Nkosi Nathi on DNA test of his newborn baby
“Today was meant to celebrate my first Father’s Day. I’m shattered beyond words. Nine months ago, I was introduced to the news that I would be a father. I cared for my unborn child and she became my world. I spent some time with her and it was a life-changing experience.
She was born on May 20th, a day before my birthday. After some incidents, her mother and I agreed to do a DNA test. The results came back negative, I am NOT her father.
I’m making this post to encourage other brothers out there: take the test. It is uncomfortable but the truth is vital. With all that has happened, I still want to be a part of the better and responsible generation of men. Let’s not let situations get ahead of us. We have a lot of LIFE to live. The support from my family has been insane. One thing about me: I know how to choose my friends.
I’m traumatized but stable, on a healing journey, and taking care of my mental health. Some really dope projects are coming up, I can’t wait to share them with you! The work does not stop, I shall continue to be…YOUR FAVORITE DIRECTOR”
