Ghanaian musician KiDi has opened up about the emotional moment he discovered he was going to become a father while he was still a university student, admitting that the news left him frightened and uncertain about the future.

Speaking on the Konnected Minds Podcast, the singer revealed that he was still trying to figure out his own life when he learned he was expecting a child.

“I was scared. I was in uni. I was scared. I was shaken,” he said.

KiDi explained that the news affected his academic life, as he had to deal with resit examinations while carrying the weight of becoming a father.

“It did affect my education because I had resits. It was a thing that was heavy on my thoughts. I wasn’t even KiDi then. I was trying to figure out what my sound was going to be,” he said.

The ‘signature’ hitmaker noted that one of his biggest fears was how he would raise a child when he was still trying to establish himself.

“So how to raise a child? I was still even raising myself. I was still trying to figure out my place in the world. So to come and add another human to that equation was such a scary concept,” he shared.

Despite his fears, KiDi said he found strength in knowing he had the unwavering support of his family, particularly his mother.

“One thing that kept me going was I always find a way. No matter how difficult it was. I knew I had my family. I knew I had those people behind me. My mom was always going to show up for me,” he said.

According to the award-winning musician, that support motivated him to complete his education and successfully write his resit examinations.

“It helped me to finish my education. I even took some vim to go and write my resits,” he added.

KiDi also disclosed that he found out about the pregnancy very early but was unable to accompany the child’s mother to antenatal appointments because they were living in different countries.

“I wasn’t able to be there until he was actually born because we were in different countries,” he explained.
