Published on October 20, 2019, Akothee, a renowned Kenyan singer and businesswoman, has sparked controversy with her recent social media post.

Targeting men who rely on their partners for financial support, Akothee expressed her frustration with the current societal norms that have led to this behavior.

"No woman will stay in a relationship where she is the one to spend on you, whether you are partners or friends," Akothee stated.

She emphasized that men who cannot provide for themselves are not worthy of being called men, but rather boys who have yet to take responsibility.

Akothee's comments have sparked a heated debate, with some agreeing with her views and others defending the rights of men to seek financial support from their partners.
