For those who are not aware, King Kaka’s eldest daughter is from an ex girlfriend, Sage Chemutai – a woman with angelic vocals and back in 2011 to 2013 she was the star giving female artists with her music.
However in 2014, everything changed for her after she welcomed her first child with the rapper and just before this could sink in….King Kaka’s wife also had a daughter a few weeks later. Sema kanairo.
For a minute we understand it got ugly for Sage after king Kaka chose his wife over her and as the story always goes…. there was bitterness, rejection, humiliation and exposing each other on social media.
Absent dad?
In 2018 Sage Chemutai for the first time let it slip that King Kaka was an absent dad to their daughter…4 years after they had her. Speaking to a popular news outlet, Sage said;
Raising a child as a single mum is the most challenging things I have faced so far. I had a constant fear of wondering how I’m gonna deal with when she goes to school, and she will be asking herself, How comes I am not living with my dad? And that was the biggest worry. I have learnt that God is in control of everything.
Adding;
You know I am alone, other parents are paying fees together, they can handle that together. In the beginning, I was freaking out, but after her first term in school, I was able to pay her school fees and even to ensure she goes to school on time, and get everything she needed, including her snacks. It is learning how to let go and leaving God.
Sage on depression
Although they seem to have resolved the matter and are now coparenting in peace, one thing Sage cant seem to forget is the experience she faced after her baby was born.
According to Sage Chemutai’s interview with Hotlist, she says she went through postpartum depression which eventually became depression and that is how she almost lost herself as a person and her career.
After I had my baby, I suffered from post-partum depression which turned into depression. I didn’t want to leave the house, I had a lot of anxiety and even shut everyone out. I was scared to release my song because I didn’t know if people would like it. I doubted myself to the point I just wanted to be alone. I had writer’s block but early last year, I started to write songs and recorded a lot of it but still, I was still scared. I only released two songs.
With this, a member of KoT reacted to the news blaming King Kaka for ruining his baby career saying;
Adding;
BUT like you’ve always heard….mambo ya watu wawili wamezaa pamoja, huwezi toboa; something most seem to understand expect for Thirsty Kidspiration.
Responding to his accusations against Kaka, one fan wrote;
There are slim to zero chances for married men to leave their families for their side chicks. That one she should have known. Getting pregnant for a married man is risky because that won’t keep him, atakuwacha. But I feel sorry for her though
While another wrote;
Sage was aware King had a family, she was a grown woman, knew what she is getting herself into. Its sad her career ended but she had an option.
