DJ Kezz, a rising star in the Kenyan entertainment scene, has recently found herself at the center of a heated online debate, drawing criticism from members of the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) community for her conduct during club performances. As an SDA member, Kezz has raised eyebrows by performing in pubs while wearing the distinctive Pathfinder uniform, a move that many Adventists believe goes against the church’s values and norms.
The controversy stems from Kezz’s choice to don the Pathfinder dress code—a symbol traditionally associated with the youth ministry of the SDA church—while DJing in nightclubs. Critics argue that the sacred attire should not be used in such settings, particularly in environments where alcohol is being consumed and the atmosphere is far removed from the church’s teachings.
Adding to the controversy, DJ Kezz has also been playing SDA choir songs during her sets, further blurring the lines between her religious faith and her profession. Videos circulating online have shown her mingling with fans, many of whom are seen drinking alcohol, even on the dance floor where she is performing. These actions have sparked a wave of backlash from the online community, with many questioning the appropriateness of her behavior as a member of the SDA church.
Despite the mounting criticism, DJ Kezz remains unapologetic about her choices. In a recent interview on the Oga Obinna Show, she addressed the controversy head-on, emphasizing that her work as a DJ is a hobby she enjoys and that it does not detract from her faith.
“I am a church girl, and I enjoy what I do. I am a faithful Christian, and I respect the Adventist faith. I respect myself too,” Kezz stated, defending her actions. She further disclosed a personal detail that has sparked even more discussion: “Hii Ring yangu is a purity Ring meaning no sex until marriage! Ndiyo unioe lazima tudate kwanza for two years,” she said, revealing that she wears a purity ring as a commitment to abstinence until marriage.
This revelation has only fueled the debate, with many pointing out the perceived contradiction between her public persona and the environment in which she works. The fact that she is often seen enjoying time with male fans in a nightclub setting has led some to question the sincerity of her claims, while others have come to her defense, arguing that personal faith and professional life can coexist, even in unconventional ways.
DJ Kezz’s story has become a flashpoint in discussions about the intersection of faith, culture, and modern entertainment.
