August 20, 2019 - Luo Festival organizers have had to jump through hoops to secure the services of self-declared President of single mothers Akothee, with the musician demanding a helicopter ride, limousine, and presidential suite among other outrageous requirements.
According to radio presenter and MC Jalang'o, Akothee's team made several demands before agreeing to perform at the event scheduled for August 31, 2019, at Carnivore grounds.
These demands include having her own security team of 10 personnel, flying to the festival in a helicopter that costs 200k, and having a private backstage area with a changing room, lounge seats, and a private bathroom and toilet.
Additionally, Akothee required 5 cases of still water, 5 cases of sparkling water, 40 white towels, private live kitchen and private chef, assorted juices of different flavours, 10 flower bouquets, and a massage table.
She also demanded that a limousine be arranged to take her to her hotel after the show, as she prefers the privacy of a presidential suite.
While Akothee did not confirm or deny the reported demands, she reposted Jalang'o's post and used it to take a dig at MCSK.
“As MCSK Still sorting out mpesa balance???,” she wrote.
