Embarambamba, known for his unorthodox style, distanced himself from the controversial track, ‘Yesu Ninyandue’, which had garnered attention for its eyebrow-raising content. During the interview, he took the opportunity to extend his apologies to the Kenyan public, clarifying that he had no involvement in the production of the song.
Despite having collaborated with Getumbe on previous projects, Embarambamba emphasized that ‘Yesu Ninyandue’ was not one of them. He asserted that had he been involved, he would have intervened to prevent the song’s release, emphasizing the importance of upholding respect for religious sentiments.
Embarambamba conveyed his apologies to Kenyans, highlighting that the confusion arose due to the misconception that he was the ‘Yesu Ninyandue’ hitmaker. He clarified that the artist responsible for the controversial track was a different individual and expressed regret that he wasn’t present to prevent the release. According to Embarambamba, the song crossed a line by suggesting inappropriate relations with Jesus, depicting God as an immoral being, and undermining the reverence due to religious figures.
In response to the public outcry, the controversial gospel song ‘Yesu Ninyandue’ has been removed from YouTube. The Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) took decisive action by issuing a demand letter to the song’s owner, William Getumbe, urging him to delete the song from various online platforms. The board warned of legal consequences if compliance with the demand was not met, citing the Films and Stage Plays Act Cap 222 of the Laws of Kenya.
