“I thought my life was meaningless. I thought I was such a failure and a massive disappointment to my parents. I wanted to do myself (and the world) a Favor and just die. I remember walking past my dad’s medicine cabinet and just thinking how easy it would be to just ‘end this’.”

The 36-year-old singer, who is married to fellow singer Nameless, said she never expected to live to see her 25th birthday.

“I remember thinking that I would never live to celebrate my 25th birthday, and if I did, I’d be nuts. Like literally a Mathare case. Looking back now all I can say is the devil is a liar!!” she said.

“Look at ALL what he didn’t want me to enjoy! A career that I love, a family I adore, and an opportunity to encourage so so many young people. Don’t believe the -ve whispers that sink you into depression. Don’t believe them at all. You have to know that your future is absolutely bright. And the bigger your struggle appears to be, the greater your future is. So give thanks even in times of hardship because success and happiness is just around the corner. I love you all, and wish you all the very best that life has to offer.”

The sassy singer, who started her musical career in 2000, is now way past 25 years and has two daughters, Tumiso Nyakwea and Nyakio.
