Kenyan Singer Akothee reacts after being dragged for flashing panties in skimpy dress (Photos)
Controversial Kenyan musician and entrepreneur Esther Akoth, popularly known as Akothee, has addressed mounting social media criticism over her choice of attire, particularly in photos showing her dressed in revealing outfits while spending time with her children.
The backlash began after a series of images circulated online showing Akothee posing with her sons in outfits some social media users described as “inappropriate” for a mother.
Critics argued that as a parent, her wardrobe decisions should reflect a higher level of discretion and consideration for her children.
In response to the negative comments, Akothee took to her official Facebook page to push back against her detractors, emphasising her commitment to personal freedom and self-expression.
She wrote: “2026, don’t try to advise me if the same advice can’t save your life,” underscoring that public opinion does not dictate her choices or values.
Akothee, who has long been known for bold fashion statements and a willingness to challenge societal norms, reiterated that her style is part of her identity and artistic persona.
The singer’s career, spanning more than a decade and encompassing music, business and philanthropy, has often placed her at the centre of debates on morality, culture, and personal empowerment.
Social media reactions to the controversy were mixed. Some users defended her right to choose her wardrobe and expressed that personal style should not be conflated with parenting capability, while others maintained that public figures, especially those with children, should exercise greater restraint in how they present themselves.
Independent discussions on online forums highlighted broader cultural tensions about modern fashion, celebrity influence, and the expectations placed on women in the public eye.
This is not the first time Akothee has navigated public criticism. In recent months, she has responded to debates about expensive dinner bills and other personal revelations shared on social media, reiterating her belief that transparency and authenticity are core to her public engagement.
Despite ongoing online scrutiny, Akothee’s fan base continues to support her bold personal brand.
Many posts applauded her confidence and urged critics to embrace diversity in style and individuality.
The entertainer has shown no signs of retreating from her unapologetic approach to self-expression.
