On November 5, 2019, singer Timmy Tdat's latest song 'Vitamin U' featuring Tanzanian artist Rosa Ree sparked controversy on social media.

The song's explicit content, particularly the video's nudity, raised concerns among many viewers.

YouTube subsequently restricted access to the video, displaying a message that read, 'If the owner of this video has granted you access, please sign in.'

The video in question features Timmy Tdat and Rosa Ree in a bathtub, with the singer's hands cupping the artist's breasts.

Other nude scenes are also present in the video, showcasing the affection between the two artists.

Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) CEO Ezekiel Mutua later confirmed that the song had been age-restricted on YouTube.

However, in the same statement, Dr. Mutua made an error, claiming that Ethic's 'Tarimbo' had also been age-restricted, which is not the case.
