-After splitting with her husband, she decided to join her brother in Mombasa. At that time, he was running a taxi business and they would therefore drive the taxi in turns and share the profits. The little profit she got from the taxi business was spent on her family.

“So when you want to come and fall in my plans and I already have five kids, and you have no child: Do you think I will be pregnant for you – no way! If you want to come to me bare-handed and you want me to be paying your bills, I am sorry it won’t happen”.
-Having many kids is her hobby, and wishes she could fall pregnant again.
-Akothee is said to be dating Nelly Oaks who doubles up as her manager.
