Kenyan celebrity daddies who parted ways with their kids' mothers have made headlines in recent years. One such celebrity is Octopizzo, who rarely talks about his ex-wife but has shown his love for her by featuring her in one of his tracks.
Shaffie Weru, a popular media personality, was asked in 2013 if he was planning to get back with Debbie Asila, the mother of his child. His response was telling:
"She is the mother of my child and it does not mean that the fact that we don’t stay together anymore we should not be seen talking. We are mature and we respect each other…I want to keep the respect and ensure that Milan gets the best upbringing. We want to ensure that she becomes the next Kenyan Tiger Woods in woman’s golf," — Shaffie Weru, 2013
Prezzo, another celebrity dad, was called out in 2014 by his ex-wife Daisy Jematia Kiplagat for allegedly not paying child support after their divorce.
King Kaka, a celebrated Kenyan rapper, had a secret union with Chemutai Sage until the birth of their daughter in 2014. He now has a wife and two children.
Lastly, Dennis Okari, a media personality, also parted ways with his child's mother.
