At 40, Akothee has lived a life of contrasts, from struggling to make ends meet to becoming one of Kenya's most successful musicians and businesswomen. Born Esther Akoth, she has rubbed shoulders with the elite and traveled the world, yet remains grounded and committed to giving back to her community.

As a mother of five, Akothee has taken a unique approach to raising her three daughters. She has warned them about the dangers of sleeping around and has instilled in them the values of modesty, virtues, and discipline. However, her approach has raised eyebrows, particularly when she was spotted sharing wine and alcohol with her daughters.

When asked about her decision, Akothee explained:

"I served alcohol to my own children, so that no man will dangle a bottle of champagne on their faces and make it look like a very special drink to make one lower their panties, me tgat used to drink mens beer and run away 🤣🤣🤣 let it be free will if they mess up,its me 🤣🤣🤣"

Her response has left fans and followers in stitches, but it's a testament to her commitment to preparing her daughters for the realities of life.

Published on June 18, 2020, Akothee's approach to parenting has sparked a lively debate, with some praising her honesty and others expressing concern about the potential consequences of introducing children to alcohol at a young age.
