Published on September 9, 2019, a list of different types of baby daddies in Kenya has gone viral, sparking conversations about responsible fatherhood.
From deadbeats who never provide child support to providers who take care of their kids even after parting ways, the types of baby daddies in Kenya are diverse and often disturbing.
Deadbeats are the worst offenders, never providing child support and often posting pictures of their children on social media without contributing financially.
On the other hand, providers are the type of baby daddies most women love, as they take care of their kids even after separating from their baby mamas.
Those who smash, however, are a different story altogether. They continue to sleep with their baby mamas even after separating, often due to sexual starvation.
Other types of baby daddies include rumour mongers who spread false information about their baby mamas, violent men who beat their partners, and abusive men who emotionally and physically harm their baby mamas.
Lastly, there are those who vanish only to come back when their child is doing well, leaving their baby mamas to fend for themselves.
