Mjaka Mfine’s profession
This comes a few months after she revealed that her father wanted her to become a lawyer, despite her plans to pursue music.
Speaking on the YouTube show Feast with Friends on Friday, November 21, 2025, Mjaka shared that she was born in Umoja but grew up in Kayole Junction, Obama Estate
From a young age, she loved playing basketball, but her father discouraged her, saying it was a sport for boys and wanted her to focus on more appropriate activities for girls.
Mjaka explained that while she dreamed of becoming a musician, her father refused to support that path. Concerned she might go astray, he moved her to a different school, hoping to guide her toward a safer and more traditional future.
“I was born in Umoja but grew up in Kayole Junction, Obama Estate. I started playing basketball. My dad was like, basketball ni ya wanaume, focus on vitu za wasichana. My dad wanted me to be a lawyer. I wanted to be a musician, you know, I can sing. But pia hiyo, my dad refused. So when I was playing basketball, I was more of a tomboy, and I’m from the ghetto, mzae akaona atapoteza mtoto, akatupeleka ushago, then I started a new life in another school,” she shared.
Mjaka Mfine has also dismissed rumours of a romantic relationship with fellow creator Mokaya, clarifying that their relationship is purely professional. She explained that their close social media presence and frequent photos together reflect their collaboration, not romance.
“No, we are not dating. You know when you date your work partner, kazi haitafanyika. Imagine if I date Mokaya, and then I see him with another girl on set, I will obviously feel jealous. We are just workmates. We take a lot of photos together, it is called winning together.”
