Ezekiel Mutua, the CEO of the Music Copyright Society of Kenya (MCSK), has expressed his criticism of the popular hit song “Kaskie Vibaya” by Fathermoh and Ssaru.
Ezekiel Mutua has voiced his concern about musicians creating songs that lack moral values.
Specifically highlighting the aforementioned song, he has stated that it does not inspire but instead reflects cultural and moral decay in society.
Mutua has pointed out lyrics such as “Niko napesa na ni ya babako” (I have money and it belongs to your father), where a girl sings to her ex-boyfriend, suggesting that she is now dating his father and flaunting her newfound wealth.
He has expressed his concern about the message being conveyed and questioned the impact it might have on younger listeners.
The MCSK CEO has further advised secular artists to compose songs that do not promote hatred or undermine societal morals.
He has emphasized the importance of creating music that inspires, motivates, educates, and instills a sense of hope.
Mutua also has encouraged artists to be a source of light and peace of mind in the world, rather than pursuing popularity that does not translate into real wealth.
I don’t mean that secular artists should not sing that but those are not the kind of things we want to promote as a way of life.
Do not promote hate, Be the light and the peace of mind needed in the world. Rather than get likes that do not translate to wealth.
Let us have an introspection
People are going through a lot.
Did you hear the song about the lady singing about ‘Niko napesa na ni ya babako?
The song is about this girl who is singing to the ex- boyfriend and she says now I’m dating your father and nikona pesa na ni ya babako nenda ukasikie vibaya huko.
I’m like alright what are you telling my daughter? Really!?
