Kenyan singer Akothee recently caused a stir with her actions at an American airport. The singer, who had been in the United States for three days performing in Las Vegas with more shows scheduled, missed her first flight to an unknown destination.

Akothee, set to release a new song titled 'Tucheze' on March 10, 2017, was left waiting for alternative arrangements. As the wait stretched into hours, she grew tired, sleepy, and weary.

Rather than seeking an expensive hotel room, Akothee decided to catch some sleep on the airport floor, using a neck pillow for comfort. This incident occurred while she was at the American airport.

Akothee shared her experience with her fans on social media, posting:

'Stayed at the airport from 5:30 am to 8:30 pm just because I missed my first flight, so I made my own bed switched off & slept hustle till haters ask if you are hiring #tucheze'

Her decision to sleep on the airport floor sparked mixed reactions among Kenyans, with many questioning why she didn't opt for a hotel room instead.
