Singer and entrepreneur Esther Akoth, alias Akothee, has revealed that she is battling fibroids in a raw, late-night Instagram Live session.
In the blistering Instagram Live broadcast on Thursday morning, January 29, 2026, the millionaire singer stunned fans by opening up about her ongoing struggle with fibroids.
The 45-year-old mother-of-five cited the health condition as a major reason why she has “zero patience” for the men currently flooding her inbox with romantic and financial demands.
“Musinitongeze me nko na fibroids. Fibroids! Sina kitu ya kukupatia,” (Don’t hit on me, I have fibroids! I have nothing to give you), Akothee ranted to her millions of followers.
The singer declared that 2026 would be the year she finally stops playing the “bigger person.”
Fed up with being viewed as a “walking ATM” or a “trophy wife” target, Akothee issued a chilling warning to anyone planning to slide into her DMs.
“2026 najitetea (In 2026, I am defending myself),” she warned.
“2026 I will expose you. I am exposing everybody that is even coming to my inbox kunitongoza (to hit on) me.”
She added that she would no longer hide the identities of those asking for money, stating she has “nothing for them” and urging men to work as hard as she does rather than looking for a “bailout.”
Perhaps the most alarming part of her “truth bomb” was the revelation that her personal safety is being compromised in the real world.
Akothee accused service industry workers of harvesting her private phone number from her mobile payment transactions.
“I go to the petrol station, I pay with M-Pesa, then I hear ‘Akothee how are you, I know this is wrong… I took your number when you paid,'” she mimicked with frustration.
“You know it’s wrong already and you are continuing to do it? I will expose you!”
Fibroids
Fibroids—non-cancerous growths in the uterus—can cause debilitating symptoms, including heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, and extreme fatigue.
Akothee’s admission follows a trend of Kenyan celebrities being more transparent about reproductive health, following in the footsteps of figures like Jahmby Koikai, who championed awareness for endometriosis.
For Akothee, the physical toll of her condition has clearly reached a breaking point, making the “entitled” behavior of some fans unbearable.
“I cannot give you my money, I cannot give you my things. Achaneni na mimi (Leave me alone)!” she shouted.
As the star prepares to “clean house” in 2026, her message to the “Boychild” is clear: the Boss Lady is closed for business—and her screenshots are ready to post.
