Nairobi — Under the stage lights and amid the cheers of a thrilled crowd, Kenyan pop sensation Nadia Mukami revealed some very personal news: she is expecting her second child.
Mid-performance over the weekend, Nadia made the announcement in the most Nadia way possible—bold, joyful, and full of energy.
“If I’m dancing with a baby on the way, why are you sitting?” she teased the audience in Swahili, her voice ringing with laughter and pride.
The baby will be her second with longtime partner and fellow musician Arrow Bwoy, known offstage as Ali Yusuf. The couple already share a young son, and Nadia spoke warmly of how motherhood has changed her life.
“I feel so blessed,” she said before taking the stage. “Children come with their own blessings. Mine brought me a big plate,” she added, smiling—a nod to the career deals and endorsement opportunities she’s landed since becoming a mum.
A Love Story in the Spotlight
In a brief chat with the audience, the singer opened up about love, loyalty, and life behind the scenes. She stressed that every relationship is different and urged people to value kindness and faithfulness in their partners.
She also had advice for couples navigating tough times.
“Not every argument needs an audience,” she said. “Sort your issues privately.”
Her words carried the weight of experience. Despite coming from different backgrounds, she and Arrow Bwoy have built what she calls a “deep understanding,” which she credits as the foundation of their lasting bond.
New Music on the Way
It’s not just her family that’s growing. Nadia’s career is also on the move.
This Friday, she’s set to release Overdose, a hotly awaited track featuring Bensoul, one of Kenya’s most acclaimed vocalists. The song will serve as a preview of her upcoming EP, which promises a fresh mix of Afro-pop and soul.
Fans are already buzzing online, praising Nadia not just for her music but for her openness about her life—a rare blend of glamour and grit.
“She’s so real,” tweeted one fan. “Pregnant and still killing it on stage? Iconic.”
Nadia Mukami may be expecting, but slowing down doesn’t seem to be on her agenda. As she dances into her next chapter—on stage and off—Kenya is cheering her on.
