Frankie Kiarie, a popular fitness trainer and social media influencer, has denied being a deadbeat father to his two children with socialite Maureen Waititu. In a video posted on his YouTube channel, Frankie responded to questions from his followers, including one that labeled him a deadbeat dad.
According to Frankie, he sends Sh6,000 every week for the upkeep of his children, Lexi and another child. He also pays for their school fees, which amount to Sh150,000 per term. Frankie explained that he spends Sh2,500 on himself, leaving him with limited funds for other expenses.
Frankie cautioned his followers against labeling individuals without doing their research. He emphasized that being a deadbeat dad means neglecting one's children, which is not the case with him.
Frankie's response comes after he was accused of being a deadbeat dad by one of his followers. The accusation was made after Frankie announced his relationship with socialite Corazon Kwamboka, who is pregnant with his child.
Frankie explained that he and Maureen Waititu broke up due to their differences and issues, and it was after their breakup that he met Corazon Kwamboka. He denied leaving Maureen for Corazon, stating that their breakup was not planned.
Frankie's response has sparked a debate on social media, with some of his followers defending him and others accusing him of being insensitive to his children's needs.
