Kenyan artiste Akothee has said that she might look okay on the outside but she is going through a lot with challenges of putting out her music.

According to the mother of five, she has been dealt with a heavy blow after her manager duped her off her hard earned revenue.

This is despite the many hours and resources she put in. Taking to her social media to rant, the president of single mother's wrote,

'I WORK LIKE ADOG, SOMEONE ELSE POCKETS 😭😭😭.

When spice stole my content uploaded my songs on different channels with a different name and collected my revenues with projects they didn't spend a penny on, They made my management sign a stupid agreement that said we were to pay them 200,000 ksh upon termination 🏃🤷🤷.

while the only money they managed to pay me after 3 months of collecting my revenue was Ksh 18,000.

I told them to take it to an orphanage, they refused with my logins, And I had to be a mad woman to have my logins & my Channel back 💔😳,I even undressed and called police for these Indians 😳😳.'

She added,

'THE STORY WITH ONEPRM Is even more painful because they even blocked my YoUTUBE revenues for 2 months, came on board with a lot of false promises and claimed that NGOmMA was stealing from Me and that NGOmMA OWES ME ABOUT ksh 1, 500,000 .

However , NGOmMA has never delayed with any of my payments, I know I lost money from 2019 backwards since my management then pocketed all the money from my YoUTUBE earnings.

Me being too busy with other projects, I trusted him and left him to handle that sector and collected revenue on my behalf 💔💔💔🤣🤣🤣.

one day I woke up, and told him to give me clemmos number 🙆🙆🙆

Every time I asked if we are not receiving any money from YouTube, he said he can't get hold of CLEMMO. OOH SHIT

Akothee then called Clemmo and that is when he broke the bombshell.

'when I called Clemmo 🙆🙆🙆🙆💔💔💔, Clemmo just told me

AKOTHEE send me your email address I will forward you your spreadsheet 🙆💔

YOUR MANAGER HAS BEEN RECIEVING YOUR MONEY MONTHLY AND EVEN TAKING ADVANCE 2 TIMES A MONTH 💔💔🤣😂 I HAVE SUFFERED REALLY IN THE HANDS OF MUSIC 💔 I MAY LOOK STRONG BUT INSIDE I Am BROKEN.

When I just left hospital in 2019, 20th of December, I sent 10,000 USD to LONDON. IN THE NAME OF UNLIMITED CONSULTATION FEE FOR REBRANDING TO SOMEONE WHO POSED AS A PROFFESSIONAL 🤣🤣.

BUT CAME TO LEARN THAT HE HAS NO IDEA OF WHAT A BRAND MEANS HE HANGS AROUND BIG NAMES AND COLLECT ARTISTS CONTACTS, I FELL VICTIM.'

The mother of five sarcastically concluded,

'I won't mention 🤣 this is for another day 🤣🤣 Someone in Tanzania is owing me 1000 USD still in the name of music distribution 🤣 back in 2016 🤣🤣 hope all this people are rich now 🙏'
