Published on May 14, 2020, Emmy Kosgei, a renowned Kalenjin gospel artiste, has found herself at the center of a controversy after Kalenjin men accused her of attacking them and their community.
The incident began when Emmy referred to Kalenjin men as introverts who do not know how to approach a woman directly, sparking widespread criticism and backlash.
Defending herself, Emmy stated that her comments were taken out of context and blown out of proportion by a 'selfish and ill-motivated person' who sought to sell their products by misrepresenting her words.
According to Emmy, she had intended to reach out to her fans on social media with a two-hour video recording when the controversy erupted.
Emmy emphasized that she has always represented her community with pride and would never do anything to jeopardize that reputation.
She also took to social media to address her fans, urging them to ignore the controversy and stick to the facts, which she claimed were available on Facebook.
Emmy maintained that she is a Christian and a pastor's kid and could never utter words that would demean her community.
