Pierra Makena recently opened up about a period in her life when rumors circulated that DJ Mo was the father of her daughter. Reflecting on that time, she admitted that the widespread speculation even made her question the resemblance between DJ Mo and her daughter, Ricca Pokot. The whispers grew louder as people compared their photos, sparking rumors that threatened to strain her friendship with Size 8, DJ Mo’s wife. Despite the public assumptions, Pierra emphasized that if there had been any truth to the speculation, she would have openly acknowledged it. She shared that she and DJ Mo are good friends and found humor in the situation as it unfolded.
Pierra explained that the rumors were particularly stressful because of her close friendship with Size 8, and she worried about the potential impact on their relationship. She recalled moments of disbelief when she looked at her daughter and questioned the resemblance herself. Yet, she maintained that her bond with DJ Mo had always been purely platonic, and they both laughed off the gossip.
As her daughter Ricca grows older, she has started asking Pierra challenging questions, including inquiries about how she came into the world. Pierra, who has chosen to raise her daughter as a single mother, navigates these conversations with openness and honesty. Ricca, now nine years old, recently achieved a major milestone by landing a co-hosting role on Akili TV’s Saturday Morning Show. Despite her new role, Ricca remains dedicated to her studies, with Pierra ensuring her daughter’s schedule is well-balanced to prioritize both education and television commitments.
Ricca has also shown a flair for performing, with many predicting that she might follow in her mother’s footsteps. Pierra proudly shared how they celebrated Ricca’s birthday in 2024 with a thoughtful surprise—a large inflatable pool. The young girl’s reaction was filled with joy and amazement, and she expressed her gratitude with a big hug for her mother. Pierra revealed that Ricca had long wanted an inflatable pool, making the gift a dream come true for her.
The bond between mother and daughter is strong, with Ricca even opening up about her desire for siblings. During a candid moment, she asked her mother to consider having more children, revealing her longing for the companionship of a brother or sister. She also shared a sweet detail about her father, mentioning that he had given her KSh 50,000, which she safely kept in the bank without her mother’s initial knowledge. Pierra chuckled at her daughter’s honesty and noted that the conversation about siblings would be revisited in the future.
Through all the rumors and personal milestones, Pierra continues to embrace single motherhood with grace and humor, focusing on raising her daughter with love and openness. Their close-knit relationship and candid conversations are a testament to their bond, reflecting resilience and joy amidst public scrutiny.
