Tanzanian singer Zuchu has dismissed claims that she was booed by Kenyans during her performance at Kasarani Stadium, describing the trending videos as edited propaganda meant to tarnish her image.
A clip has been circulating online showing a crowd loudly singing Kenya’s national anthem, which some users are alleging it was an act of protest against Zuchu’s set.
The video sparked mixed reactions on social media, prompting the WCB star to come out and set the record straight.
Taking to Instagram, Zuchu questioned the authenticity of the claims, saying:
“Hii fact mmeipata wapi? Kwa kutumia video ya uzushi iliovaliwa sauti juu? Yani kama waandishi hamjui level ya sauti ya stadium sasa mbona wimbo ulikua hausikii? Show yangu iko YouTube na ilikuwa live. Laiti kungekuwa na hiko mnachokisema, yaani live nzima ingekosa hio moment?”
She went on to call out bloggers and media outlets for spreading misinformation without verifying facts .
“Mnatakiwa mbadilike kwanza nyie waandishi mlio kosa mantiki na kukosa research… hakuna hio moment mnasema. Ila tu nyota niliyoiona ni ya kuzuia controversy na kutengeneza uzushi.”
Despite the backlash, Zuchu maintained that her brand and reputation remain intact, crediting her faith and supporters:
“Huyu Zuchu haangushwi na watu wanne wa mitandao. Brand hii inashikiliwa na Mungu na hard fans.”
She ended her response with a sharp remark to critics, saying they only had “15 minutes of fame” from the fabricated story and urged them to enjoy it while it lasts.
