One of the things that amuse Newton Kariuki is when people ask why he hates women. It is a question he has heard too many times, from the first time he released a song about a woman named Muthoni. 

Karish, as he is known, likened her to a broom that sweeps everything and a call box that accepts every call as a euphemism to her adulterous ways. Some listeners thought the lyrics were extreme, especially the part where he calls her useless among other unpalatable words.
