Musician Kelvin Kioko aka Bahati has responded after Kenyan netizens claimed he was not the biological father to three of his children.
Over the weekend and most of Monday, Bahati, his wife Diana Marua and their entire family were trending on various social networks where netizens discussed the paternity of their children.
Bahati’s adopted son Morgan was said to have been fathered by Victor Wanyama while his daughter Heaven was said to have been sired by KRG The Don and his younger son Majesty was said to be Abel Mutua’s biological child.

The paternity allegations prompted Victor Wanyama to angrily fire at netizens, warning them to desist from such antics.
Bahati too reacted after netizens claimed he was not the biological father to his kids.
In a brief statement on Monday evening, a visibly unconcerned Bahati posted a video of her family and boasted about how they are the subject of news.
“We are The Bahati’s… We are the News Makers!!! Leo Wanasemaje??? 😊❤️😎 @diana_marua @thebahatisfamily,” Bahati said under the video he posted on Instagram.
The video that the musician posted captured the good times of him, his wife and their children in their luxury home.
Among the things that netizens attacked the Bahati family on Sunday and Monday was Diana Marua’s clothing style during the family photo session. Some Kenyans saw the dress that the mother of three children wore in the pictures as inappropriate and criticized her for it.
In the comment section of her post on Sunday where she uploaded a picture of herself and her son Morgan Bahati, many netizens did not seem to focus on the good words that Bahati’s wife wrote to her foster son but instead focused on the dress she wore. Most of those who commented seemed to attack her for her choice of clothing while some mocked her.
A group of social media users who gave their opinion seemed to advise the mother of three children to be careful with the clothes she wears in front of her children, some criticized her, some defended her while others claimed that her underwear was seen in the picture.
