Did you know controversial singer Akothee was once a gospel singer?

Well, the mother of five has revealed that she was a churchgoer and for the matter the choir soloist back then before fame.

Akothee has disclosed that she quit gospel for secular music after she found out that Christians or rather churchgoers were hypocritical and judgemental.

In a lengthy post she shared on social media, Akothee remembers how she lost friends after she divorced her first husband, father of her three daughters.

The Oyoyo singer says it got to an extent where preachers used her family status as an example to preach during sermons. Akothee was responding to critics, who called her out saying she doesn't go to church and was a bad influence to the youth.

"Don't you know that I was the best soloist in my church! Do you know that the church choir would feel empty in my absence? and the day I miss church everyone would know that mama Vesha was not in church today! Do you know why I stopped gospel and went secular? It's because I could not keep up with the hypocrisy, the moment I got divorced, the entire church members I knew, family friends etc, turned their back on me, none of them or their wives wanted to associate with me!"

"Preachers used my family status as an example to preach in church! gave me all kinds of names because they heard the story from one side! No one wanted to associate with me! Rejection is poisonous, that's why most people mistake my attitude towards life for arrogance,😂😂😂😂 Mimi ni msabato, sijabeba kifunguu ya kanisa yenyu wewe enda church ongea na Mungu wako, hatakuuliza dhambi zangu .

"Married men look attractive because there is a woman behind him keeping his sh8t together 😂😂that ironed trouser & shirt you are admiring might have been bought by the wife, things are not so rosy like they look , that car you are eyeing could be under a loan taken by the wife just to keep their family on another level & you are busy calculating how you want to catch this man with a child on just a one night stand pap! After 1 week you are already breaking the news to him that 'baby I am pregnant' how do you know? because for you to know that you are pregnant you have to miss your moon, so you wait and see if you will go up this month! In our days we only found out in the half of the second month That things are not well , hiii ya maslayqueen ukipoint tu leo kesho wako na ball 🍾🍾🍾 ask any man with two wives or children outside their marriage if that is what they really wanted! Don't think men don't get hurt!

Take your time please My list of single mothers is almost full ! I am afraid we need a library to store the full register so people be learning on how we ended up here 😂😂😂, sisi tulishaharibu mama, usitufuate kazi iko hapa hakuna leave! That pregnancy is yours from day one otherwise you won't have to inform the other one about it! He should have missed his periods the same time with you! Men are not really emotionally attached with the children! The love grows as the baby grows, it's an attachment that can be detached! Never heard a man dying in hospital because he lost his girlfriend in labour ward NO, he will pick on the next & life continue to think! #presidentofsinglemothers IF ANY ONE WANTS HIS MOTHER TO BE NAMED LET THEM PROVIDE SHELTER & SOLUTION BEFORE YOU COMMIT! YOU COULD BE COMMITING YOUR DEATH SENTENCE FOR SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T DESERVE YOUR LOVE, lest you end up diagnosed of brain fatigue , sasa uko na matako tupu kama Akothee, ukiambiwa bedrest mtoto atakula nini?
