Musician and businesswoman Esther Akoth, popularly known as Akothee, has offered a candid explanation for the dramatic shift in her public life, including her newfound interest in golf.
In a lengthy statement posted on her official Facebook account, the self-proclaimed ‘Madam Boss’ revealed that a series of devastating health issues and personal trauma prompted her decision to prioritize well-being and privacy.
She captioned her post with a picture of herself on a golf course.
The singer, known for her flamboyant social media presence, stated she is now in a "healing era," having emerged from a "very dangerous zone".
The change involves intentionally stepping back from the public eye and focusing on physical and emotional recovery.
The Health Scare: Blood Clots, Fibroids, and Migraines
Akothee revealed that her body issued a "yellow card" after suffering silently from multiple ailments.
She disclosed her medical conditions, which included being diagnosed with a blood clot, severe migraines, and uterine fibroids.
“I was diagnosed with severe migraines, ablood clot, and uterine fibroids. They can’t locate where the blood clot is exactly. Last time they gave me blood thinner medication, a drug that caused an adverse reaction, I lost consciousness for about three hours.”

These conditions, she explained, were physically and mentally taxing, serving as a catalyst for her new lifestyle.
She said she felt her health was deteriorating daily, prompting a total re-evaluation of her life and priorities.
"The first step was to put myself on a time-out," she wrote, emphasizing the need to step away from the relentless demands of her career and public life.
Emotional Trauma and the Healing Journey
The musician also opened up about the emotional toll caused by a recent personal matter. She revealed that the discovery of "ugly stuff" and "the truth" led to a period of intense distress, necessitating professional help.
“I have come out of a very dangerous zone, and I have been healing in private. I am in my second month of therapy.”
She described going for days without sleep or food, constantly questioning and answering herself.
"The trauma I went through after finding out the truth and some ugly stuff left me shaking," she shared.
Akothee noted that her emotional instability was so severe that she would break down during simple interviews, which she initially could not explain. Through therapy, she realized she was experiencing emotional abuse.
Finding Solace in Golf and Privacy
Her current "healing era" has seen her commit to therapy and embrace a more private and calmer lifestyle, which includes taking up golf.
This activity is symbolic of her new focus on self-care and finding peace, following her previous whirlwind life.

The singer assured her fans that she will return with positive news once she is emotionally stable. She also requested that the media respect her privacy during this sensitive time.
“Dear bloggers, I understand this might be intriguing news, but I kindly request some private space.”
This is not the first time Akothee has been in the headlines regarding her health and personal life. In late 2023, she first revealed she was undergoing therapy to deal with trauma.
Despite her wealth and numerous business ventures, including a foundation that supports vulnerable communities in Migori and Turkana counties, her personal journey continues to inspire a mixture of intrigue and support from her followers.
