Eccentric artist Embarambamba has voiced his disapproval of fellow musician William Getumbe’s latest song, ‘Yesu Ninyandue’.
Known for his unorthodox performances, Embarambamba minced no words in expressing his concerns over the controversial track.
n a recent interview, Embarambamba criticized Getumbe for what he perceived as crossing boundaries with the song’s lyrics, deeming them inappropriate for their portrayal of religious themes.
The track, ‘Yesu Ninyandue’, raised eyebrows among listeners, prompting Embarambamba to distance himself from its creation.
During the interview, Embarambamba took the opportunity to apologize to Kenyans for any confusion caused by the song, clarifying that he had no involvement in its production.
Despite having collaborated with Getumbe on previous projects, Embarambamba emphasized that ‘Yesu Ninyandue’ was not one of them.
He asserted that had he been involved, he would have intervened to prevent the song from being released, citing the need to uphold respect for religious sentiments.
Let me apologise to Kenyans. People didn’t understand that the Yesu Ninyandue hitmaker was not Embarambamba. That is a different artiste. He is a Luhya. We have done some songs with him but this one I wasn’t with him. If I were there, I wouldn’t have allowed him to sing that song because I could have limited him. Truth be told, he made a mistake. You can’t say you want to sleep with Jesus so that you conceive. There are things you don’t joke with and you must respect God. That song depicts God as an immoral being. You can’t joke with God,” Embarambamba told TUKO.CO.KE,
Meanwhile, the controversial gospel song, ‘Yesu Ninyandue’, has been removed from YouTube.
The decision came after an outcry from Kenyans who found the song’s lyrics to be vulgar and perceived it as a mockery of Christianity.
KFCB (Kenya Film Classification Board) took action by sending a demand letter to the song’s owner, William Getumbe, urging him to delete the song from various online platforms.
“A demand letter has been issued to Embarambamba and Getumbe to remove any inappropriate content from their various platforms. Failure to comply will result in legal action in accordance with the Films and Stage Plays Act Cap 222 of the Laws of Kenya.”
