RADIO PRESENTER RAE KIRAGU OPENS UP ON HER DAD’S DEATH AND HOW HER BABY DADDY USED ALL HER SAVINGS

SoundCity radio presenter Rae Kiragu opened up on her dad’s death and how it affected her. The radio presenter said her dad’s death took a toll on her to the point that she would cry all the time, and she was forced to move back home during the grieving period. 

“He passed away in 2012 and I think I didn’t realize it then but after that everything I was doing was just to fill that void even without me thinking what I was doing. I would cry all the time, I had a strong circle of friends, my mum never left my side, I never left hers also. In fact, I moved back home after my dad died, just for me and my mum and we’ve been together ever since,” she said. 

The gorgeous mother of one added that following her dad’s demise she worked a lot so as to avoid spaces to think about her dad’s loss.

“After that I dumped myself into work which helped my career grow because then I was really involving myself everywhere because I didn’t want to have spaces of time where I’d realise just what I’ve lost. My dad and I were super close,” added Rae. 

Rae also spoke of an instance where her baby daddy swindled all her savings that was meant for starting a business during the covid pandemic.

“It was during covid pandemic in 2020 and banks were not giving loans so we started saving. I didn’t have a sacco account but he had one which was dominant. We saved in his account, the account was not joint. When they say love is blind, you see all the red flags afterwards. I was just there on trust and love because I thought it’s ours. Six months later, we were going to the sacco to get a loan and start a business. I will never forget that new year’s eve, my brother called me saying my boyfriend had called him borrowing a substantial amount of money. 

When I asked my boyfriend about it, he laughed with me. The next morning I called my bro back and he goes, ‘this guy borrowed x amount of money, are you guys good?’ I was like why would he borrow money and we had savings? This was now six months of savings that we are supposed to get the loan in January 2021. It turns out the x amount he borrowed he was trying to cover for the savings money he used,” she recalled.
