Laika, a Kenyan singer, recently opened up about her personal life on a radio interview, revealing that she has a child with TV producer J Blessing. This adds to his growing list of baby mamas.
During the interview on Milele FM, Laika was asked about the paternity of her child, and she shared her side of the story.
"I was in a relationship with J Blessing, but he left me. I was hurt, so I took a break," Laika revealed.
Laika also shared that J Blessing does not contribute to their child's upbringing, stating, "Yes, he denied the pregnancy, I do not like talking about this issue. He helped for a while after the delivery but for now he does not do anything."
Laika's revelation comes after she previously shared that she quit music due to postpartum depression in June. She took a hiatus to focus on her child's well-being and her own mental health.
On her child's fourth birthday, Laika expressed her gratitude and love for her daughter, saying, "On a day like today, you made your way into the world in style. I celebrate you baby girl and I want to tell you those favourite words… You’re my best friend. We always want the best for you. We will always celebrate you. And we will always show you how much we love you so you can love others with the same intensity."
