The musician Nameless has been forced to deal with fans who are pressuring him to deliver a baby boy after welcoming a baby girl a few days earlier.
Nameless has been bragging about videos and pictures of himself with his three daughters while expressing how pleased he is to be a father.
Nameless said in one article that he had come to the realization that what matters is how the parent raises the child by shaping their character, not the gender of the child.
“Meanwhile, I came to realize with my second baby Kio, it’s not about the sex of the baby, it’s about how you will bring him or her up and help mold their character. That’s what really matters! I continue to pray for wisdom to guide yet another beautiful soul to be the best she can be to herself and the world… I am a happy soul and ready for this newly added purpose!”
A fan who claimed to be a member of Daphine stated;
“Tafuta Kijana boss. Your legacy, we are Africans.”
Nameless apparently used the remark as a way to challenge his followers’ beliefs and look for fresh approaches to relating to one another as people in reaction to it.
“Saa zingine tunajiangusha na traditions that are outdated. I understand that we have been taught to follow our culture or tradition without question, but the truth is we are suppose to use our wisdom to identify the parts of our culture that are unfair or unprogressive and let them go, as we adopt more progressive, fair and better ways of thinking and living … Cultural evolution is where my leadership flourishes…”
Fans of Nameless responded to the comment as follows:
Rosaline Wanjiku: Big up to you Nameless. The sex of the child does not matter enjoy successful fatherhood. That African mentality of boy child is a better child is not in you. You have a blessed family.Some men have left their wives bcoz of bearing girls alone and other boys alone.You are a good example.
jeannetteshiru: True story..I know an old man…had 3 beautiful daughters..chased them away with their mother for not having boys.he re married,had 3 boys.his wish was granted..boys grew up into adulthood..as of today,2 are drunks and 1 is still “figuring” himself out…as for the 3 girls,now women,they are super successfull,got their PHDS..and are breaking those glass ceilings,holding some very big big jobs…so my friends,lets not..lets just not be this shallow…congratulations once again Nameless and Wahu
mrlenny254: Well said. Mtoto ni mtoto whether boy or girl..haijalishi
organicbrwnsuga: That statement speaks volume to the author’s biases and issues! We move! Children are a blessing…whether boy or girl! Congratulations to you and Wahu! You are blessed and highly favored…lots of sugar and spice and all things nice! Those beauties will spoil you rotten in your good, ripe old age when that time comes…
xerah5: 😢 this is extremely SAD, as a society we should embrace girls too, I know of a man who left her wife because she bore him 3 beautiful girls and no son.
evegitau01: Its even sad when its a woman who wrote that… just because she doesnt blv in herself thinks every other woman is useless to lead
