Musician Chris Mosioma aka Embarambamba has found himself on the wrong side of Kenyans after giving a hit to former Minister of Education George Magoha.

Magoha passed away on Tuesday after suffering a heart attack. Leaders, politicians and Kenyans continue to send condolence letters to the family of his comrade.

While Kenyans continue to send their messages to the late Magoha's family, gospel musician Embarambamba has released a strong song to honor the late professor.

The song, which was released just one day after Prof's death, has left many Kenyans expressing different feelings on the internet.

"Stop being silent like that, George Magoha," Embarambamba sang. Here are some of the feelings of netizens;

The singer is no stranger to controversy as under Uhuru's previous government he was banned from attending government functions.

Speaking to Mpasho, the singer said, "The last time Uhuru came to Kisii, I was told to reduce my drama as they were afraid I would cause tension," he said.

"Am just a cool person and I know how to handle myself. Given a chance, I will be very cool. I am in Kisii and I am not able to even come and view our President's body in Parliament," he said.

After the death of Kenya's 3rd president Mwai Kibaki, the singer released the song Tufanyeje, a composition to the late.

In the video, Embarambamba is seen sitting on a maize field wearing a torn red suit. He then gets up and starts walking around asking, "Kifo umechukua Kibaki wapi [Death where have you taken Kibaki]?” 

In his typical fashion, Embarambamba then throws himself in a muddy puddle before climbing a tree while wailing. 

"Kibaki ohhh. Kibaki umeenda wapi? Umefuata Moi [Where have you gone, Kibaki? You have followed Moi]."

During the interview, the artiste said that he would remember the late head of state for enabling free education and giving Kenyans a new constitution.
