Kenyan gospel musician Ruth K has lauded Willy Paul, describing him as an international artist who deserves more love and appreciation from Kenyans. Speaking during a recent interview, Ruth K highlighted Willy Paul’s achievements and global reach in the music industry.
“Willy Paul is an international artist, but I feel like people in Kenya don’t give him enough flowers. He’s done so well, yet people don’t appreciate him enough despite his global recognition,” Ruth K said.
Ruth K’s comments come amid ongoing discussions about local artists receiving recognition in their home country versus abroad. Willy Paul, known for hits across gospel and secular music, has collaborated with several international artists and has a growing global fanbase.
Fans and industry observers have noted that while Willy Paul enjoys widespread popularity internationally, local appreciation sometimes falls short. Ruth K’s statement seeks to remind Kenyans to celebrate their artists who have succeeded on a global scale.
Her praise underscores the importance of acknowledging the hard work and talent of homegrown musicians who continue to represent Kenya on international platforms.
