The strained relationship between Akothee and her siblings has become increasingly apparent, as the singer and entrepreneur recently shared online. She revealed that she has cut off all communication with her siblings, and they no longer greet each other.
Once known for their close bond, Akothee and her sister, Cebbie Koks, are no longer on speaking terms. In a video posted on Wednesday, January 24th, Akothee stated that she no longer misses her siblings.
Reflecting on her experience in late 2022, she recounted the emotional turmoil she faced during a challenging relationship that ultimately ended. “What I went through with my family towards the end of 2022 is something I wouldn’t wish on anyone,” she shared. “I felt isolated, despite being surrounded by people. It’s the worst feeling, especially after giving so much to those around you. It hurts deeply. I realized that there was a significant barrier between me and my siblings.”
Akothee went on to express that she doesn’t miss her siblings because she doesn’t miss the trouble that came with their relationship. She acknowledged the possibility that she might have been the toxic one, explaining that sometimes, when you’re toxic, you create boundaries that eventually leave no space for a relationship.
“I don’t miss any of them,” she admitted. “I don’t know them anymore. If we meet at my parents’ place, we acknowledge that we share the same blood, but the relationship and friendship we once had are gone. You vibe with people who vibe with you.”
Although Akothee has forgiven her siblings, she has set firm boundaries. “I forgave everyone,” she said, drawing a line with her hand to signify the boundaries she has put in place. “But we are not friends, we don’t vibe. The connection is gone because I fear getting hurt again.”
To protect herself, Akothee avoids even greeting her siblings in public. “Why should we? If I greet them, I risk falling into the same trap again. Even if we cross paths in public, I will simply walk past them. What I went through was too painful, too significant to ignore.”
Now, Akothee has found peace and no longer worries about the past. “What I experienced broke me; I felt exposed and vulnerable. They spread lies about me on social media. How can I vibe with people who did that? We may share blood and cooperate as parents, but we are no longer friends. And that’s okay.”
