Content creator Baby Top has set social media buzzing after releasing an audio clip of a phone call she made to former President Uhuru Kenyatta on his 65th birthday, greeting him with playful nicknames.
In the recording, Baby Top, who has built a close relationship with the Kenyatta family over the years, is heard calling the fourth president “Sweetie” and “Sponyo.” The names drew laughter and raised eyebrows online in equal measure.
She also revealed what prompted the call. According to Baby Top, fellow entertainer Muthoni Wa Mukiri urged her to phone the former Head of State and ask for a share of the birthday celebrations.
Uhuru took the teasing in good humour. He acknowledged that he is getting older, telling her he had missed her and her friends, and thanked her for the birthday wishes.
The former president marked the milestone at his rural home, surrounded by family and a small circle of close friends. The low-key celebration was a sharp contrast to the grand political gatherings that once defined his public life.
The leaked call has drawn wide reactions from Kenyans online. Many said they found Uhuru’s relaxed and approachable manner endearing, while others pointed to Baby Top’s continued closeness to the Kenyattas as proof of the bonds she formed with the family during his time in office.
This is not the first time the content creator has offered a glimpse into her relationship with the former first family, and the connection continues to resonate strongly with her followers.
