Recently, Embarambamba caused a stir on social media with a video in which he wore a tiny beige miniskirt and performed a cheeky dance for the camera.
Dressed in vibrant red sneakers and a matching top, he joyfully showcased the idiosyncrasies that initially made him popular among his audience.
In response to the video and the criticism it garnered, Embarambamba defended his approach.
“This is comedy in the gospel. Being a devout Christian doesn’t mean I cannot incorporate humor into my content. Furthermore, if I don’t create content that attracts my followers, nobody will support me.”
The artist also highlighted that his home community is accustomed to his unique style and performances.
They fully embrace his dances, even in unconventional settings or when he wears unconventional outfits such as a skirt.
Embarambamba expressed gratitude for the unwavering support he receives from his local community.
