Alright, let’s try another funny headFrom Hymns to “Hi, Mommies!”: Elijah Kitaka’s Unexpectedly Fertile Exploration of the Outside World
Ugandan singer Elijah Kitaka, the voice behind those ballads that make hearts flutter (and maybe cause a few unexpected life decisions, apparently!), recently shared some rather personal details during a chat on Tusker Malt Conversations. Kitaka revealed a family chart that’s got a few more entries than expected: he’s a proud father of three children, brought into the world by two different and equally… efficient… mothers.
Now, Kitaka wasn’t spilling tea; he was openly sharing his journey. But the way he framed his early foray into fatherhood? Pure comedic gold! He linked it directly to his post-church exploration of “worldly things.” One can only imagine what those “worldly things” entailed – perhaps a crash course in baby-naming and a sudden subscription to “Toddler Monthly” magazine?
“I have three beautiful children — two beautiful girls and one handsome son,” Kitaka stated, probably with the serene smile of a man who’s mastered the art of multitasking – both on the stage and at home. “There are two mothers. My firstborn has her own mother, and the other two share the same mom.” This has led to speculation about the logistics of family photos – perhaps a wide-angle lens and a very patient photographer are involved.
The real chuckle-inducer came when Kitaka revealed the timeline. His first foray into fatherhood happened when he was just “19 or 20 years old,” right after he’d traded the pews for… well, parenthood. “I had just left church and entered worldly things,” he explained, with the innocent tone of someone who accidentally stumbled upon a life-altering adventure. “So along the way, that’s when I got these children while trying to find myself. I didn’t know much about worldly things since I spent most of the time in church.”
This paints a hilarious picture: young Elijah, fresh out of church, navigating the complexities of the world and, oh by the way, becoming a father, not once, but thrice! It’s like his journey of self-discovery came with a “buy one, get two free” offer on adorable little humans.
The mental image of a young Kitaka, perhaps still figuring out guitar chords, simultaneously learning how to change diapers, is inherently funny. It’s as if his exploration of “worldly things” had a particularly enthusiastic and immediate outcome.
So, while it wasn’t gossip, Elijah Kitaka’s honest sharing about his early fatherhood journey, linked to his “worldly” awakening, is undeniably amusing. It’s a testament to the fact that life, much like a good song, can have unexpected and wonderfully full arrangements! We can only applaud his candor and imagine the stories he’ll have for his kids when they’re old enough to appreciate the comedic timing of their arrival.
