Content creator and influencer Ruth K has stirred up a storm online after praising award-winning singer Willy Paul for his massive global fan base while accusing Kenyans of not giving him enough credit.
In a post on BTG News, Ruth K appreciated the artist’s consistency and global penetration, adding that Willy Paul’s songs are taking over global spaces, especially on TikTok.
“Willy Paul is an international artist but I feel Kenyans give him less flowers. Ngoma za Pozze huhit hadi international, naona wazungu tuu wakidance TikTok lakini huku Kenya!! Salute to Pozze,” she wrote.
Ruth’s post comes at a time when Willy Paul, who is renowned for hits like Toto, Umeme, and You, has been trending following his recent collaborations that continue to receive attention globally. Fans from across Africa, Europe, and even the United States have been grooving to his music, constantly sharing dance videos and remixes on social media.
Despite his success, the artist has often complained of feeling undervalued in his home country a sentiment Ruth K echoed in her comment.
Her remark has since evoked mixed reaction from netizens. There are those who believe Willy Paul deserves to be given more credit, while others think the controversies that have followed the artist have perhaps overshadowed his music success.
