I'm not mentally ill, its just comedy and music- Embarambamba

I'm not mentally ill, its just comedy and music- Embarambamba

Controversial gospel singer Chris Mosioma, popularly known as Embarambamba, has responded to claims that he is battling mental issues. 

This is after yet another of his skits went viral after he wore miniskirts and dresses while releasing his otherwise not so appealing songs. 

In an interview with the Nation, Embarambamba said his comedy is infused with music, all aimed at attracting more followers to his side and earning him a living.

"Some have alluded to the fact that I have joined the LGBTQ+ community with my latest antics. No I haven't. This is just comedy and music and that is my style."

He added: " Wearing dresses is not a bad thing. That is my way of selling my content. We are in a digital era and we have to be creative to sell out there. Those asking why I am invited to different church functions don't understand that we are all worshipping God in our own different ways."

Embarambamba has been the center of ridicule from a majority of the online community, some even saying he is an embarrassment to his Kisii community. 

But he denies this, reiterating that comedy comes in different ways and this is his style.

"I'm not embarrassing the Kisii people. Those who know me know that I am trying to put food on the table and also worship God. Of course Kisii men don't wear dresses but this is just acting," he said.

Embarambamba shot to the limelight when videos of him rolling in the mud in coloured suits started emerging online. 

Initially, his signature suits were made of polka dots, but he has since graduated to skirts and dresses.
