Even the time that she was pregnant with Tiffany, we were with you in Tanzania and went shopping for the baby. She is a woman whom I have loved since the time she came to social media. I love the way she carries herself and the way she handled her relationship with Diamond made me believe there is love."

Ata ile wakati alikuwa na mimba ya Tiffany tulikuwa na wewe Tanzania tukaingia pale babyshop tukafanya few shopping. Ni mwanamke ambaye mimi nilianza kumpenda tangu kitambo alipokuja kwebye mtandao maanake napenda vile Zari anvyojibeba, na vile alivyokuwa akibeba uhusiano kati yake na Diamond. They made me believe that they is love)," Akothee stated during the interview with Mzazi Willy M Tuva.
