Kenyan singer Akothee has spoken candidly about her past, revealing that she was once a rebellious teenager who clubbed and sneaked out of her parents' home. She was 21 years old at the time, the same age as her daughter Rue baby.

She shared a post on Instagram in 2019, where she wrote, 'At her Age @rue.baby it's only men were cheering me in the clubs OMEGA ONE MIGORI, escaping while my mom is asleep, jumping over the fences fetching for pregnancy,?‍♂️?‍♂️at her age, I was already someone's wife with 3 children!'

Akothee's first marriage was not without its challenges, and she has spoken about the hardships she faced, including delivering her second child on the streets of Awendo town at midnight. She has also spoken about her struggles with pregnancy, saying, 'Why was I in a hurry with the monster MR S3X?‍♂️?‍♂️ was it not worth waiting?‍♂️?‍♂️?,now I have the freedom to get pregnant, And I am running away from it like EBOLA, GOD WHY ME! WITH ALL THE BLESSINGS? WHY.'
