Why I got married at 14 – Akothee

Akothee reveals it all!

Kenyan singer and self-declared president of single mothers Akothee has revealed the reason why she got married at the age of 14 years.

In a post to her daughters on her Instagram account, Akothee said that fear of reporting to her parents after running away from home and spending a number of days at the disco is what made her settle down at the age of 14 years and that is how she got pregnant.

She recounted that at the time there were no phones and there was no way her parents could trace her or talk to her.

Here is her post;

“We shall party yes, but remember you have a future to focus on, so consume what your body can handle my daughter, thank God you have a dot.com mum! During our days, we had to sneak and jump over the fence with clothes to change huko mbele just in the name of going to Nyatiedero, or stay in omega disco Migori from the day they tie the music to the date they untied it for the fear of going back home there were no phones!  call me anytime you wanna go out my love!

I will take a flight from Mombasa come hang out! Unless you want a ME time do it my love but do let me know with whom you are out just text! Yes mum am out with....... When you home, do the same just to make sure you safe. . If you have a catch, pliz introduce me so I know & when pregnancy checks in let me be the first to know my love , never hide anything from me mama, I am the final recipient anyway. Nitajua tu but for now focus on building yourself I love you  cc ,” she said.
