Nairobi, Kenya – Popular Kenyan musician Kevin “Bahati” Kioko has finally addressed the woman who recently went viral claiming to be his biological mother. The woman, identified as Judith Makokha, has captured public attention after alleging that she had to give Bahati up to a children’s home many years ago because she could not care for him.
In a phone conversation that has since circulated online, Judith expressed remorse and apologised to Bahati, saying she believed leaving him at the home was in his best interest. “I am sorry for what happened. I could not raise you, but I hoped you would have a better life,” she reportedly said during the call.
Bahati, who had previously believed his mother passed away over 25 years ago, admitted he was initially confused by the claims. “I attended my mother’s burial years ago, so this is very unexpected,” he said. Despite his scepticism, Bahati emphasised the importance of respect and compassion, stating that he wanted to hear her out.
The singer has agreed to meet Judith in person, offering to cover her transport to Nairobi. The meeting, scheduled for this coming Friday, is expected to provide clarity on the claims and possibly involve a DNA test to confirm her identity.
The story has sparked widespread discussion on social media, with fans expressing a mix of curiosity, scepticism, and support for Bahati’s decision to engage with Judith respectfully. Many commentators have praised his willingness to handle the situation diplomatically rather than dismissing it outright.
As Kenyans await the face-to-face meeting, the nation remains intrigued by this emotional twist in the life of one of its most famous artists. Whether Judith’s claims are true or not, the story highlights the complexities of family, identity, and forgiveness.
