King Kaka's wife Nana Owiti has revealed that she endured abuse at the hands of her former boyfriend.

Nana said that after leaving a relationship that didn't work, she jumped into another one and the man emotionally and physically abused her.

"The first emotional and physical abuse I encountered was when I had just left another relationship that was working a little bit but I did not like some things. I was very intentional about making it work. I was naive and I was just a good girl."

She added;

"He would come home drunk and abuse me and with time I learnt how to survive. When he insulted me, I also reiterated. When he would want to physically abuse me, I would run to the kitchen and get a knife but I realised I might end up killing someone."

She added that the ex would have external stresses and bring them to her and later apologise and they reconcile.

"Then it's a new cycle."
