Award-winning Kenyan singer Akothee has released a new video for her latest single, Baby Daddy. The mother of five says she hopes the song will highlight the struggle of single parenthood in poverty-stricken environments.
"The video envisions social and economic transformation due to paternal figures abdicating their roles in the family unit. You will see these cases daily in the news where men throw out their women on the streets and the domino effect of this actions impact negatively on the children," says Akothee.
Akothee plays the role of the single mother, who was thrown out of her home with her children. The video hopes to increase awareness on the impact of poverty on children, and the overall effects of single parenthood in poverty-stricken environment.
She adds, "A single mother has a backbone made of steel and a heart of gold."
Additionally, the video highlights challenges women face to secure food security and welfare of their children in absence of their fathers. Baby Daddy was produced by Akothee's personal producer Herbert Skillz who is based in Manchester, UK.
