Controversial gospel singer Embarambamba has extended an olive branch to MCSK CEO Ezekiel Mutua after being forgiven for his 'disrespectful' music.

The criticism surrounding his disrespectful lyrics gathered storm last week after Mutua in a Spicefm interview condemned him plus his peer William Getumbe whose song Yesu Ninyandue went viral.

KFCB at the end of February threatened legal action against the two, for ridiculing religion.

Embrambamba has a song titled Niko Uchi. including another dubbed Imesimama, where he puts his hand in the pocket to indicate what his meaning is.

Embarambamba has reacted to Mutua's comment, insisting his music has been misinterpreted.

He assured Kenyans he is not trivializing gospel music pushing back on those claims.

In an Instagram video, Embarambamba apologized profusely 

"Wakenya, please forgive me. " he began, as he climbed a tree and jumped on and off.

Thanking the MCSK Boss, Embarambamba said his songs aren't bad.

"Eh Daktari, Ahsante kwanza kwa kusikia kilio changu. Na ahsante kwa kunisamehea. Na Wakenya, please nawaomba, forgive me forgive me" he repeats again.

"NaGod will bless you. Wakenya angalia nyimbo zangu na heshima please nawaomba"
