Guardian Angel Showcases Farming Success
Guardian Angel recently shared images of his onion harvest, reportedly amounting to about 350 tonnes.
The produce has been estimated to be worth more than KSh19 million based on prevailing wholesale prices.
The harvest has drawn attention to Guardian Angel’s agricultural investment outside his music career.
Akothee Praises the Move
Akothee praised Guardian Angel for investing in farming and urged other celebrities to consider similar ventures.
She argued that artists should not depend entirely on entertainment income, which can become unpredictable as careers change.
According to Akothee, building businesses and acquiring productive assets can provide financial stability after an artist’s time in the spotlight.
Warning Against Flashy Lifestyles
Akothee also criticised celebrities who focus on maintaining expensive lifestyles without building sustainable sources of income.
She warned that appearing wealthy while struggling to meet basic expenses can eventually damage an artist’s career.
She encouraged entertainers to prioritise investments over unnecessary spending.
Artists Urged to Build Strong Brands
The musician also identified management, branding, investment and understanding one’s value as key areas for artists.
She said building a successful brand requires discipline, resources and proper strategy.
Akothee maintained that artists can invest in businesses without abandoning their careers.
Farming Gains Attention Among Celebrities
Guardian Angel’s onion project adds to the growing number of Kenyan entertainers exploring agriculture and entrepreneurship.
For Akothee, such investments can help artists create income streams that remain useful even when their music careers slow down.
