Gospel artist Daddy Owen has recently shared his frustration after becoming the target of public backlash.
According to the musician, his personal contacts were leaked online, subjecting him to a flood of calls and messages from Kenyans, a phenomenon netizens have humorously referred to as “kusalimiwa”
Daddy Owen said that the messages ranged from harsh criticism to genuine inquiries.
Some accused him of being a sellout for agreeing to perform at the national holiday celebrations led by President William Ruto.
However, others reached out respectfully, seeking to understand his decision to participate in the event.
“Yesterday, I was greeted by Kenyans! Sema kusalimiwa! Gaitho shared my number so I could be greeted! My phone was blowing up with calls, texts, WhatsApp messages, and even a ton of Mpesa transactions,” Daddy Owen shared.
He further noted that he took the time to return some calls, leading to meaningful conversations with a few individuals.
“The abuse was next level! But some were very understanding, and we ended up having great chats.”
