Kenyan gospel singer Justina Syokau has stated that she has heeded Kenyans' calls and will not release the 2024 song as planned.
Justina, known for releasing songs titled after each new year, revealed that Kenyans requested she take a break this time.
In a recent interview with Mutembei TV, Syokau stated that she had received numerous petitions from Kenyans pleading with 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."

As some have claimed, the musician said she does not jinx the year.
Justina Syokau insisted she was not to blame for the misery that befell some people in 2023, leading them to believe that her singing about 2024 would cause them to go through a 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."
