Celebrated Kenyan gospel singer, Emmy Kosgei has trashed reports of having ashamed and embarrassed the Kalenjin men, early last week.
The gospel icon was quoted saying no Kalenjin man ever came to seek her hand in marriage probably because most of them are introverted.
She felt men from her community needed to brave up when asking a girl out and never shy away from professing their love for a girl they adore because time might eventually run out.

However, soon after the news went viral and men from the Kenyan community came out lashing at her, she responded by saying never in her right mind would she ever bash her own.
During a Live Facebook interview, the ‘Taunet Nelel’ hitmaker expressed:
I think I have represented my community very well, locally and internationally to take the flag of Kalenjin culture and music. It shows how much I appreciate my people and what I do.
Further evidencing the fact that her dad is a very well respected elder of the Kalenjin community and she is therefore well-schooled in that capacity.
Additionally admitting that her 16-year public life taught her better than belittle another person, let alone her own people.
Also being a daughter of a very great and respected leader in Kalenjin community, that would actually tell my upbringing and I am well polished. And having been on public life for over 16 years now, I believe I can never go on a Live feed or interview and talk words that demean a community, leave alone my own tribe. I mean, even Kenyans at large, I can never do that.
Bashing the news as false while urging fans and the Kenyan mass at large to first establish facts before believing reports.
However, she articulated that what she said was targeted at having a positive impact and not to portray her people badly.
It’s unethical and I would urge my fans, followers and my brothers to just ignore and not be part of the gutter press and people that seek for selfish and ill motives. Let’s stay together and seek to know the facts. I think issues we were discussing were positive issues towards ourselves, my fans and the community.
Affirming:
I never said such words, I am a Christian and I am a Pastor’s kid. I could never mention such words.
