Marua also received a shoulder of support from singer Akothee, real name Esther Akothee.

“Shoot your shot, the attire she wore is the best. Mine would be a bit shorter with half of my breasts out. Music is for the eyes and ears, people see and listen to music. I was only taught to clap at others when they are winning,” she opined.
