Kenyan singer Esther Akoth better known as Akothee is looking to have a sixth child.
The founder and CEO of Akothee Safaris recently took to her Instagram and opened up on her intentions of conceiving again, but with no strings attached.
The vocal singer explained that the invite was purely for the baby and she does not want to date or be committed in any way to the father.
“I will also have a baby and I don’t want a commitment with anyone, I am not ready to settle down, I am still very young, but number six is a must. We the independent women, also have choices (follow me at your own risk). I am looking for baby daddy number six; we won’t date, just a baby, period. No strings attached.”
Single mother
Akothee’s request comes a few days after she vowed never to be lured into having a child she is not ready for. The ‘president of single mothers’ as she prides herself preached to fellow single mothers, encouraging them to stay strong for their sake and their children.
“The pain of being left with a child is all the same. Whether you are living in Karen, Lavington or Kibera! The sleepless nights, the pain of rejection, betrayal, stigma and society. The fear of the unknown (where will I start from? People will laugh at me) my dear, you are thinking too much.
“Those people whom you think will laugh at you have more problems than yours. You have already identified your problem and it's out, embrace it. It’s no longer a problem, it's a challenge,” she said.
Akothee’s stand is as a result of the hardship she has had to undergo after being rejected by her children’s baby daddies.
In a separate post, the Lotto crooner opened up on a painful experience where one of her baby daddies left her to fend for herself in a foreign country while pregnant.
“He told me he is 50- years-old and not in a position of falling in love with any woman. I was 9 months pregnant in Switzerland with an illegal visa from Holland. I was afraid that if I gave birth in Kenya, he will disown us.
“I was wrong. He still disowned us even in his country, so he asked me to come back to Kenya and if I insisted on giving birth in Switzerland, the hospital bill would be forwarded to the person who invited me to Europe and not him,” she narrated.
