Akothee: I’m too old for heartbreaks

Renowned singer Akothee has declared that she has outgrown the experience of heartbreak.

In a candid post on social media, Akothee offered insight into her journey of self-discovery and personal growth, highlighting that she no longer succumbs to the emotional turmoil associated with heartbreak.

“I spent all my childhood being a full-time jobless parent, stepping up and playing the roles of both a father and mother to my three daughters,” she candidly shared. “I spent all my thirties relentlessly chasing after financial stability, and now, in my forties, I am starting a new chapter in my life. If you ask me how old I am, sweetheart, I am twenty at heart and in body, with the mindset of a mature and intelligent forty-year-old woman who knows exactly what she wants in life.”

Akothee, who has effectively navigated the challenges of single motherhood, reflected on the evolution of her emotional resilience. She drew a sharp distinction between disappointments and heartbreaks, asserting: “Being a single mother taught me how to differentiate between disappointments and heartbreaks.”

Akothee challenged the notion of enduring multiple heartbreaks, rhetorically asking: “We no longer get heartbroken. How many hearts do you have? After all the character development you’ve been through, do you still have a heart to be broken?”

She urged others to focus on self-improvement and financial independence, saying: “Wacha zako wewe tafuta pesa ndio uelewe hii maneno. Ni njaaaaa ama emotions. (Go make money so you can understand this. It’s about hunger or emotions.)”

Drawing from her personal experience, Akothee highlighted the resilience of single mothers, noting that the heartbreaks they endure are fundamentally distinct from those of others.

Akothee’s message is a powerful reminder that we all have the capacity to overcome heartbreak and build a fulfilling life.
