In an interview with East African TV (EATV), Kiba mentioned that his mother played a very big role in nurturing his singing talent unlike his father who was always travelling, and that’s why he rarely talked about him. He added that he respects the privacy of his family members.

“Baba yangu kiukweli alikuwa ni international driver, alikuwa anasafiri mara kwa mara nchi tofauti tofauti yaani kuchafua bara la Afrika zima. Kwa hivyo alikuwa yupo busy sana muda mwingine alikuwa anaweza kukaa nje ya nchi hata mwezi mmoja au hata mitatu,” said Alikiba.
