Akothee- The entertainment genius
No one has finessed the art of entertainment in modern day times like #MadamSumbuaTarrif! Akothee.
She has the brains of a Tzee entertainer and everyone needs to take notes if they want to remain relevant in this age and era! She has understood the subtle art of entertainment and she is running with it!
This woman wakes up with calculated moves in her head and she strategizes on how she’ll get everyone talking!
She calculatedly incorporated Diamond Platinumz and Flavour in her music and this propelled her to the next level both locally and internationally. If you’ve ever attended one of her shows then you know she’s a show stopper! She possesses the moves of an exotic dancer and this compensates her weak points!
Her family of five is not a secret and everyone who follows her on her various social platforms knows that she has three different baby daddies and she owns her truth!.
She has become a demi god to most baby mama’s and a source of criticism to her haters but this gunners her numbers and her huge following on social media which in turn also lands her deals as brand ambassador for different companies including famous phone company Tecno and local airline Silverstone Air. Look at that!
Her newest ‘sauce’ of entertainment is her new found love! Our timelines are flooded with photos of these two love birds. The photos are skilfully accompanied with the #AkotheeSafaris just to sell something that’s of more importance to both Akothee and her manager. The mullah! How genius is that?
At this point we are slow clapping at the fact that her wit full captions on Instagram have created the impression that she is head over heels in love. Critics and haters can’t wait for them to call it quits. Meanwhile her ardent supporters are routing for them and this increases her popularity on the gram day in day out!
Akothee is the kind of woman who will call her relationship quits and use the situation to her advantage. She’ll bag numerous interviews and then use the opportunity to release a song or to talk about her business. She’ll use the opportunity to market whatever requires her financial attention at the moment!
Akothee’s entertainment is five star and extremely strategic. She doesn’t do things for the sake of doing them. She knows that entertainment is a business and she will do anything to remain relevant in the present! We need more Akothee’s if our industry is to grow to a whole other level!
