Published on May 14, 2021, Kenyan gospel artiste Nicah the Queen has responded to critics who accused her of using her body to 'invite' people to church.

She was reacting to a viral video that trended weeks ago, where she was trolled for shaking her backside as she welcomed people to church.

Many felt she was focusing the video on her curvaceous body and that she was indecently dressed for a church person.

Speaking during an interview with Mwende Macharia, Nicah shared her side of the story.

"I trended because some people said I was badly dressed, others said I was using my body to invite people to church," she said. "I used to get affected but I decided to accept myself for who I am (curvy)." "There are days you feel afraid to make steps due to the attention," she added. "I do not shake my derrière, it just happens, even if I stand up and walk now it will happen," Nicah explained.
