Kigeugueu hit maker Jaguar, who is NACADA’s board member has something to talk about the next time he meets with the petite and rich female Kenyan artiste Esther Akothee of the Shengerera Mama fame.
Jaguar who was live on radio with Kalekye and Shaffie was asked about his interactions with Prezzo to which he replied that:
"Unajua kudeal na huyu msee… What I did when I was starting is that I told him…kuna watu walikua wamechukua industry ni kama ni yao like sisi watu wakutoka Eastlando we can’t enter! So I told them unawezatoka uko Eastlands walikua wanaona chini na uwapite ata kama ni mababi.”
So mi ntaachia Shaffie hio job aongee na yeye kwa sababu Prezzo ni difficult, tunaweza enda studio tena aanze mavitu haziko. Unajua ni male version ya Akothee. Mimi simchukii Prezzo, namheshimu sana lakini akicome tufanye song aache hio mambo ya usocialite na akue mwanaume.”Jaguar said.
Jaguar’s statement in the interview was brushed off by Akothee’s management: “Akothee is very busy right now. She is working on projects with top South African artistes, among other regional and international musicians. Most of the time she is not in Kenya as she is building her brand appeal. We are not even aware that Jaguar called her a ‘socialite’.That tells you how busy she and the team are. Akothee is too busy to engage Jaguar in cheap publicity stunts.”
Well, let’s wait and see what projects Akothee comes up with next.
