• He says Kenyans should take his antics as a comedy but is still preaching the gospel.

Embarambaba does not believe he is controversial as labeled by Kenyans. The singer is trending for wearing a cute brown pleated skirt and red crop top dancing and entertaining his online fans.

He spoke to YouTuber Nicholas Kioko about his outfit saying;

"Hii ni mali ya mungu ameumba, hapa ndio tumefika kama wasanii lazima tutafute vile tunakula and tunatambaa jina. Nimeskuma hii ministry ya usanii pole pole pole pole mpaka saa hii."

Kioko asked him if he was concerned people would think he has joined LGBTQ.

"Wapi? Hii inaitwa the best gospel artiste nowadays, Embarambaba the best comedy,/gospel," he defended his antics.

"Lazima nikiimba lazima niweke comedy ndani ili watu mafans wasikie mzuri na wafurahie ndani ya Mungu."

He says people forget he is a comedian who must thrill his fans with unique content

"Sio lbtq, watu wananielewa ni msanii wa sarakati lazima nientertain ma fans na niongeze. I think last time kwa mitandao nilitumiwa message mafans wako hawana interest becaus ehauna kitu mpya yani wamedrop nikaona nimenyamaza mwezi hii niletee maneno, sasa ningakucha hapa the best comedian gospel msanii people love nowadays."

To him it's just comedy not LGBTQ. "Nilitumiwa message mafans wako hawana interest huja leta kitu mpya."

He has been offline for some time now. "Sijapotea ni ile tuu naenda pole pole nisiendee sana nipotee kwa hii ministry."

He sings songs whose messages are often misinterpreted to suggest he is lewd.

"Hio ni injili imesimama. Wengine walifikiria kwingine, unajua tuko na nyimbo zile za kiki, kama ile ya mama yangu amekuliwa. Si ati nilimmanisha alikuliwa amelala na mtu, alikuliwa madeni, akakuliwa na siafu."

He also has another song 'naskia nipande'.

"Ile nilikuwa naomba wasanii wote upand wetu wa Kisii wako na magari, lakini mimi sina gari. Sasa nikaomba mungu naskia nipande gari ya yesu. watu wakasema ameanza tabia mbaya yani unaona kupanda."

He is well aware he will attract condemnation from the Church.

"Hii ni kazi nikiweka hivi lazima tupate kitu tunakula alafu kueneza injili ya mungu. Kwa hivo nikiweka hivi ni ile ya kutafuta unga, nikiweka hivi ni ile ya kutafuta unga, unjua mahindi gorgoro imeenda juu lazima tutafute vile tunaenda."
