The Double Standards Kenyans Hold Against Artists Paid by Government Events

In Kenya, public sentiment towards the government is at an all-time low. Skyrocketing taxes, economic hardship, and frequent scandals have fueled an anti-government wave—especially among the youth. So when an artist performs at a state-sponsored event, the backlash is often swift, harsh, and deeply emotional. But this public outrage exposes a deeper contradiction in how we treat our creatives: we want them to thrive, but only on our terms. Recently, […]
