Akothee asks artists to give part of their pay to charity

Akothee is known both locally and internationally for her sensational stage performance that leaves her audience wanting more.

Apart from from her music she is an entreprenuer owning a number of businesses that gives her the lifestyle she lives today.

While appearing in a panel on Citizen TV’s 10 over 10 show together with DJ Pierra Makenna and Kagiri talked about the impact each has made in their various roles in the Kenyan music industry.

Taking to her instagram page the singer shared her views on artiste fees paid to international vs Kenyan artistes get when they go to other countries.

“Lets just play our own music, invite our own artists to our own shows , because these fans are our own fans, nobody will give us a platform even to curtain raise in other countries , we over hype the neighbouring countries! Over pay them and they go spend the money in their countries,and underpay our artists , we also demand that when international act comes for a show in kenya, let some percentage go to charity , let them visit school’s ,hospitals, orphanages, not only club appearances ?? a bottle of hernesy is a whole year school fee for some needy ,(now you know why I cant join politics , they will kill me after 2 weeks , coz I will expose them all ? ❤”

Akothee’s solution is simple, before or after the international acts perform, they should dedicate some of their pay to charity.
