The two got divorced last year, but Alikiba's message showed that they are still on good terms and have a strong co-parenting relationship.

In his message, Alikiba referred to Amina as 'mama watoto', which means mother of children in Swahili, and asked Allah to grant her heart's desires.

"Happy birthday mama watoto, ALLAH akupe hitaji lako la moyo," read the caption on Alikiba's post.

The message was accompanied by a video of Alikiba spending time with their sons, showing his love and devotion to his family.
