Kenyan gospel singer Justina Syokau has  stated that she has heeded calls from Kenyans and would not release 2024 song as she had anticipated.

Justina who is known for releasing songs named after every new year, revealed that Kenyans asked her to take a break this time.

speaking in a recent interview on Mutembei TV, Syokau noted that she had received multiple petitions from a section of Kenyans imploring her not to sing about 2024.

“Kuna watu wana complain sana by the way. Watu wanasema ati ohh 2024 usiimbe, watu wanasema nisiprovoke mwaka. Watu wanaseme ati niache 2024 ikuje unprovoked, nisiimbie 2024.”

The musician said that she does not jinx the year as some people accused her.

Justina Syokau insisted that she was not to be blamed for the misery that befell some people during the year 2023 that made them think her singing about 2024 could cause them to suffer similar ordeal.

"Nataka kuambia Wakenya yakwamba mimi kama Justina Syokau I am not going to provoke the year, not only provoking mimi sitawarogea mwaka na sirogangi. Watu wananiwekelea shida zoa na nantaka kuwaambia kwamba mimi siimbi 2024 song. Na tafadhali nataka muwe na amani kwa sababu ata nkienda town sina amani watu wananikimbiza ‘usitoe wimbo wa 2024’. Jamani mimi si mwenye nimekuletea shida."
