The controversy surrounding the identity of Kenyan musician Kevin Kioko Bahati has taken a new turn after a young woman claiming to be his sister publicly rejected the results of a recent DNA test that ruled out her mother as the singer’s biological parent.
The dispute began when a woman came forward claiming that she was Bahati’s biological mother. The allegation quickly sparked widespread debate on social media and among fans, prompting a DNA test to establish the truth behind the claims.
When the test results were released, they indicated that the woman was not the singer’s biological mother. The findings appeared to settle the matter from a scientific standpoint. However, the woman’s daughter has now challenged that conclusion, saying the results do not change what she believes about their relationship with the musician.
In a video circulating online, the young woman expressed disappointment with the outcome and defended her mother, insisting that her personal conviction remains unchanged.
According to her, she strongly believes Bahati is her brother despite the laboratory findings. She argued that people were too quick to dismiss the possibility and suggested that physical resemblance between them should prompt further reflection.
The woman also questioned why her mother would randomly identify Bahati if there was no truth behind the claim. In her view, the situation cannot simply be explained as a mistake or coincidence.
She further dismissed accusations from some social media users who suggested that the family might be motivated by the singer’s financial success. The young woman insisted that their intention was never to seek money but rather to receive recognition and emotional connection from someone they believe to be a relative.
According to her, the family has managed their lives independently and does not depend on Bahati’s wealth. What they hoped for, she said, was acknowledgement and the possibility of building a family relationship.
The woman also pointed to her mother’s emotional reaction after the DNA results were announced, describing the tears as genuine and a reflection of deep pain. Witnessing her mother cry so intensely, she said, made the situation even more difficult for the family.
Meanwhile, Bahati has responded briefly to the controversy. After the DNA results became public, the musician signaled that he was ready to move on from the issue.
In a short message shared online, he indicated that the matter had already been resolved and asked the public to allow him some peace following the test results.
Despite the scientific findings, the debate continues online, with some observers urging the family to accept the outcome while others remain curious about the claims and the emotional reactions surrounding the case.
