Bahati said adopting Morgan as his son made many women turn down his romantic advances as they were not ready to play step-mother to the boy.
The 30-year-old singer adopted Morgan as his son in 2014 when he went to perform at the ABC orphanage where he also grew up after his mother passed away.
Bahati spoke about the 13-year-old boy being a very special child to him during an interview with Chipukeezy.
He revealed that he favors Morgan so much that he pays her school fees before he even pays for his other children.
“Before I pay my other children’s tuition, I always pay Morgan,” Bahati said.
Bahati further noted that his wife Diana Marua was the only one who accepted him with his adopted son as many women he was pursuing were not ready to be step-moms to Morgan.
“I live with him. You know many people on the internet have started following us after Diana. This is a child I have had even before I got married. In fact, many women rejected me because of this child because no one was staying with a child that was not theirs,” Bahati said.
He further implored netizens and bloggers to be humane when writing stories involving his son, revealing that Morgan has a very sad story.
Bahati asked Kenyans to avoid attacking Morgan when they attack his family.
“I have no problem with anyone attacking my family, my children. But don’t attack my first child, Morgan. I took this boy during a very difficult season of my life.
“This is a child I gave to a children’s home. He has a very difficult story that I don’t like to repeat. I took him from the children’s home I was in Mathare. Before he was even brought to the Children’s Home, he has a very sad story.
“Therefore, even if you guys are writing to get likes and views, let’s have personality. These are special children,” Bahati said.
Late last month, Bahati wrote a long letter to Morgan, just days after the cyber attacks.
In the letter, he assured Morgan that he is her father despite all the negative things said on social media.
