Outspoken Kenyan singer and entrepreneur Akothee has once again taken the internet by storm—this time not with a new hit song or luxury lifestyle post, but with a raw and emotional rallying cry to protect women from digital abuse.
In a powerful statement shared on her social media platforms, Akothee called for urgent legal action against the leaking of private images and videos by vengeful partners, describing the act not as revenge, but for what it truly is: digital rape.
“It’s time the government puts strict laws in place to protect women from angry, vengeful men,” she wrote. “We are not going to sit back and watch women get digitally slaughtered while society scrolls past like it’s normal.”
Akothee, never one to shy away from taboo subjects, challenged the societal shame often placed on women’s bodies.
“What is so new about sex? What’s so groundbreaking about a woman’s body? Breasts? A vagina? These are not tabloid headlines—they are human anatomy.”
Her words were both a critique and a call for empathy in an age where digital privacy is increasingly weaponized, especially against women. She spoke of the intergenerational trauma such exposure can cause—painting a haunting picture of children bullied with their mothers’ intimate images.
“‘Ona kuma ya mama yako.’ Can you imagine the trauma a child goes through hearing that from classmates?” she asked. “That shame doesn’t just hurt the mother. It scars the next generation.”
Akothee called for social media regulation, legal punishment for digital abusers, and cultural reform where boundaries are respected, not broken in moments of anger or ego.
“Let’s raise a nation where respect is louder than revenge, and boundaries are stronger than broken egos,” she urged.
