Singer and businesswoman Akothee has issued a powerful and emotional statement following reports that the daughter of former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko had allegedly been subjected to domestic violence. The news, which sparked a massive national discussion on Gender-Based Violence (GBV), prompted Akothee to speak out on the accountability of partners.

Known for her outspoken nature and raw honesty, Akothee’s message was a heartfelt call for respect and the immediate protection of young women in relationships, emphasizing that no woman, especially a daughter, deserves to suffer in silence.

Akothee’s impassioned plea mirrored the worry of many parents who watch their children endure pain in private relationships. She directed her frustration at partners who mistreat those they claim to love, firmly reminding them that love should never escalate to violence.

Her viral statement, shared in a graphic, read:

“If love between you and my daughter is over, please release her to come back to me. I have built mansions and accumulated wealth for my children! The only thing I cannot give them is that one only thing we get from men I don’t have!” – Akothee

The message quickly resonated with fans, who applauded her for being bold and standing up for victims of abuse. Many commenters noted that Akothee’s strong words reflect the reality faced by countless families who helplessly watch their daughters suffer behind closed doors, often afraid to speak out.

Kenyan music star and business mogul Esther Akoth (Akothee) has finally spoken out after days of worry from fans following a frightening medical scare that landed her in hospital earlier this month.

In classic Akothee fashion, she returned to social media with humour blazing, sharing photos and videos on Facebook and joking:

“Wacha nijicheke 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣… Ngoja nikanyage chini mtanijua na zile handkerchiefs zangu 😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣 I forgot how to walk yoo.”

But behind the laughter was a firm message to the public: leave her children out of it.

“Guys, my children have panicked. Please don’t ask them how I am doing, I am well, sawa? Ignore hiyo story ukiwaona.”

Her posts marked the first time she addressed the terrifying medical episode that had fans fearing the worst.

Fans Celebrate Her Comeback

The comment section exploded with relief as Kenyans welcomed her back with love, prayer, and playful well-wishes:

• Nyanyo Akoonge: “May the wifi of quick recovery be connected faster.”

• Christine Mutanu: “Healing is your portion, Akothee.”

• Terry Njeri: “May God heal you. I’ve learnt so much from you… you motivated me when I was down.”

Many applauded her resilience and humour, noting that even the unstoppable Madam Boss sometimes needs to pause and heal.

What Really Happened: A Terrifying Night

Akothee had earlier shared the blow-by-blow of the night everything went wrong.
On November 9, posting from her hospital bed, she revealed she had collapsed in her washroom after a night of brutal stomach pain, vomiting, and diarrhoea.

The trigger, she said, was a disturbing video involving a young girl in her home — a clip that left her deeply shaken.

“I was so terrified I literally went into labour,” she wrote.

By 5:00 a.m., the pain was unbearable. Her children rushed her to hospital — only to collide with what she described as shocking coldness from the nurse on duty.

“Instead of showing compassion, she raised her voice and told them, ‘Go outside and wait in front there.’”

Her daughter Vesha reportedly pleaded for assistance as Akothee struggled to sit in a wheelchair.
She eventually received treatment and “felt some relief,” though she said her stomach remained “tired and very painful.”

Long-Term Health Battles

This wasn’t an isolated scare. Akothee recently revealed she’s been fighting a cocktail of serious medical issues — among them:

• Blood clot (location yet to be identified)

• Severe migraines

• Uterine fibroids

She also disclosed that previous medication caused her to lose consciousness for three hours.

In a candid statement last month, she said she has deliberately stepped back from the spotlight:

“I have come out of a very dangerous zone, and I have been healing in private. I am in my second month of therapy.”

The singer called this her “healing era” — a period focused on recovery, mental wellness, and taking back control of her health.

Kenyan music star Akothee was rushed to the emergency room by her children this morning after experiencing a night of agonizing and severe abdominal pain, which she believes was triggered by seeing a “disturbing video of a young girl” in her home area.

