Comedian Kartelo, whose real name is Nick Chege, has bravely shared his story of losing his first child, a baby girl he had in high school.
According to Kartelo, he had his first child in Form 4, but the baby sadly passed away due to birth-related complications.
"I had a child when I was in Form 4, a beautiful girl, but she did not make it out of the hospital," Kartelo shared in an emotional revelation.
At the time, Kartelo was still living with his mother and struggled to provide for his girlfriend, who was pregnant with their child. They even managed to hide the pregnancy from his mother.
"On the delivery day, I took her to hospital alone. She delivered successfully, but the baby passed away after a few hours. I was hurt since I had done my best, yet I was very broke," Kartelo recalled.
Despite the pain of losing his first child, Kartelo always wanted to fill the gap left by his daughter. His wish was finally fulfilled over a year ago when his girlfriend, Fahima Nassir, welcomed their daughter.
