Kenyan musician Kevin Bahati has found himself at the center of an unusual online story after a woman went viral claiming to be his biological mother.
The video has sparked reactions from fans and even Bahati’s own children.
The woman, identified as Judith Makokha, claimed she abandoned Bahati as a child because she could not afford to raise him and placed him in a children’s home. She added that she had faked her death so he could have a better life and now wants to reconnect, even suggesting a DNA test to prove her claim.
Bahati was visibly surprised by the revelation, noting that he personally attended his mother’s burial more than 25 years ago. Despite this, he said he wanted to process the situation carefully and not dismiss it outright, given the emotions involved and the reactions from fans.
In a separate video, Bahati shared his children’s responses to the woman’s claims. His son, Morgan, expressed disbelief, joking about the woman’s accent and insisting she was clearly not their grandmother. He reminded viewers that Bahati had previously shown them their grandmother’s grave. His daughter, Mueni, asked if the woman resembled their mother and suggested verifying her story with people from Bahati’s childhood area.
The episode has triggered a mix of reactions on social media. Some users believe the woman is seeking attention, while others empathize with Bahati’s dilemma. Amid the confusion, Bahati is trying to navigate the situation carefully, with many wondering if a DNA test will ultimately settle the matter.
The story highlights the emotional challenges celebrities can face when personal and public life collide, leaving Bahati and his family in the spotlight once again.
