Kenyan singer Akothee has made headlines with her recent post, where she gave her family and fans instructions for her funeral.

Published on June 26, 2020, Akothee expressed her frustration with 'a few pretentious celebrities' who have the habit of not supporting their counterparts and only posting and celebrating them after their demise.

'A celebrity is celebrated more when dead than alive, sad. Let nobody come to my funeral expecting special services,' Akothee wrote. 'You never paid for a VVIP nor showed up on my concerts and when I am dead, now you want to be recognized as one of Akothee's supporters. Don't come.'

Akothee also instructed her family on where she would want her body to be viewed and later laid to rest, adding that none of her baby daddies will have to fight for her remains.

'I have instructed my family that in an event that I die before them, my body will be viewed at Rakwaro Primary School, so my loyal fans can see me it has a huge space,' she said. 'None of my exes will fight over my body, it's all sorted.'

She also made it clear that she would not be buried in Europe, but rather in Jakamagambo, Rakwaro, and asked that anyone who wants to attend her funeral should bring their own food.

'If you want to eat at my funeral, please carry packed lunch, Don't come to frustrate my family with VVIP,' Akothee shared.

Netizens have taken to Akothee's comment section to speak against death in her life, with many wishing her a long life.
