Gloria Ntazola, also known as the “Kanjo lady,” has recently expressed her disdain for Gengetone music, claiming it lacks substance, and she refuses to invest her time in listening to it. Additionally, she criticized Generation Z artists, accusing them of not being financially successful in their music endeavors.
In her own words, she stated, “I don’t listen to Kenyan music because there is nothing to listen to. With my beautiful face, should I be listening to Gengetone? No, hell no. Very lazy musicians can’t invest in their art. Let’s stick to running. I’d rather listen to Luhya songs than Gengetone.”
These remarks have elicited various responses from Kenyans on social media. For instance, Terence Creative humorously questioned whether she speaks nonsense or if she is indeed a city officer. Another user, nebulazzkenya, playfully suggested that she is so critical that even her typing sounds like she’s removing “Ngenge” (a slang term for Gengetone). Meanwhile, arunga.aj humorously remarked that the attention Gloria received might have gotten to her head, making her feel like the prime Nicki Minaj. On the other hand, iamgracekay expressed support for Gloria’s decision, stating that Gengetone music isn’t for everyone.
One can’t discuss Gloria Ntazola without acknowledging her rise to internet fame in October. She gained widespread attention through a TikTok video capturing her confrontation with a Kanjo officer. In the video, she locked the officer in her car and insisted on taking him to her house, alleging his unauthorized entry into her vehicle. This incident sparked discussions on citizen rights, law enforcement, and the dynamics between citizens and city officials.
While Gloria’s outspoken nature has undeniably attracted significant attention, some view her actions as attention-seeking. Her recent critique of Gengetone artists has generated mixed reactions, with some resonating with her viewpoint and others dismissing it as an attempt to stay in the public eye.
