Kenyan singer Akothee is a proud mum today as her first son joins the teenage gang.
Akothee's son, Prince Ojwang is turning 13 years, and the mother of five can't keep calm about it.
In a birthday message to her son, Akothee recalls how her inability to give birth to a son during her first marriage did not hold well with some people.
"After giving birth to girls which don't land well in my community, The first child God gave me after my marriage was dissolved is a son!
See blessings, and then I tried again and he gave me another son. Two sons and three daughters! Sometimes blessings lie on the other side of the world.
Happy birthday my children," she said.
