Kenyan singer and businesswoman Esther Akoth, popularly known as Akothee, has recently shared a heartfelt update regarding her son Oyoo, who has undergone two surgeries in 2024. The emotional post, which Akothee shared across her social media platforms, reveals the immense challenges she has faced as a mother watching her son struggle with his health.
According to Akothee, 2024 has been an exceptionally tough year for her son. Oyoo has spent a significant amount of time in and out of the hospital, enduring painful surgeries that have taken a toll on his physical and emotional well-being. Akothee expressed that seeing her child confined to a wheelchair has been one of the hardest experiences of her life.
“This year has been challenging, not just for me but for many. My son Oyoo has undergone two surgeries in one year. 2024, you have shown me what strength looks like. Watching your child confined to a wheelchair cuts deep, reaching the very core of your being,” Akothee shared in the post, revealing the emotional rollercoaster she has been on.
The singer went on to reflect on the importance of showing kindness to others, particularly because no one truly knows the hardships others might be facing behind closed doors. In her message, Akothee urged her followers to be compassionate and understanding, recognizing that people’s personal struggles often go unseen, especially in the age of social media where everything is often curated for public consumption.
“Be kind to people. You never know what people go through off cameras. Get well soon, OYOO DAKTARI. Oyoo Chok jaduong. Sanii jaduong kech ma kata fuolo ji ok fuol e odni. Good morning, my pipooo,” she added, sending her best wishes to her son as he continues his recovery.
The post has resonated deeply with many of Akothee’s followers, who have rallied around the singer and her family with messages of support. In response to Akothee’s update, fans and well-wishers flooded the comments section, expressing their sympathy and sending positive thoughts for Oyoo’s recovery.

This outpouring of love and support underscores the bond between Akothee and her fans, who have consistently stood by her during both her highs and lows. It is also a testament to the power of community and how people can come together to offer comfort and encouragement in times of difficulty.
Oyoo’s health journey, particularly his recovery from the surgeries, is a reminder of the fragility of life and the strength that can be drawn from family and the love of those who care. Akothee’s openness about her son’s challenges highlights the resilience of mothers, especially in the face of adversity. As Oyoo continues his recovery, the singer remains hopeful and continues to encourage kindness, compassion, and strength, both for her son and for everyone facing their own personal battles.
In the end, Akothee’s update serves as a reminder that life is not always as it appears on social media, and behind every smile or glamorous post, there may be untold struggles.
