It’s a bad day to be gospel artist Chris Embarambamba. This man attracted massive followers on social media after videos of him dancing madly in mud went viral, leading many to question his sanity. Well, another video has gone viral, and this time, he is not in mud but in a club 'dirty dancing' with a woman and one of his male dancers on stage. The video that has sent netizens talking was recently taken in an undisclosed club where the artist had allegedly gone to perform. In the video, Embarambamba engages in an obscene dance with several people, including his male dancer, while fans cheer on.
This video set Twitter on fire, with Kenyans on Twitter choosing violence. Many stated that Embarambamba had gone too far in clout chasing to the point of losing his focus on who he really is and the type of music he does. Journalist Lofty Matambo who is among the many media personalities that gave him a platform to be known, went ahead to state that he is embarrassed by the artist who is nowhere close to who he purports to be.
Moral cop Ezekiel Mutua also addressed the online nation on this, terming Embarambamba’s actions as gross.
“Embarambamba…that’s gross. You have crossed the line!”
Many are asking for legal action to be taken against the artist who, according to them, violated his dancer on stage in the name of entertainment. What is bewildering, however, is the fact that all those involved in the 'violation' can visibly be seen in the video going along with it. In fact, the lady gets up and continues dancing and cheering on like it's not a big deal.
Before fame, Embarambamba was a struggling musician. Many believed that there was a story behind his vigorous dancing and unique way of chasing clout. In one of the many interviews, he stated that he needed financial assistance to grow musically, and this is how he got a deal with one of the leading detergent companies in Kenya. Things were looking up for him until yesterday when they went south with the 'dirty video.' He has not even reached the peak of his career; no major collabos, no major endorsement, and at the moment, even the fate of his music career is unknown.
He is a married man with children and has, on many occasions, professed his love for his wife, who stands by him through everything, including his muddy situations. Will she stand by him through this? Maybe... He is yet to address the matter.
