Kenyan musician and content creator Bahati has finally conducted a DNA test alongside a woman who is alleging to be his biological mother, in a move that has sparked intense debate online.
The woman had earlier come out publicly claiming to be Bahati’s mum, a revelation that caught many fans off guard and quickly went viral across social media platforms.
Her claims reopened conversations around the singer’s long-disclosed upbringing and the fact that he was raised in a children’s home after being abandoned at a young age.
While Bahati was initially skeptical about the woman’s claims, he chose to give her a chance and agreed to undergo a DNA test to establish the truth. On Tuesday, February 17, the star and the woman visited La Femme Healthcare Clinic, a Nairobi hospital, where they conducted the DNA test.
Confirming the development on his social media pages, the singer shared:
“D- N – A… Done ✅ the Results will be out in 14 Days and we will be Back at @LafemmeHealthcareclinics for the Truth. Honestly I am So Tensed 🥹 ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO A POSITIVE or NEGATIVE RESULT??? 🙆♂️”
The two are now waiting for the results, which will be released after 14 days to ascertain the truth about the woman’s claims.
The outcome is expected to finally put to rest the long-running questions surrounding Bahati’s biological roots.
Background information available online shows that Bahati has, for years, openly shared his story of growing up without knowing his biological parents.
He has previously revealed that he was abandoned shortly after birth and raised in a children’s home, a past that shaped much of his music and personal journey.
His openness about his background has earned him sympathy and admiration from fans who have followed his rise from humble beginnings to stardom.
However, reactions to the DNA test have been mixed. While a section of netizens believe Bahati and the woman are genuinely seeking the truth, many others have dismissed the move as one of his many publicity stunts, citing his history of dramatic online moments and headline-grabbing content.
As the 14-day wait begins, all eyes remain on the results, which could either rewrite a deeply personal chapter of Bahati’s life or confirm the doubts of his skeptics.
