While the majority of fans filled the comment section with congratulatory messages for Akothee’s sister-in-law, one fan couldn’t help but speculate about the singer’s appearance.
The fan cheekily asked, “Ni kitambi ama Nelly Junior? Congratulations to your in-law,” loosely implying that Akothee might be expecting a child or simply had gained a little weight.
Known for her bold and unapologetic personality, Akothee was quick to respond, leaving her followers in stitches. She directly tagged the fan and replied with just one word: “Both.”
The response sent ripples of laughter across the comment section, with fans praising Akothee’s quick wit and humour.

Akothee’s motherhood journey
Akothee is no stranger to conversations about motherhood. The multi-talented businesswoman and performer has five children from her previous relationships. She shares three daughters with her ex-husband Jared Okello and has two sons from other relationships with different partners.
In February this year, Akothee opened up about some of the heartbreak she has faced as a mother. She revealed that she lost her 8-month-old son when she was still a young mother, an experience that deeply affected her.
Additionally, she shared that she suffered a miscarriage at the end of 2022, losing what would have been her sixth child. Despite the loss, Akothee expressed a sense of relief, given the circumstances surrounding her relationship at the time.
She explained that she and her then-partner Omosh broke up just two months after their wedding, making the situation complicated.

Akothee has always been open about her desire to have more children, despite already having a big family. The singer has mentioned on several occasions that she is not yet done expanding her family.
