Published on December 26, 2019, an article highlighted Akothee's expensive nature, making her one of the most costly artistes to hire in Kenya.
As artistes struggle to get paid by MCSK, Akothee focuses on generating income through her stage performances, which are highly lucrative.
Organizing an event with Akothee as the headliner requires meticulous planning and a substantial budget. Here are her top 5 demands:
- Security personnel: Akothee travels with a team of 10 individuals, including 5 women and 5 men, to ensure her safety.
- Private transportation: She prefers to fly to events, regardless of the destination, to maintain her makeup and attire.
- Luxurious backstage setup: Akothee requires a private changing room equipped with 4 full-length mirrors, 4 lounge seats, still and sparkling water, white towels, a private bathroom and toilet, a live kitchen, and a private chef.
- Transportation to the hotel: After the event, a limousine is arranged to take her to her hotel, where she stays in a presidential suite or a nearby hotel.
- Performance fee: In addition to the above demands, Akothee expects to be paid separately for her performance.
As evident from her luxurious lifestyle, Akothee values her hard-earned work and expects the same level of respect from her clients.
