Eko Dydda’s new song, Am Very Rare, was released September 19 to much love from fans, but several harsh critics have seen the artiste speak out.
The gospel singer captured screenshots of YouTube comments that questioned how “Christian” or “gospel” the track is.
One critic accused the artiste of showing satanic symbolism in his video, writing: “Jesus they’ve got Eko Dydda too… we get the message sir, the subtle 666 signs you are throwing in the video…”
Eko Dydda responded by probing his logic.
“Where is the devil in that introduction?” he posed.
“I woke up to this comment on YouTube concerning my latest song “Am Very Rare“. Yani wakristo nani alituroga? We see the devil in everything. Na watu wakitoka gospel tena you complain. [And yet when artistes leave Gospel you’ll complain.]”
When another person claimed that the new video had signs of an illuminati initiation ritual, Eko Dydda fumed.
He took to Instagram to write a lengthy note to fans and critics, where he called for support of Gospel artistes and for his Christian fans to have some introspection.
“Nime notice kuna watu wakiskia tu beat ya hip-hop wanajipata negativity button on,” he wrote, noting that people were more critical of him because Hip-hop is his style of Gospel.
“Lakini nani aliroga wakristo, why are you obsessed about the devil, how could you be looking for the devil even in heaven? Which number six are you forcing here?”
The Gospel rapper doubled down on his defense, claiming that if he was into what people accused him of, it would have caught up with him by now.
“You think there is anything that the devil owns that he’s so rich that has to attract all? For your information, Yahweh owns everything and He has been with me, He is with me and will always be with me. I don’t need anything from anywhere else sawa?”
He then took it as a moment of ministry writing: “I am satisfied with what my lord and saviour Jesus Christ offered me.”
“By the way, are all the triangles and number six owned by the devil?”
Eko Dydda rose to fame with the 2009 hit song Niko Na Reason, which featured Holy Dave, along with many beloved tracks which followed, including Me And My House and Ghetto.
Boomplay reports in a biography that he is famously known for his unique singing style “Stagger” in Kenyan Gospel music.
