Mombasa-based artist Nyota Ndogo has refuted claims that she has died after committing suicide.

She was responding to a post on a group dubbed 'Kenyans in Qatar.'

The post by Sadra Adacha said Nyota Ndogo had committed suicide after a sad breakup with her mzungu bae.

Nyota says she had to call her mum and inform her that she was alive before she got the false news of her alleged passing.

Nyota Ndogo has been going through a rough patch in her marriage after a prank on her Dutch husband during fools day backfired.

Nyota had pranked her hubby into thinking that she is pregnant and he got upset as he thought she had cheated on him.

Speaking during an interview on Kiss FM, the mother of two said she loved her husband and was not after his money.

''There is nothing else I have done wrong to my husband. I have tried to look back, but I don't remember any other mistake I did before April fool's day.

I only pranked my husband on April 1, telling him I am pregnant. He said 'Waaah!' then hang up," said Nyota Ndogo 

According to Nyota Ndogo, her husband must have been angered by the thought that another man is responsible for the pregnancy.

"He left Kenya in January 8 and was to come back in may. I think he was shocked because we had not been talking about pregnancy, and he hadn't seen a baby bump during our video calls. He must have thought that I was impregnated by another man," she said.
