On December 3, 2019, Akothee, the self-proclaimed 'president of single mothers,' collapsed on stage during her performance at the Luo festival.
According to her manager, Nelly Oaks, Akothee had been advised to rest after being hospitalized, but she went into heavy activity soon after checking out of the hospital and went straight into rehearsals.
"She is in Kisumu still resting at the Acacia Hotel and trying to recover because she went into heavy activity just after checking out of the hospital and went straight into rehearsals she didn’t want to disappoint her fans," Oaks said.
He added that Akothee had run her set for 45 minutes and it was during the last 30 seconds of the last song that the unfortunate incident happened.
"She had lost lots of breath because of the up and down activity. So that’s what forced her to faint but the good news is we got her to the car and we didn’t have to go all the way to the hospital because she recovered slowly and we gave her vitamins and juice and she was back to normal," Oaks said.
Akothee has been recommended two weeks of bed rest by doctors and will be resting at her Rongo Spa home.
