Renowned musician David Mathenge, famously known as Nameless, has shed light on how he and his wife, Wahu, navigated societal pressure regarding the gender of their youngest child, Shiro.

Addressing attendees at an event where Sai Pharmaceuticals Kenya Limited announced the Mathenges as the official brand ambassadors for the upgraded NipNap Premium Baby Diapers, Nameless shared insights into their parenting journey.

Prior to publicly revealing their pregnancy, Nameless disclosed that they had already undergone scans and were confident they were expecting a baby girl, despite widespread speculation anticipating a boy.

"When we announced that we were expecting a child, we knew we were expecting a girl, even when everyone was telling us they knew it was going to be a boy," Nameless recounted, emphasizing their unwavering certainty.

For the Mathenges, Nameless stressed that their priority has always been the health of their children rather than their gender. "It’s really not about a boy or a girl; it’s about a healthy baby," he underscored.

The proud father of three expressed his joy in parenting daughters, emphasizing that it does not diminish his role as a parent. "A baby that you can be able to impact. For us, we were excited that Shiro came healthy and as the beautiful shiny star she is. I am always super excited about being baba girls," he added affectionately.

Regarding his decision to feature on the packaging of the NipNap Premium Baby Diapers, Nameless emphasized the importance of shared parenting responsibilities. "I decided to be in the picture because I want to pass the message that bringing up a child is not only a woman’s affair but an affair of both parents being present in their children’s lives," he explained.

Wahu expressed her delight in partnering with NipNap, stating, "Partnering with NipNap has been a fantastic journey. They supported our reality show, This Love, and we’ve built a strong relationship together. I’m thrilled to work with them."

During the launch, Mr. Rajiv Joshi, CEO of SPKL’s Hygiene Division, expressed excitement about partnering with Nameless and Wahu as they rebranded. He highlighted the extensive testing and refinement of their products, ensuring they exceed industry standards.

The colorful event, held at Movenpick Nairobi, was attended by Nameless and Wahu's close family members, marking the beginning of an exciting collaboration.
