Media personality Azziad Nasenya on Monday responded to a person who criticised the content she posts on her online pages.
Azziad, who shot to fame in 2020 for a viral TikTok video set to Mejja & Femi One's 'Utawezana', has amassed a significant following on social media, particularly among young people.
In a post shared on February 25, a Twitter user identified as Brenda Makena criticised Azziad's work, accusing her of creating indecent content which lacks educational or informational value.
"The reason why I don’t follow Azziad in any of her socials is because her content is over-s*xualized and there’s nothing to learn or any value added from anything she posts. Call me a hater, but it’s the truth," read the tweet by Brenda.