The singer, who has often spoken about managing chronic health issues, described the harrowing ordeal, which tragically included a near-death moment and a shocking lack of compassion from a medical professional.

A Night of Agony

Akothee detailed how the emotional stress from the video instantly led to severe physical symptoms that felt like she was “literally went into labour.” From midnight, she suffered from uncontrollable vomiting, diarrhea, burning acidity, and unbearable stomach pain, forcing her to sleep in the toilet.

“At around 5.00 am, I couldn’t bear it anymore,” she recounted. “I rolled off, trying to reach their door while screaming in pain, that’s what finally woke them up.”

Her children found her on the toilet floor in a distressing state and rushed her to the hospital’s emergency wing at 6:00 a.m.

The Heartbreaking Encounter

Instead of immediate relief, Akothee and her daughters were met with a nurse who displayed a cold and unsympathetic attitude. Seeing their mother in unbearable pain, her daughters “kindly asked if the nurse could give me something for the pain.”

The nurse’s response was sharp and dismissive: “Go outside and wait in front there.”

Akothee, barely able to sit up, said the moment forced her to momentarily forget her pain to defend her children, who were simply trying to help. When she expressed that she would rather seek another hospital because the pain was so intense that she “just wanted to die,” the nurse’s reply was chillingly indifferent: “You are free to go,” before abandoning them.

Her daughter, Vesha, even resorted to begging the nurse, but Akothee’s trust was broken, telling her children to leave, fearing the nurse might even inject her “for good.”

Focusing on Survival

Akothee called the experience “heartbreaking,” lamenting that she was helpless, in crippling pain, and still had to defend her children in a place meant for care.

She later confirmed that she eventually received medication, which provided some relief, though her stomach remains painful and “tired.” She ended her post with a powerful resolve: “May I get well to protect my children.”

Musician and entrepreneur Akothee has publicly come to the defense of TikToker Azziad Nasenya following reports that Azziad’s Ksh25 million apartment in Kileleshwa is facing auction. In an open letter penned on social media, Akothee fiercely criticized the public for mocking the young content creator’s alleged financial struggles.

Akothee began her lengthy post by expressing her respect and admiration for Azziad’s ambition.

“Let’s stop bullying Azziad, pick a struggle! First and foremost, I respect and love this girl even more for dreaming bigger. That’s exactly the way to go,” she wrote.

Celebrating Courage, Condemning Critics

Akothee argued that the public should celebrate Azziad’s courage for taking a significant financial risk at a young age.

“At just 25 years old, Azziad can acquire a loan and buy herself a house. That’s commendable!” she stated, suggesting that Azziad’s situation simply reflects the reality that many Kenyans rely on loans.

She went on to hit back directly at critics, particularly men who were mocking the influencer.

“Some of the men criticizing her don’t even qualify for a motorbike loan and are still living in rental houses they can barely afford. Let’s celebrate courage, not condemn it,” Akothee emphasized.

Akothee also used her own tumultuous past to highlight the difficulty of life for many young women. She noted that at 25, many women are grappling with failed marriages, raising children alone, and facing financial ruin, often with “zero bank accounts, no jobs, no certificates, and no direction.”

Akothee’s message of support comes after reports surfaced alleging that Azziad had defaulted on a Ksh25 million mortgage for her apartment after only three months, leading to the threat of auction.

Renowned Kenyan singer and entrepreneur Esther Akoth, popularly known as Akothee, has announced a pause on all her projects, citing health struggles that have left her physically and emotionally drained.

Struggles with Burnout and Headaches

The award-winning artist revealed that she has been experiencing sharp headaches that affect her moods and have remained unresponsive to painkillers. She admitted that the past year has been particularly difficult, with the last two months proving overwhelming.

“I have been battling severe burnout and sharp headaches that keep affecting my moods. It has been a rough year with no breaks, and the past two months have been especially overwhelming,” she said.

