Akothee, the renowned singer and performer, is known for her candidness in sharing intimate aspects of her life. In a recent interview with TV47, she opened up about her unique approach to parenting her five children from three different fathers.
Rather than being overwhelmed by the challenges of managing multiple responsibilities, Akothee took a proactive step and created a WhatsApp group to foster co-parenting among her children’s fathers. Through this innovative platform, they collaborate to handle parental duties, offering emotional and financial support to their children.
However, co-parenting is not without its difficulties, and Akothee was honest about facing challenges with one of her baby daddies. This individual’s possessive and dramatic behavior added tension and emotional distress to the group, especially when expressing objections to Akothee’s involvement with other men.
Despite the obstacles, Akothee remains committed to making the co-parenting arrangement work for the sake of her children, although it comes with its fair share of hurdles.
The singer’s journey as a parent is intertwined with her past relationships and marriages. Akothee’s first marriage, which she entered at the young age of 14, had a modest budget of Sh2500. In contrast, her recent wedding was an extravagant affair, reportedly costing around Sh8 million, highlighting her remarkable transformation since her humble beginnings.
Akothee’s love life has been eventful, including struggles with an ex-husband who denied her access to essential documents. Determined to take control of her life, she worked as a taxi driver in Mombasa to support herself. During this time, fate intervened, and she met a ‘stubborn’ mzungu (foreigner) who expressed a desire to have a child with her while she was working as a dancer.
Akothee confidently asserts that she has never been dumped by any of her ex-lovers, emphasizing that she always takes charge of ending the relationships. Her self-proclaimed status as “Madam Boss” reflects her strong and empowered outlook on relationships.
Despite her controversial and outspoken nature, Akothee’s recent marriage to Denis Schweizer appears to have brought her immense happiness. However, she issued a stern warning to her husband, expressing that should they ever part ways, she expects him to avoid unnecessary drama, as she believes she is too old to handle additional pressures.
