Renowned Kenyan artist and successful businesswoman, Esther Akoth, widely known as Akothee, has officially confirmed the end of her marriage to Denis ‘Omosh’ Schweizer.
Akothee addressed the persistent rumors during a live social media session with her fans on a Tuesday night. During the session, the mother of five disclosed that she had terminated her relatively short-lived marriage back in June, while she and Omosh were still on their honeymoon.
“I have moved on from that relationship. It no longer exists. I want to inform you that I left that relationship in June. However, I won’t delve into the details,” Akothee stated.
She went on to say, “I cherished my marriage, I cherished my wedding. I have no regrets. I celebrated my wedding on my birthday; if things went awry, as they did, I would still have no regrets.”
The 43-year-old musician hinted that she made the decision to end her marriage while they were on their honeymoon, having discovered certain aspects that were intolerable to her. Nevertheless, she did not immediately communicate her decision to the Swiss national. Even when they eventually went their separate ways, she falsely reassured him that she wouldn’t leave him.
“I left the relationship in June. I usually exit my relationships while I am still in them. While we were on our honeymoon, I realized certain things that I couldn’t tolerate. He asked me, ‘Will you leave me?’ I replied, ‘No, my love, I love you.’ But in truth, I had already mentally checked out,” Akothee recounted.
The singer, known for her dramatic life, made it clear that she is currently single, emphasizing that she won’t allow any man to negatively impact her mental well-being.
“I am not one to force things. If it doesn’t work for me, even if it works for someone else, it doesn’t work for me. The reason I don’t stay in toxic relationships, which I can’t fathom, is because my financial well-being is in my control. Allowing any man to disrupt my peace also disrupts my financial stability,” she explained.
She further added, “I won’t apologize for anything. If the relationship didn’t work for me, what was I to do? It didn’t work, it was functional for a while, but when the facade crumbled, I couldn’t stay there. Why should I? By the time you stopped seeing Denis on my social media accounts, it was during the period when I was orchestrating my exit.”
