Controversial Kenyan singer Esther Akoth, popularly known as Akothee, has disclosed that she lost three of her children.
Speaking recently to Standard Digital Entertainment (SDE) the ‘Lotto’ hitmaker said one of her kids succumbed to pneumonia and lost twins to a miscarriage about two years ago.
“My first child came when I was still very young… I had two more children by the time I was 16. Unfortunately, the second child contracted pneumonia and died because I could not afford to take him to the hospital,” she told SDE.
The self-proclaimed president of Kenyan single mothers said she lost her unborn twin babies in a hospital in Switzerland in 2016. The mother of five said she received some horrid messages from people who wished her death after the miscarriage.
“I got more than 10 messages saying they wished I would also die in that bed. That I had faked a pregnancy. I have five children, so clearly I am not infertile. I am a moving scandal, so why would I try to create a scandal like that one? That is when I decided that if people did not care, then I do not care either for their opinions.” She disclosed.

“Two more kids by the time…
“Two more kids by the time Iwas sixteen”.wow did she know what she was doing.Luckly for her she I’d doing well now.Not many who have 2 or more kids at 16 are doing well.If it could be avoided,dont have kids till you are ready,that is ajob you can support yourself on,hopefully reliable partner, and mental and physical maturity.
Sounds like she was raped

What gives you that…
What gives you that impression.I dont get it from the article. She just says she had 3 kids by 16. If she was rape that would be very unfornunate, especially by an adult who should know better to treat a young girl with love and respect.
But then again some parts of Kenya still marry 16 year olds,or should I say minors to men old enough to be their grandfathers.Despite efforts by governments,and NGO, the custom still persists.To me this is as good as rape.Dont believe a 15 year old in her right mind could consent to marrying a “grandpa”.
