Vivian took many people by surprise on Mother’s Day when she unveiled a grown girl whom she introduced as her own biological daughter.

The sultry singer, who is dating popular comedian Sam West, was widely thought not to have any kid. She has opened up about her private life before in past interviews but she didn’t mention anything about being a mother.

“My little heartbeat. We’ve been through so much together. God has been good to us????,” Vivian captioned her photo with her daughter which she posted on Mother’s Day.

Why the secrecy?

The ‘Chingi Changa’ hit maker reveals that explains that her daughter’s existence was kept secret from the public because she loves her privacy.

“I am a private person, and it’s a good thing that I posted the picture because I was tired of speculations from people and I decided to demystify the speculations. Besides, anyone who I meet often and work with has always known about my daughter. The most precious thing is my child, anything else is not important,” said Vivian.

Started from the bottom now she is here! Singer Vivian asserts that she will remain humble despite the money and fame. She says that life in poverty taught her a lot.

Vivian is among a few successful artists who came from absolute poverty to make it big. The songbird could still not afford three meals a day when she started out as a singer.

Vivian was once kicked out of stage because she dressed in clothes that depicted poverty. A promoter told her she was poorly dressed and her show was cancelled just like that.

I sold cups, plates, thermos to make ends meet

Vivian recently reminisced about her life as a hawker. The ‘Chingichanga’ hit maker says she used to sell cups, plates, thermos to make ends meet.

The songbird shared an old photo of her eating a piece of watermelon which she says was the only thing she could afford for lunch.

“Anytime I take a look at this picture it reminds me to be more humble. Why should I really boast. By then things were so tough on me. I hadnt started singing. I was a mali mali seller. I sold cups, plates, thermos to make ends meet. The piece of watermelon was my lunch that day. Surely never despise humble beginnings. I look at my life and all I can say is God reigns over our lives. Your current situation is not your future. There is always a brighter day ahead #tbt❤️” Wrote Vivian.

Vivian has opened up about her a painful experience at the hand of a local promoter. The sassy singer revealed that she was blocked from stage thanks to her dressing.

Vivian is currently riding high on ‘Attention’ featuring Redsan. She also has another hit song ‘Charm’ which she featured Jose Chameleone.

Life was hell for the singer before she earned the attention of the whole country. Vivian says her ghettoish look cost her a show some two years ago.

“I have been trying to hide my history but I keep getting convicted to share. About 2 years ago before I released “Teren Teren” my life was a real struggle. I couldn’t afford good clothing worth public appearances. I vividly remember there is a concert I was invited to perform but the promoter refused me to get on stage due to my dressing. He said I was poorly dressed and my dressing looked Ghetto. That broke my heart,” Vivian said in part.

DK Kwenye Beat shared food with Vivian

The singer disclosed that DK Kwenye Beat and another friend were the one who came to her aid. She said that DK offered her food while her friend Tamima gave her clothes.

“At that time I used to earn 4,000 from my Karaoke gig, after deducting the rent, transport, I would survive on less than 500 for a whole month. Things were tough. I have to thank my friend Tamima who saw my suffering and donated some clothing.

“Another friend I need to thank is DK Kwenye Beat for sharing his family food with me. Sometimes I slept hungry. Yes, I was a celebrity but sleeping hungry. My songs were playing everywhere but deep inside I was in agony. My room was empty, no seats. I sat on the floor. I keep thanking God for everything I have now. Now i live in God’s abundance: a good big house,a good car and enough for my fill! His Grace is surely sufficient. For those who are going through tough times.”
