Kenyan musician Kevin Bahati has once again captured public attention after releasing DNA test results that he says conclusively settle claims made by Judith Makokha, a woman who had publicly alleged that she is his biological mother.
The matter first gained widespread attention when Judith appeared in several online videos claiming that she had given birth to Bahati years ago but was forced to give him up due to financial hardships. Her emotional appeal sparked debate across the country, with many Kenyans expressing sympathy and calling for the truth to be established through scientific testing.
Following weeks of public discussion, Bahati agreed to meet Judith and later facilitated a DNA test to determine whether the two were biologically related. Initial results reportedly indicated that Judith was not his biological mother. However, the findings did not end the controversy, as Judith questioned the outcome and suggested that the results may have been altered.
In response to the growing speculation, Bahati has now published the DNA report online, stating that it clearly shows there is a zero percent probability that Judith is his biological mother. The singer maintained that he trusts the medical institution that conducted the test and considers the matter fully resolved.
“Case closed,” Bahati wrote while sharing the document on his social media platforms.
The latest development has generated mixed reactions among Kenyans online. Some users praised Bahati for making the results public and relying on scientific evidence to address the issue. Others argued that the story highlights the emotional challenges surrounding family separation, identity, and reunification.
The discussion comes at a time when national attention is largely focused on political developments and early preparations for the 2027 General Election. Despite the dominance of political news, Bahati’s DNA saga has continued to trend, demonstrating the strong public interest in personal stories involving some of Kenya’s most recognizable celebrities.
