A section of Kenyans on social media has been left divided after controversial singer Akothee allegedly called out women wearing revealing outfits, questioning the rising trend of what she described as “lack of decency” in dressing. WATCH THE VIDEO HERE.
In a video that has since gone viral, the outspoken musician is seen expressing strong views about modern fashion trends among young women, saying that some outfits being worn in public are “shameful” and do not reflect proper societal values.
“Mbona wanawake mnavaa mavazi ya aibu? Kueni na heshima,” she is heard saying, sparking instant reactions online.
The remarks quickly ignited mixed reactions, with some Kenyans agreeing with her sentiment, saying morality and respect in dressing is important, while others accused her of judgment and trying to police women’s fashion choices.
Social media platforms were soon flooded with heated comments, with some users defending personal freedom in fashion, arguing that clothing should not define a person’s character. Others, however, supported the singer, saying public decency has been eroding in recent years.
The debate has once again highlighted the growing cultural clash in Kenya between modern fashion trends and traditional expectations of modesty, especially among public figures whose opinions tend to spark national conversations.
As of now, Akothee has not issued any further clarification beyond the viral clip, but the discussion continues to trend across TikTok, X (Twitter), and Facebook, with thousands of comments pouring in.
The video continues to circulate widely, keeping the conversation alive as Kenyans remain sharply divided on whether fashion freedom should have limits or not.
