Former Starehe Member of Parliament Charles Njagua alias Jaguar, currently the Youth Affairs Chief Administrative Secretary, has doubled down on his beef with singer Esther ‘Akothee’ Akoth over who is the wealthier star.
Soon after releasing his new song “Unthinkable”, featuring Bongo star Lava Lava, Jaguar embarked on a media charm offensive, and, while at it, ended up offending a number of his musical contemporaries.
At first, Jaguar touted his wealth and claimed that he was much wealthier than most of East Africa’s musical stars including Akothee and Tanzania’s Harmonize.
Jaguar, while reacting to a news article which placed the two stars above him financially, rubbished Akothee’s wealth and claimed that she didn’t deserve to be above him on the list.The ‘Kigeugeu’ singer also said that if Akothee and Harmonize were indeed wealthier than him he would retire from music and step down from his CAS position.
“If you look at the list I have been in the industry for more than 15 years. But I swear if Akothee and Harmonize are wealthier than me, I can quit music. They pick things they see like Range Rovers. I have done a lot of things, I am not bragging,” Jaguar told YouTubers.
In a perfect rejoinder, Akothee blasted the ‘Kipepeo’ hitmaker for his conceitedness, asking him to be humble and refrain from “bragging with taxpayers’ money.”
”Let me not here (sic) any politician bragging with taxpayers’ money ati riches… Riches kitu Gani? Those business flight tickets and choppers are paid by the government not your personal money! ” she ranted on Instagram.
“While people’s children can’t even afford school fee. All this charity you people do online is for PR. Always waiting for something trending to hope on so you can hit headlines because the rest of the days you are irrelevant!”
Just when everyone thought that the fight had taken a break, Akothee, ever indefatigable, struck yet again, questioning Jaguar’s manhood and blasting him for picking a fight “with a woman”.
“Any man comparing himself with women has an identity crisis. Nitawatandika mnikome,” she posted.
Now, Jaguar has flashed his claws yet again, taking to Instagram to warn Akothee to keep off the attacks or face the fate she’s so badly courting.Using words popularized by infamous cult leader Pastor Paul Mackenzie, Jaguar went straight for the jugular.
“Unachokipigania hukijui, kitakuramba A**thee….,” he posted on Instagram.
….And this comes even as Konde Boy honcho Harmonize blasted Jaguar for his sentiments which, evidently, didn’t sit down well with him either.
