The video caused an uproar among netizens, with a section calling for the arrest of the gospel singer over what they termed as traumatizing his young daughter.

Media personality Carolina Carlz joined the conversation castigating Kasolo’s actions while calling for his arrest.

“He should be behind bars! What the actual fck! This is not normal and we shouldn't normalize and laugh about it. Imagine if you were that child? If someone threatens to kill you, do you go and report to a police station? Yes. This baby can't! But you can do it for her. He's not fit to be a parent! Are we going to wait till he actually kills the baby to talk? We should make noise till he's arrested and charged,” she said.
