Tanzanian singer Nandy landed in trouble after a photo and video she recently shared on Instagram went against the community guidelines.

⁣⁣The photo which has since been deleted showed Nandy hanging from the top of a tree with a rope around her neck.

Most of her fans attacked her for that as they speculate it might be a photo to promote her upcoming song or from her role in Maisha Magic Bongo drama series 'Huba'.⁣

Nandy, through her Insta stories, said it was quickly blown out of proportion by her fans without trying to understand what she was up to.⁣

"Some of my fans are very impatient with things," she wrote.

"Everything they see, they think it is clout chasing. I am a mirror of society and I use my talent to educate and not to destroy. How can I clout-chase with death? I am not about that childish life with my brand.

"Please learn to be patient with people na kupunguza ujuaji mwingi. There is something I'm about to announce, so be patient."

⁣The songstress added that she is willing to do a radio interview to set the record straight.⁣

"Instagram doesn't want me to speak my truth."

Instagram regulations forbid jokes, photos or videos that are sexist, racist, insensitive or homophobic.
