Mutua wrote on his social media account that musicians and comedians do not have to use obscene or vulgar language to be popular. 

" The idea that "oversexualising" content makes it cool is a lie. Music is a powerful tool for building values and must be used for such - to promote, not undermine values. Use of obscene stage names and music titles is banned in line with the Film and Stage Plays Act Cap 222 of the Laws of Kenya," read the post.
