Bahati opened up about his confusion and disbelief after a woman went viral online claiming she is his biological mother. The singer addressed the situation on Instagram on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, sharing that his mother died more than twenty five years ago and that he was present at her burial. The unexpected claim has left him unsure of what to make of the situation.
“But My Mum Died over 25 Years ago, I personally attended the Burial and witnessed her Grave 💔💔💔. This Woman has confused me More. So what Should I Do???” Bahati wrote, expressing how emotionally overwhelming the revelation feels.
The woman made her claims in a widely circulated TikTok video, where she said she is Bahati’s mother and pleaded for his forgiveness. In the video, she explained that although Bahati grew up believing his mother had passed away, she had placed him in a children’s home because she lacked the financial ability to raise him on her own.
She said she feared losing him due to the hardships she was facing and believed he would have a better chance in life if she left him under the care of a home. According to her, watching him succeed while carrying this secret has weighed on her, and she now hopes to reconnect with him.
“Bahati, mimi ni mama yako, nakuja mbele yako kukuomba msamaha, although uliambiwa mama yako alikufa, na si kupenda kwa hao watu wakuambie ivo. Mimi nilikuzaa na nikakupleka children’s home. Sikuwa na uwezo ndo maana nikakupeleka children’s home.
Niliona nikiwa na wewe nitakupoteza, mungu alikuwa amekupangia maisha yako mazuri. Sasa unaona ningekaa na wewe, hungekuwa na iyo maisha mazuri uko nayo. Nakuomba msamaha, naomba ukuje na unitafute. Mimi niko ready kukuomba msamaha, niko ready kufanya DNA. Hii kitu inanisumbua sana, natamani sana kukuona,” she said.
She added that she is ready to take a DNA test to prove her claims and hopes Bahati will meet her. A translated version of her appeal further emphasized her desire to reunite with him and clear the emotional burden she has carried for years.
The claims have sparked debate online, with many waiting to see whether Bahati will pursue a DNA test or address the situation further. Given the emotional weight on both sides, any next steps will likely require careful thought and support.
Could a DNA Test Bring Clarity to the Situation?
The woman has openly stated she is ready for a DNA test, which could provide clarity for both of them. For now, Bahati has not confirmed his next move, but his post shows how deeply shaken he is by the sudden revelation.
The unfolding story has drawn widespread attention, and many are watching to see how the singer chooses to navigate such a sensitive and personal moment.
