creative there. That lady would be ashamed to sing such crap before her mother,” Dr. Mutua said.
The perverts who are creating such obscenity like "Nikikupea utawezana" should be ashamed of themselves. Media houses promoting such crap too are a disgrace. Artistes should be creating inspiring content to help combat COVID-19 pandemic, not promoting sexual perversion.

“It’s worse when mainstream media begins to glorify such dirty content by giving the creators airtime on TV or Radio,” Mutua added.
The single Utawezana, has more than 2.5 million views on YouTube.