Akothee explained that despite efforts to keep up with her busy schedule, including the use of multivitamins, energy drinks, and medical interventions, her body has reached its limit. She disclosed that after her recent performance in Malindi, she was unable to get out of bed for two days.

“As a result, all projects are suspended until I regain my energy,” she announced.

Packed Schedule

The mother of five has been juggling multiple responsibilities, including managing her businesses, pursuing her music career, spearheading charity initiatives through the Akothee Foundation, and handling various brand partnerships.

Her most recent engagements included participating in the Devolution Conference in Homa Bay County and the Great Roan Half-Marathon, both of which added to her demanding schedule.

Family Commitments

Beyond her professional life, Akothee has also had an eventful year on the family front.

In March 2025, she traveled to France for her daughter Fancy Makadia’s marriage signing ceremony, paving the way for the wedding months later. Together with her fiancé Nelly Oaks and her daughters Vesha Okello and Rue Baby, Akothee played a central role in the glamorous wedding celebrations in June, where she gifted the couple a house and shared financial wisdom for their new journey.

Celebrating Cultural Roots

Despite the challenges, Akothee has continued to honor her Luo heritage through her music. Her latest release is an afro-fusion track that celebrates her cultural roots, resilience, and identity. The song also pays tribute to the sacrifices and contributions of Luo heroes in Kenya’s history.

In the music video, Akothee dons traditional regalia, showcasing the vibrancy of Luo culture while taking fans on a journey through the community’s way of life.

Kenyan singer and businesswoman Esther Akoth, popularly known as Akothee, has made a powerful and emotional appeal condemning police brutality in the wake of recent protests across the country.

Taking to her social media platforms, the outspoken celebrity expressed deep anguish and frustration over the growing number of young Kenyans injured or killed during demonstrations, particularly during the recent Saba Saba protests held on July 7th, 2025.

“How many more must die before you listen?” Akothee questioned, urging the government and security agencies to respect the rights of citizens and to protect—rather than harm—those voicing their concerns.

A Voice for the Voiceless

Akothee, a mother and advocate for youth empowerment, lamented the excessive use of force against peaceful protesters, many of whom belong to the country’s vibrant and increasingly vocal Gen Z movement. The protests, sparked by public outrage over the now-withdrawn Finance Bill 2024, have transformed into a broader demand for government accountability, economic justice, and an end to police violence.

In her plea, Akothee emphasized the courage of the youth standing up for their future:

“These are our children. Our brothers. Our sisters. Our future. They are not criminals—they are Kenyans asking to be heard. They deserve protection, not bullets.”

She also shared disturbing images and stories circulating online, highlighting the gruesome injuries sustained by young demonstrators, some of whom were reportedly shot at close range or beaten by police officers and unknown assailants.

Call to Leaders and the Police

Akothee directly addressed Kenya’s political leadership, including President William Ruto and Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki, imploring them to intervene and stop the bloodshed.

“We cannot call ourselves a democratic nation if citizens are met with violence every time they speak up. This is not leadership—this is a betrayal of the people,” she wrote.

She also urged the National Police Service to remember their constitutional role as protectors of life and property, not instruments of fear and repression.

Echoing a Growing Outcry

Akothee joins a chorus of activists, artists, and civil society leaders who have spoken out in recent weeks, calling for justice for those who have lost their lives or been injured during the demonstrations.

Human rights organizations like the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) have reported dozens of deaths and injuries across multiple counties, while social media continues to flood with first-hand accounts of abductions, arbitrary arrests, and intimidation of protestors.

A Mother’s Perspective

Known for her candid and no-nonsense approach to social issues, Akothee framed her plea not only as a celebrity but as a mother worried about her own children’s safety in the current climate.

“Today it is someone else’s child. Tomorrow it could be mine. We cannot remain silent. We must speak out until they listen.”

Her message has resonated with many, drawing widespread support from fans and fellow public figures alike who see her stand as part of a larger push for justice and national healing.

As Kenya grapples with mounting political tension and growing demands for reform, voices like Akothee’s continue to remind the nation of the human cost of silence—and the power of speaking out.

