Chris Embarambamba, a controversial gospel musician, stirred up the internet after releasing a new song, "Nataka Kunyonywa."
The Kisii Gospel performer has sparked a sizable internet debate, and many online users are now asking for his cancellation.
In the song, Embarambamba sings of wanting to be "licked" by God.
The song's lyrics contain phrases like "I want to be licked... I need to be licked; thus, I want God to lick both sides. One to lick me, who? God is all, and He will atone for all of your faults.

Netizens have responded to the publication of this new song in various ways, with some criticizing him for being blasphemous.
While some find amusement in the strange words of the song and laugh out together, others express profound sadness in Embarambamba's nonconformist approach to gospel music.
Below are some comments:
"Quite embarrassing. The churches that give him audience to perform should have been shut down a long time ago even before the Shakaholic ministries and their pastors banished from ministry.If this kind of irreverence happened within the other Abrahamic religions,the punishment would have been unimaginable. I wish there was a way to compel artists to seek approval from a regulatory authority before releasing any song or video to the market.
"He is a content creator and not a gospel musician. He should be called out for using God's name in vain."
"This is just immorality. It's not gospel and I expect gospel artists to protest for the song to be classified as secular and the name God removed."
"The guy is in business. He knows the kind of product which sales and spreads like wild fires 🔥."
Most of the online community has been making fun of Embarambamba; some have even claimed he is a disgrace to his Kisii community.
