The Lotto crooner went on to reveal that she almost got into a physical altercation with one of her fans after they filmed her endlessly while she was out shopping with her family. Upon confrontation the fan is said to have become rude and aggressive.
“Someone tell me why some fans would meet you in a shop, not say Hi or a word., pretend like they have not seen you then immediately take out their phones and start recording you and taking pictures. When you notice them they hide. I almost went physical with one who became very rude to my sister-in-law who caught her with a whole movie of me and my family shopping. What Is going on?” said Akothee.
Despite Akothee’s current conflict with some of her fans, she has in the past expressed her undying love for them. When she hit 2million followers on social media in 2021, the vocal social media influencer appreciated her fans for their support adding that she wouldn’t get the same love from her fellow celebrities.

She Was Young At The Time, Tanasha Donna On Grudge With Bey T
Barely two years after Tanasha Donna and Bey T stormed the internet to fight over a catchphrase, Tanasha has finally given details on her beef with the rapper for the first time.
According to the musician, the misunderstanding came after they both disagreed on an issue.
In an interview with KISS FM, the musician cum entrepreneur said Bey T was young and was misled by people into instigating petty quarrels.
“Honestly speaking I think it was just a misunderstanding, it started over a quote, the ‘Kenya to the world’ thing. And I like she was young at the time and like people tried instigating drama. You know how people can be… people can easily corrupt one’s mind, especially when there is nothing going on,” she said.
According to Tanasha, it is easy to have the feeling that people are out to kill your shine when starting, especially as a young girl in a competitive industry.
“Talking from experience as a young girl you can feel easily like people are out to get you or steal your shine…but I feel like she’s a great artist so she was trying to spit some bars which she is amazing at and I’ll give her credit for that,” she added.
The mother of one confirmed that they have a good relationship following their beef and now are both open to the idea of collaborating with Bey T even though the two have never met yet.
“Why not? I mean I like her music and she’s amazing. Plus, right now, we’re at a good place, we haven’t really met but we have people in common whom we work with,” she said.
Amid their banter, Bey T went ahead to drop a diss track called ‘Don to the Donna’ attacking Tanasha for allegedly sampling her music in 2019.
“Someone tell Tanasha to stop wave riding,” Bey T wrote on Instagram at the time.
According to the rapper, the phrase “Kenya to the World” originated from her, but Tanasha stole it.
