She says that her resolute stand of not entertaining fake promises and not giving fake promises have made people think that she is arrogant which is not the case.

She recounted that she once dated a pilot who promised to buy her land in Bamburi twelve years ago. but it never materialised despite the wait.

"Nothing can hold a woman back than fake promises, most people think I am rude, yes I am , because I have no time for fake promises and false statements to keep us going, none of the fake promises ever built my mother a mansion, neither paid my bills, neither can I take them to the bank to acquire loans, " Akothee noted.

Akothee who recently won the International Reggae and World Music Award as Soukous entertainer revealed she personally can't offer fake promises. 

"I will be the most stupid woman to sit down and wait for any human to come to change my life both positively or negatively, it didn't happen before and it will never happen, " Akothee added. 

This comes barely days after the self-proclaimed boss lady was recently seen launching projects in Turkana. She last month delivered her relief food to hunger-stricken Turkana residents after a long period of drought.

Akothee is one of Kenya's artists loved and hated in equal measure. However, her resilience has never stopped her from moving on even when critics come so hard at her.
