Kenyan musician and entrepreneur Akothee has responded to Charles Njagua Kanyi, a musician and politician who claimed to be richer than her. Akothee believes that men should not compare themselves to women and has accused many musicians who enter politics of doing so to remain relevant in power and make money.
Akothee has also accused some people in politics of being self-serving and not interested in helping the common citizen. She cautioned Jaguar against flaunting his wealth, pointing out that most politicians do not use their money for charitable purposes and only engage in online fundraisers for publicity.
Akothee believes that true philanthropy is felt both on and off the cameras. She also warned people not to use her name for clout, stating that only Eric Omondi, a fellow entertainer, is allowed to use her name.
Jaguar recently announced that he would quit music if Akothee and Harmonize are wealthier than him. However, Akothee, who was ranked as the second richest artist in Kenya after him, with a net worth of $7.6 million, warned him against being obsessed with wealth.
According to Jaguar, he has been in the music industry for over 15 years and does not believe that Akothee and Harmonize are richer than him. He was listed by Forbes as the seventh richest artist in East Africa, with a net worth of $7 million. Despite this, Akothee believes that wealth should not be a measure of success and that one’s impact on society is more important than their financial worth.
