Kenyan singer Kevin “Bahati” Kioko has begun a DNA test following claims from a woman asserting that she is his biological mother, sparking national debate.
The woman, Judith Makokha, recently shared emotional videos online stating that she left Bahati at a children’s home years ago due to financial constraints and now seeks reconciliation. She asked for scientific proof of their relationship through DNA testing.
For decades, Bahati has maintained that his mother passed away over 25 years ago, a story that shaped his public image and was reflected in his music and interviews. The sudden claims challenged this long-held narrative.
Over the weekend, Bahati and Makokha met in an emotional reunion, widely shared on social media. In the footage, Makokha was seen crying, hugging Bahati, and asking for forgiveness, leaving fans with mixed emotions.
Makokha has publicly agreed to undergo the DNA test, and Bahati has initiated the process. The results are expected to clarify the truth about his past and potentially reshape the singer’s life story.
Public reactions have been divided. Some fans applaud Bahati’s openness to uncover the truth, while others remain skeptical, questioning the motives behind the sudden emergence of Makokha.
As the DNA results are awaited, discussions about family, identity, and personal history continue to engage Bahati’s fans and the broader Kenyan public. The outcome could redefine how his early life is understood and remembered.