A CRY FROM A HELPLESS MOTHER 🙏

My sons and daughters, we hear you We know you have your rights to be heard and understood, we know you feel ignored and the pressure is getting worse, but look at where we are my children, are we winning or loosing lives every day, are you scared the way I am, are you feeling the negative energy around the country? Are you feeling safe ?

It is high time that every parent takes personal responsibility to protect their children. Talk to your child. Ask them to stay indoors. This is no longer about what it was , it has become something far more dangerous. If we are not careful, your child could be shot dead. You could become childless. Your husband may not return home. and you may soon find yourself a widow. No government compensation can ever replace the life death has taken.

Let us remember that our true power lies in our votes , not in shouting on the streets. Look at what is happening: our children are scattered across roads, confused and endangered. The same police we once called our protectors now stand as our adversaries. Shops are shut, businesses are looted or closed down. We are burning our own nation, tearing down the very infrastructure we will later beg to have rebuilt , with money we do not even have.

As a mother and an entrepreneur, I have lost on all fronts. The economic unrest has wiped out livelihoods. We have barely recovered from one wave of chaos before another one begins. Campaigns have started again. When do we breathe? When do we heal?

Can we, for once, allow ourselves just one year of peace? One year to rebuild, to reconcile, to grow, and to breathe. Let us manage our pain with wisdom and restraint.

Go and collect your voting card. Let your ballot speak for you. Vote in the leader you believe in , and vote out the one you no longer trust. But let us not tear each other apart in the name of politics. This “by fire, by force” approach is rendering us childless, widowed, and broken. Our children leave home walking, only to return in caskets.

As mothers, where do we go? To whom do we turn?

Let us rise with sense and strength — not in flames and sorrow. The future of this country is not in bloodshe

Days after Fancy Makadia and her Beninese fiancé formalized their union under French law, fans quickly noticed a significant absence at the ceremony—her biological father, Jared Okello.

The intimate marriage signing, held on March 22, was attended by close family and friends, including Akothee, Fancy’s adoptive father Dominic, and her two younger brothers, Oyoo and Ojwang. However, the absence of Okello sparked widespread speculation, with many questioning why he wasn’t present for such an important milestone in his daughter’s life.

Fans Theorize About Jared Okello’s Absence

As photos and videos from the ceremony circulated online, social media users took to Akothee’s comment section, offering their own theories. Some speculated that Okello was an absent father, while others suggested that Akothee might have denied him access to their daughter.

Though she did not directly respond to the accusations, Akothee took to social media to share a powerful message aimed at single mothers, advising them not to let bitterness influence their children’s relationships with their fathers.

Akothee’s Message to Single Mothers

Akothee and Jared Okello were married for five years before their official divorce in 2011. They share three daughters—Vesha Okello, Rue Baby, and Fancy Makadia. Following their separation, Akothee moved on and later had another child, Oyoo, with her partner Dominic, who eventually adopted Fancy and took on a fatherly role in her life.

Reflecting on absent fathers, Akothee shared a heartfelt message:

“Every painful thing you say to your child about their father will eventually reflect in their character as they grow up. If you plant the idea in their minds that they have been rejected, you are shaping a child who will carry that pain forever.

Bitter words will never make your children replace the love they have for their father with love for you. No matter how absent he may be, he played a role in their lives—even if it was just in conceiving them.”

She further urged single mothers to allow their children to form their own opinions about their fathers instead of shaping negative narratives.

“Allow your children to learn for themselves whether their father is interested in their lives or not. It is not your responsibility to keep updating them; they will figure it out in time.

The same children you are trying to turn against their father will one day seek him out and reintroduce him to you. And for those deliberately keeping their children away from their fathers, life has a way of bringing things full circle—one day, your daughter may introduce her father to you as the father of her own child.”

Her message resonated with many, sparking mixed reactions. While some agreed that children should be given the freedom to decide on their own, others argued that some fathers are undeserving of any acknowledgment if they have never stepped up to their responsibilities.

