Kamba Urban musician Celian Mwikali has hit back at fans questioning her dressing after sharing revealing photos on social media, telling critics to stop judging her against standards associated with gospel artists.
In a blunt message to her followers, the singer made it clear that she does not identify as a gospel musician and has no intention of presenting herself as one, insisting that her artistic identity is firmly rooted in Kamba Urban music.
“And please for the last time NGAI anewe ndaîa my fans I don’t do gospel 🙏🙏🙏🙏 am not a gospel artist am a KAMBA URBAN ARTIST. Hizo comments za ati unavaa hivi na wewe ni gospel artists please nisizione tena nimetangaza msimamo,” she wrote.

Her response came after some social media users questioned her fashion choices following the circulation of the photos, with comments suggesting that her dressing was inconsistent with the image expected of a gospel artist.
But Celian was having none of it, making it clear that she does not want such comparisons or criticism based on an identity she says does not represent her music.
The outspoken declaration comes just days after the musician held the launch of her Focus album at Expressway Lounge on Saturday, November 7, in what marked an important moment in her Kamba Urban music journey.
The album launch had placed the singer in the spotlight, but her latest social media statement has added another layer to the conversation around her music, public image and relationship with her fans.
By openly rejecting the gospel label, Celian appears determined to define her own artistic identity while asking followers to separate her music from expectations they may have about how she should dress.
For now, her message to critics is unmistakable: she is a Kamba Urban artist, and she wants to be treated as one.
