Kenyan musician Arrow Bwoy has opened up about the tense and emotional journey surrounding the birth of his first child, Kai, with fellow artist Nadia Mukami — a story filled with love, fear, and ultimate relief.
Speaking to Chris the Bass on the Tubonge Podcast at CH Studios, the singer shared how the couple’s road to parenthood was anything but easy.
A Painful Past and Renewed Hope
Arrow Bwoy revealed that their excitement about starting a family was shadowed by a previous heartbreak — a miscarriage that left both deeply scarred.
“When Nadia told me she was expecting again, I was happy but also scared,” he admitted. “I kept asking myself, are we going to end up where we were?”
Determined to be fully present, he attended every clinic visit by Nadia’s side, unless he was out of the country. “As men, the best thing we can do is support our women,” he said.
Delivery Day: From Hope to Panic
The couple initially planned for a natural delivery. However, when Nadia struggled to dilate, doctors advised a Caesarean section.
“It became necessary for the doctor to say she was going for the knife,” Arrow Bwoy recalled. Thankfully, as brand ambassadors for the hospital, all medical expenses were covered.
But even that relief couldn’t prepare him for the emotional storm inside the operating room.
“Will She Make It?” — The Scariest Moment
Arrow Bwoy described watching the surgery as “the most anxious moment” of his life. His fears spiked moments after Kai’s birth when Nadia suddenly suffered a panic attack and fainted.
“The day of delivery, I was in the theatre. Seeing her being operated on… I panicked. When she fainted, I thought I’d lost her. I was holding our baby, thinking — my first child, and the mother is gone,” he shared.
Fortunately, Nadia regained consciousness a few minutes later, to Arrow Bwoy’s immense relief. She soon held baby Kai and began breastfeeding — a moment that brought the couple to tears of gratitude.
A Song for Kai
To commemorate their journey into parenthood, Arrow Bwoy and Nadia released a song dedicated to their son, Kai.
Today, the singer takes pride in being a hands-on dad — bathing, changing diapers, and bonding deeply with his little boy.
“It’s not just about being a father,” he reflected. “It’s about being present.”
