Kenyan artist Kevin Kioko, popularly known as Bahati, celebrated his 31st birthday on December 22. Anticipating the occasion, Bahati took to social media on December 21 to engage with his fans. He shared a whimsical image featuring himself and his wife, Diana Marua, depicted as babies, evoking the caring image of a mother washing her child.
Expressing his excitement about the upcoming birthday, Bahati used the opportunity to address a common nickname he’s been given by Kenyans – ‘Mtoto wa Mama’ (Mother’s Child). In his caption, he playfully conveyed his desire to shed this moniker and invited his fans to suggest new nicknames for him in the comments section.
“In a few I will be Turning 31 Years Old… 22:12:1992 was My Birthday!!! SO COMMENT AND GIVE ME A NEW NICK NAME AND LET’S DROP MTOTO WA DIANA :)” wrote Bahati.
Diana Marua, Bahati’s wife, couldn’t resist chiming in on his post. In a lighthearted manner, she wished him a happy birthday and humorously asserted that he would always be her baby, playfully mentioning an ample supply of “milk” – a term of endearment.
“😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you will always be my Baby. Nyonyo is yours forever 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Happy Birthday Mtoto Wa Mine ❤️” Diana Marua wrote.
The comment section of Bahati’s post saw an influx of netizens offering various nickname suggestions, engaging in the celebratory spirit surrounding the musician’s birthday.
