Rapper King Kaka (Kennedy Ombima) and his wife Nana Owiti have announced their split bringing their 13-year union to an end.
This is a thorough chronology of their matrimony and ultimate separation:
2011: The Beginning
King Kaka (Kennedy Ombima) and Nana Owiti first met at a movie shop. Nana boldly greeted him with a simple “Hi,” which caught Kaka’s attention. Impressed by her confidence, Kaka pursued her, and their first date, which involved watching a movie together, marked the beginning of their relationship.
2014: Their First Child and Infidelity
The couple welcomed their first child, Gweth. However, 2014 also brought a significant challenge when Kaka admitted to being unfaithful. During this time, he had an affair with singer Sage, which resulted in the birth of another child. Ironically, both Nana and Sage were pregnant at the same time. The situation attracted widespread public scrutiny and tested the couple’s bond.
In an honest interview with Massawe Japanni, Nana Owiti revealed her pain after learning of the betrayal. “It was painful to learn of the news, of course. It was almost like an ultimate betrayal. We broke up for seven months before getting back together,” she shared.
Nana ultimately chose to reconcile with King Kaka after he offered a sincere apology and acknowledged his mistakes. “The only reason I stayed is because of what transpired after. He said sorry. We all have baggage, which varies from one person to another,” Nana explained.
2017: Welcoming Their Second Child
The couple welcomed their second child, Prince Iroma, marking a more stable period in their relationship. They focused on parenting and strengthening their family dynamic.
Ongoing Speculation About Family Life
Over the years, rumours about King Kaka’s family life surfaced. One such rumour claimed he had fathered his house help’s child due to the child’s striking resemblance to his son, Iroma.
In an interview with Mpasho, King Kaka dismissed the rumours, saying, “Sijui, but he (Roy) is a very great friend of mine.” He explained that the resemblance was likely due to the close bond they shared as a family. “We’ve been with my house help for over eight years. She’s family. Waache ujinga (People should stop the nonsense),” he added.
Interestingly, Kaka and Nana had ‘adopted’ the house help’s son, further emphasizing their inclusive family dynamic.
May 2024: Rumours of a Split
In May 2024, rumours began circulating that Kaka and Nana were no longer together. Speculation grew on social media as fans questioned the couple’s relationship status.
December 2024: The End
In December 2024, the ex-couple confirmed their breakup on social media. In a heartfelt joint statement, they shared:
“After much reflection and consideration, we have made the difficult decision to end our relationship. Over the course of 13 years, we have shared countless memories, built a life together, and most importantly, raised three incredible children who will always be our top priority.”
They expressed their commitment to co-parenting with love, respect, and stability, while requesting privacy during the transition.
“Our focus remains on co-parenting our children with love, stability, and respect. Their happiness and well-being will always come first.”
