US singer Kelis gives her goats unique and humorous names
By Nancy Marende, April 3, 2026American singer Kelis has introduced a group of goats and revealed the unique names she has given them.
In a video shared on Instagram on Friday, April 3, 2026, the Milkshake hitmaker could barely contain her excitement as she showed off the animals.
“I got some goats, yeey,” she said, laughing as the playful animals moved around behind her.
Kelis explained that she had already chosen meaningful and humorous names for each one.
“This is Assata Shakur; this is Angela Davis, and over there is Fannie Lou Hamer.” The singer appeared proud to name her goats after iconic Black activists, blending her admiration for history with her growing passion for farming.
All the names represented black icons who shaped narratives across the globe in the civil rights movement.
Assata Shakur was a prominent African American activist and a member of the Black Panther Party and the Black Liberation Army (BLA), while Fannie Lou Hamer was a titan of the American Civil Rights Movement, known for her plain-spoken power, her booming singing voice, and an unbreakable spirit that grew out of the literal dirt of the Mississippi Delta.
But Kelis did not stop there. She also introduced a fourth goat with a more humorous twist.
“And the white one is Mzungu. I just had to look it up its hilarious. I literally looks like kidrock or something. Her hair is amazing its like a like crazy pam.”
Kelis has been sharing snippets of her farming journey with fans after embracing a more grounded, agricultural lifestyle in recent years.
Onions
This comes a few days after Kelis expressed excitement after successfully harvesting her first batch of onions on her farm in Kenya.
Sharing her experience on Instagram on Thursday, April 2, 2026, the singer said she was thrilled to be back in the country, describing it as a place she loves spending time in.
“So I’m back in Kenya, I love being here. It was super rainy earlier, but now the sun has come out,” she said.
Kelis revealed that the harvest marks a significant milestone in her farming journey, noting that it is her first full round of onion production.
She credited her local team, including Peter and Schola, for their support in managing the farm operations while she is away.
“I’m here with Peter and Schola, they have been super amazing and helping when I am not here,” she said, adding that the team is currently preparing the produce for sale.
The onions are being sorted and graded before being supplied to clients and local markets, where the farm also operates a stall.
The singer described the process as both intensive and rewarding.
