Akothee contemplating defamation lawsuit over Dennis Karuri claims of being rude

Kenyan singer-cum-businesswoman Akothee has responded to makeup artist Dennis Karuri who claimed she is the rudest client he has ever worked with.

Karuri, while speaking on comedian Obinna’s KulaCooler show, had alleged that he suffered at the hands of the self-proclaimed president of single mothers.

According to Karuri, the singer compared the face makeup he had done for her to dust, implying that his skills were in question.

Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, Akothee rubbished the claims while posting a screenshot of the definition of defamation, intimating that the issue could take a legal turn.

“It's easy nowadays. I am dealing with my health & how my money can work for me, I have no time for dealing with clout chasers, someone will deal with it,” wrote Akothee.

She further said that dealing with her sickness had rendered her unable to be part of social media squabbles.

"I don't need your private apology, just finish it the way you started it! This time sickness has humbled me, sina nguvu ya kupigana online. Naweza kuwa napigana na mchawi, aniregeshe kitandani. There is no news,” Akothee said.

The singer went on to say that she will not use her already branded name to elevate other social media channels.

 “I will not build a brand to elevate your channels, just post your work and let my name rest. Call police,” she said.
