Thursday, January 29, 2026 - A Kenyan woman named Mbiama has gone public with claims that celebrated musician, Otile Brown, is the father of her daughter.She says she has tried reaching out to the singer privately for years, but her efforts have been unsuccessful.According to Mbiama, she has been forced to use social media after Otile allegedly ignored her messages on WhatsApp and Instagram.Her hope, she says, is for him to finally meet his child.In a heartfelt video shared online, she introduces herself and explains her plea:“Hello beautiful people my name is Mbiama, mimi ni mkenya mama wa motto mmoja, niko mbele yenyu siku ya leo kuwambia kua mimi ni mama wa motto mmoja msichana, and ningependa motto wangu apatane na babake.”“Mtoto wangu tangu azaliwe hajawahi patina na babake, na ni vizuri kama mama naeza furahi mtoto apatane na baba yake siku moja.”She adds that she has been trying to reach Otile since her pregnancy but communication has remained poor:“Nimekua nikitafuta baba yake for a long time since I was pregnant but communication was poor.”“Nimekuwa nikitext WhatsApp na Instagram but no replies from Otile. So niko hapa kama mama ambaye anatakia motto wake mazuri.”Mbiama insists that her decision to go public is not about tarnishing the singer’s name but about her daughter’s right to know her father:“So Otile Brown, naomba ujue mimi kuja social media kusema tuko na mtoto siokwamba nataka kukuharibia jina bali nimejaribu kukutafuta, nimejaribu njia zote but sijakupata na nataka wewe na mtoto mpatane juu ataanza kuniuliza who is my dad.”Her revelation has stirred conversation online, with netizens divided - some sympathizing with her situation, while others await Otile Brown’s response.The musician is yet to publicly address the allegations.
