The singer and businesswoman has spoken after reports emerged that the daughter of former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko had been allegedly subjected to domestic violence. The news sparked massive online discussion with many Kenyans coming out to express concern, some even calling for more drastic measures in handling GBV.
Akothee is an outspoken and bold character, and her message was chock-full of emotion as she called for respect, accountability, and the protection of young women in relationships. In her powerful statement, she made it known that no woman deserves to suffer in silence, especially not someone’s daughter.
Akothee gave an impassioned plea using her signature raw honesty, mirroring the worry many parents feel when their children experience pain in private relationships. She vented her frustration at partners who mistreat those they love and reminded them that love should never turn into violence.
Her message, captured in the viral graphic, read:
“If love between you and my daughter is over, please release her to come back to me. I have build mansions and accumulated wealth for my children! The only thing I cannot give them is that one only thing we get from men I don’t have!” – Akothee
The statement has since gone viral, with her fans applauding her for being bold and standing up for victims of abuse. Many say Akothee’s message reflects the reality of countless families who watch their daughters suffer behind closed doors, afraid to speak out.
