After a period of being on and off the media, with fans noting her absence from new content both online and offline, Kalala posted a striking black-and-white photo captioned “New chapters.” Under the post, one fan asked, “Umepotelea wapi?” (loosely translated to “Where are you?”).
In her trademark cheeky style, Kalala replied simply: “Niko na mimba” (“I am pregnant”).
Mixed Reactions From Fans
The comment immediately sparked mixed reactions. Some social media users rushed to congratulate her, while others dismissed it as one of her playful jokes. True to her enigmatic persona, Kalala has not provided any evidence to confirm or deny the claim, leaving fans guessing.
King Kalala’s Rise to Fame
