Flamboyant Kenyan singer Esther Akoth, popularly known as Akothee, has disclosed that she fears getting pregnant more than she is afraid of contracting the novel coronavirus. Akothee made the revelations while clarifying that she is not expectant after duping her fans with a fake pregnancy scan.
In the Instagram post, Akothee explained that men often deny responsibility or go missing over pregnancy. “I am afraid of pregnancy more than I fear corona. I can infect others with corona if I don’t wear a mask, but I cannot infect anyone with pregnancy. Whose pregnancy will I be carrying?” she said. “Please let me dream about pregnancy, everyone is allowed to dream. Pregnancy can make you drunkard even for just sipping water.”
