Bahati’s Baby Mama Yvette Obura Buys Daughter Mueni a Red iPhone for 10th Birthday

Kenyan media personality Yvette Obura has started her daughter Mueni's birthday celebrations early. Mueni is set to turn 10 years old this month.

Ms Obura, the mother of musician Bahati’s first child, gifted Mueni a brand-new iPhone. This extravagant gift is the first of many planned presents.

The Expensive Birthday Present

The image posted on social media shows the gift being unboxed. The gadget is a vibrant Product RED edition iPhone. Based on the camera lens arrangement, the phone appears to be a recent model, likely an iPhone 13 or 14.

New Apple iPhone 14 models retail in the Kenyan market for between KSh 75,400 and KSh 116,000, depending on the variant and storage capacity.

Ms Obura confirmed the purchase was timed to coincide with Black November sales. She shared that she intends to buy her daughter at least ten items she has been requesting.

“It’s Mueni’s birthday month, we are turning 10. My plan is to get her at least 10 things she’s always asked for.”

The True Reason for the Gift

Beyond celebrating the milestone birthday, Ms Obura revealed a deeper, emotional reason for her generosity. She explained that the gift is a reward for Mueni’s exemplary behaviour.

“Apart from her birthday, she performed well, she’s been respectful and responsible...I choose to show her love and appreciation in small ways,” she added.

More importantly, Ms Obura cited an emotionally supportive moment from the past. She recalled a period she described as her "lowest" point.

During this time, Mueni, who was just eight years old, offered profound comfort. Ms Obura shared the exact words of her daughter:

"Mommy, this is nothing, God will bless you...she never once complained"

Mueni's actions then were a pivotal turning point for her mother. Yvette stated that this moment solidified her commitment. She referred to her daughter as an "intercessor".

“And I’ll give her everything because I remember in my lowest just at 8 years, she hugged me and told me ‘Mommy, this is nothing, God will bless you...she never once complained’. God blessed me with an intercessor in the form of a daughter,” she said.

Co-Parenting Background

Mueni's father is the popular Kenyan musician Bahati. Mueni is often in the public eye due to her parents’ status.

Yvette Obura and Bahati have navigated a notable co-parenting relationship over the years. Mueni spends considerable time with Bahati, his wife Diana Marua, and her step-siblings.

The family has maintained a public presence, often sharing details of their lives.
