Emerging Gengetone artist Ngesh Kaveve Kazoze has become the talk of the town in recent times. She rose to fame with her viral lyrics in a collaboration with her group, Spider Gang, which captured the attention of many. The relatability of her music struck a deep chord with Kenyan audiences, and within just two weeks, her song had accumulated over 1 million views.
Her newfound fame led to numerous interview offers and support from various fans. However, this success was not without controversy. Some critics disapproved of the transformation in Ngesh’s lifestyle, particularly her rise from being a street vendor to performing in high-profile clubs, earning a significant income.
During a TikTok live session, one critic expressed frustration, arguing that Ngesh’s music lacked depth and didn’t reflect the reality of the average Kenyan. Despite the negative feedback, Ngesh responded calmly, acknowledging that her lyrics might come across as simple or childish. However, she stood by her artistic choices, highlighting that these very lyrics were the foundation of her success and financial well-being.
Undeterred by the criticism, Ngesh continues to perform in clubs, where she is paid for her craft. She made it clear that as long as her music continues to bring in substantial income, she will remain dedicated to her style, even if others label it as juvenile. Ngesh believes that her music is not just an expression of creativity, but a means of transforming her life and achieving her dreams.