Dominic’s Role in Fancy’s Life

While the debate over Okello’s absence continued, Dominic’s presence at the wedding was a testament to the love and unity within their blended family. Akothee has previously shared that after Fancy’s biological father left and another of her baby daddies refused to accept her children, Dominic stepped in at a crucial time.

He wholeheartedly embraced the role of a father, providing the love and support Fancy needed, and their strong bond has only deepened over the years.

A Grand Wedding in the Works

Despite the ongoing speculation, Akothee is now looking forward to a larger wedding celebration that Fancy and her husband are planning. With this grand event on the horizon, fans are eager to see whether Jared Okello will make an appearance this time.

For now, Akothee remains focused on celebrating Fancy’s milestone, standing firm in her message of peace and moving beyond bitterness.

Kenyan singer and entrepreneur Akothee has issued a warning about the risks of chemical peels after a personal experience left her with skin damage. She opened up about her struggles with hormonal imbalances, which led to frequent facial breakouts. Seeking a solution, she opted for a chemical peel based on a recommendation, but the treatment caused more harm than good.

Akothee shared how the peel left her skin severely burned and dry, leaving her uncomfortable and frustrated. “Someone suggested a chemical peel, and I decided to give it a try. Instead of improving my skin, it left it damaged and dehydrated. I couldn’t even face the mirror without feeling disheartened,” she recalled.

Her partner, Nelly, was the first to express concern, noticing the burn marks and dryness on her face. Initially, Akothee reassured him that the effects would fade within days, but it soon became clear the damage was more extensive. When her makeup artist, Ann, also pointed out the issue, Akothee realized the severity of the situation.

Attempts to contact the clinic responsible for the procedure were unsuccessful, leaving Akothee feeling abandoned. Nelly, upset by the outcome, threw out the products they had recommended and went back to her trusted skincare routine. Thankfully, within a month, her skin began to recover.

Reflecting on the experience, Akothee advised her followers to be cautious about new beauty trends. “Ladies, be careful with your body. Not all these trends are beneficial, and some can do more harm than good,” she cautioned.

Akothee’s story is a reminder to thoroughly research any beauty treatments and prioritize health over cosmetic trends. Although she eventually healed, the experience served as a valuable lesson.

Kenyan artist, brand influencer, and CEO of Akothee Safaris, Akothee, has finally revealed the true reason she ended her marriage with her Mzungu boyfriend, Mr. Omosh Schweizer.

In an emotional radio interview, Akothee explained that the turning point in their relationship occurred when she found out that Omosh had been hiding a health condition from her.

“Yale ambayo niliyagundua baadaye yalikua ni mambo ambayo singeweza kuketi nayo kwa sababu alinificha na kule kunificha ndiko kuliniumiza nikasema, kama umenificha kwa wakati huu ni mangapi utanificha na nitakua ninakuamini vipi,” Akothee stated.

The discovery deeply affected her, leading to the realization that she could no longer trust him. She made the difficult decision to end their relationship because his secrecy over important matters had broken the trust they had built as partners.

“Na kile kilifanya niachane naye ni kwamba hakuniambia ukweli wake wa ndani kwamba alikua na health challenges… hizi maugonjwa za akili alikua ako na Bipolar… aliponiambia nikamwambia mbona hukuniambia nikajiabisha mbele ya watu,” Akothee shared.

While Akothee acknowledged the sensitive nature of mental health issues, she expressed disappointment that Omosh hadn’t trusted her enough to be open about his struggles. She stressed that honesty and trust are the cornerstones of any relationship, and his lack of transparency made her reevaluate their partnership.

Feeling emotionally drained, Akothee pondered on the intentions of those reaching out for assistance through her foundation, expressing disappointment in what she perceived as exploitation.

“My children finished school years ago, and the younger ones are well taken care of in Europe. So why is my DM full of people needing help, who later develop a sense of entitlement?” she questioned.
