“They took turns to molest me” Kabi wa Jesus on horrifying experience with relatives as a child

It has taken about a year for Kabi wa Jesus to explain his relationship with his family and why he had a child with one of his cousins knowing very well many would call him out for incest. Okay, cousins do marry (huko mbali…) but in our African culture this is forbidden at all costs.

However years ago Kabi wa Jesus got intimate with one of his favorite cousins – a relationship that resulted into parenthood. He however managed to keep this secret from the public until one of his many cousins living abroad exposed him for child neglect – hence the uncle daddy story.

What we didn’t know is that at the time Kabi alleges he was not aware of this is wrong. This is simply because he grew up seeing his relatives do it and who is he to act like a goat among the sheep? So he joined the bandwagon.

It was news that this guy had slept with his cousin and the reason for me before I got born again is it was not an issue. She is not the first one I had slept with so many others.

How it all started

Well having been bashed, lost deals and branded a deadbeat – Kabi wa Jesus says some of these things he is not to blame. This is because no one knows his childhood and how some mistakes came to be.

According to him, it started when he was around 4 years with relatives giving him alcohol, then it graduated to child molestation – something many were shocked to hear. Speaking about those who molested him as a child, Kabi wa Jesus said;

They would molest me taking turns. I would be left by my parents then hao wasee come and molest me. Something happened between my parents and I had to go back to ushago and when I went again some of my relatives took turns molesting me.

Adding that some of these people were at the age of 30 years – they knew what they were doing and being a child he didn’t really have much of a choice than to obey…..but again, didn’t his parents teach to tell on people?

(Growing up I remember my mum insisting “mtu sishike hapa (Vagina) Ama hapa (booty)” the warning was so strict that you’d be cautious at all times)

Anyway he went on to add;

So unajua yaani nikilala na mtu flani inahappen. Imagine a young child. Some of the relatives are at the age of 30. And I grew up in that and I know that if not all most of you know what happened last year. There was an incident of a cousin of mine coming out and saying we slept together and so many of you were like, ‘Eh yaani amelala na cousin yake?’ This man is bad.

Mmmh – well we all have stories to tell right? But damn that was a bombshell from Kabi.
