Controversial singer Esther Akoth popularly known as Akothee has slammed African women, over what she has termed as being jealous of each other.
Taking to her official Instagram account, Akothee questioned why African women find it hard to support one another while referencing the relationship between US first ladies after their photo went viral.
The boss lady posted a picture of Kamala Harris, Michelle Obama and DR Jill Biden and asked women to put aside jealousy and embrace love and not hatred.
Her post brought about different reactions from fans with some wondering how the reality would be possible, others agreed with her unwillingly.
Mama Rue however posted a picture of the former US first lady Michelle Obama, the incoming one, DR Jill Biden and the new vice president Kamala Harris.
She then captioned the photos with statements that started a conversation on what it would take to have African women love and support each other. She wrote:
“This could be us African women in Africa 22 ,but the witchcraft on this streets will not allow another woman support women seat to bring change , all they see is competition . These are Women girls are in competition . And nobody should insult me since I have not mentioned anyone. I am not talking to you.”

”Madam boss you have nailed it as always…. The Americans inherited the Abel’s blood n Africans got Cain’s as written in Bible.”
@Jeddy Gibbs Ohanga said:
”These women are supported by their husband’s and the circle’s their husband’s are in. Here in Africa-Kenya, husband’s wants wives to submit and stick to wifely duties. If you try to grow, you are branded hard headed and a competition. Anyway, what do I know? Women voters are more but they only vote for men, why? Because no man is behind a woman who wants to be a leader. Women also luck financial muscle coz money is with men. The question is how do we rise on our own?”
