Rama Denies Deadbeat Dad Claims, Disputes Shiko Nguru’s Accusations

Rama Oluoch, the former partner of YouTuber Shiko Nguru, has publicly refuted claims that he is a deadbeat father, asserting that he financially supports their children. This comes after Shiko alleged that Rama has abandoned his parental responsibilities, leaving her and her current husband, Mike Mondo, to shoulder the burden.

In an interview with Oga Obinna, Rama addressed the ongoing legal battle with Shiko, stating that he is following his lawyer’s advice and allowing the courts to resolve the matter. He implied that he is unaware of his children’s current school, citing this as a reason for his reluctance to pay school fees directly without court orders.

“I decided, you know what, I will leave it up to the courts,” Rama stated. “Even for me to pay, I need to know I am paying school fees for which school. My case is very complicated. You may find the kids are going to a different school.”

Rama further countered Shiko’s claims of financial neglect, asserting that he has been sending money and possesses receipts to prove it. “I have been sending money, and I have receipts,” he said. “It is only that you cannot go online each time you are accused.” He also mentioned that he has not seen his children since February 2025.

Shiko had previously publicly compared Rama unfavorably to her first child’s father, alleging that Rama had abdicated his responsibilities.

The public response to Rama’s interview has been mixed. Some social media users criticized his approach, questioning his focus on legal battles over his children’s needs, while others urged caution against making judgments without full knowledge of the situation. Comments ranged from accusations of ego-driven behavior to calls for understanding the complexities of their co-parenting situation.

Shiko Nguru and Mike Mondo married privately in September 2024, after a year of dating. They revealed that their relationship began after a first date at a Boyz II Men concert.
