Influencer Nana Owiti has opened up on how she is coping with life after splitting with her fiancé and father to her children rapper King Kaka. The celebrity couple had been together for 13 years.

The year 2024 has been one of the most difficult and also the best of my years. It’s a balance I guess.

Turning things around after the split hasn’t been easy, but we are hanging in there. I thank God. His grace has been amazing, He has given me clarity.

I didn’t like how I trended following our split announcement. But thanks to bloggers they made it go viral and wrote all manner of things about me. I have never trended in Kenya and I did so for the wrong reasons. I don’t like it.

I was molested by my uncle as a child. I was nine living upcountry with my grandparents as my mother worked in Nairobi. That explains why we’ve never had a deep connection.

My deepest regret in life was not telling my mother in black and white about my child molestation experiences before she passed on. It was deep and weighed down on my heart but I said it to her in the sweetest way. When I opened up to her she never believed me.

Child molestation is trauma you carry over and over because of what happened to you and this is why I still have trust issues.

Growing up we lived in an iron sheet house. It had so many open spaces and would let in a lot of wind at night and dust during the day. I don’t regret anything. I don’t even wish my current troubles away.

If I was to go back in time I wouldn’t change a thing because those experiences shaped the person, I am today. I had to go through the fire to become the almost refined gem I’m soon becoming. Growth is forever.
