Justina Syokau Defends Her Dance Moves Amid Criticism from Kenyans

Gospel singer Justina Syokau has once again sparked online debate after a video of her twerking at Mueni Bolo’s event went viral. Known for her controversial persona in the gospel scene, Syokau faced mixed reactions from Kenyans, with some questioning whether she has drifted from gospel music to secular entertainment. Fans and critics alike took to social media to comment on her dance moves, with remarks ranging from shock to humour. Responding to the backlash, Syokau defended her performance by saying that every part of her body belongs to God and that dancing in praise is a way of worship, citing the biblical example of King David dancing until his clothes fell off. She emphasised that she has always served God, even during challenging times, and encouraged others to freely express their worship through dance. This incident follows previous controversies surrounding her music and public appearances, but Syokau remains steadfast in her career and personal approach to worship. She also addressed criticism of her 2025 song, asking Kenyans to point out the exact parts they dislike, showing her openness to constructive feedback while standing by her artistic choices.
