A woman who had claimed to be the biological mother of Kenyan musician Kevin Bahati was overcome with emotions after DNA test results confirmed that she is not related to him.
The emotional moment was shared by the singer on his YouTube channel, where he documented the process of visiting a medical facility to conduct the DNA test. The video showed both Bahati and the woman waiting anxiously for the results after several hours of testing and counselling.
During the waiting period, the woman explained that she believed Bahati was the child who had been taken from her many years ago.
She said she had recently regained memories and believed that God had helped her remember the child she lost. The claim had created hope that the long search for Bahati’s biological family could finally come to an end.
The atmosphere at the clinic was tense as the two waited for confirmation. However, when the results were finally released, the DNA test showed that the woman was not Bahati’s biological mother.
After the results were announced, the woman broke down emotionally and struggled to contain her feelings. People around her, including Bahati, were seen helping her walk out of the facility as she tried to process the outcome.
Bahati later shared a message on his social media platforms asking for healing and peace for the woman’s heart following the disappointing results. He also remembered his late adoptive mother, Lucia Mueni, who raised him before her death.
Bahati grew up in a children’s home after losing his parents at a young age. Over the years, he has often spoken about his difficult childhood and his journey to success through music.
The musician rose to fame in Kenya through gospel music before later transitioning into mainstream entertainment, becoming one of the country’s most recognized artists.
