Babette Van Aalst, the mother of KiDi’s son Zane, made a rare public appearance at the singer’s latest album listening session in Accra, attracting attention from fans.

KiDi’s latest album event had plenty of star power, but one person’s appearance quietly stole the attention online. The Ghanaian Afropop star held an album listening session in Accra on Tuesday, August 25, bringing together several personalities from Ghana’s entertainment and social scenes. Among those present was Babette Van Aalst, the mother of KiDi’s son, Zane. Babette generally keeps a low profile, making her appearance at the event particularly interesting to fans who rarely see her at public gatherings connected to the singer.
Babette Steps Out for KiDi
The listening session was held at Array Restaurant in Osu and was hosted by Oshew Media. The event attracted personalities including Cina Soul, Lasmid, Dulcie Boateng, Doreen Avio, Ama Burland, Adwoa Noella and Charlie Dior. But footage from the evening showed Babette in attendance, quietly supporting the father of her son. Her appearance quickly attracted attention online, particularly because she is known for maintaining a relatively private life despite her connection to one of Ghana’s biggest music stars.
KiDi’s Emotional Moment With His Son
The night became even more memorable when KiDi’s son Zane joined the Q&A segment. Zane asked his father how much he had helped him throughout his life.
KiDi responded with an emotional declaration:
“Infinity to infinity, from infinity to infinity. My number one inspiration, I love you.”
The singer then jokingly told his son it was time to go to bed before repeating that he loved him.The exchange generated a warm reaction from the audience.
Babette’s Reaction
Babette was reportedly emotional during the touching father-and-son moment. According to the footage, she handed her smartphone to Zane so that he could interact with his father during the event. The moment gave fans a glimpse into a family dynamic that is normally kept away from the public eye. Rather than the usual celebrity spectacle, the evening briefly became a family moment between a father, his son, and his son’s mother.
Why Her Appearance Matters
Babette’s appearance has generated interest largely because of how private she has remained. She is not a regular fixture at KiDi’s public events, and she generally keeps her personal life away from the constant attention that follows the musician. Her presence at the album listening event has therefore prompted fans to celebrate the apparent family support surrounding KiDi’s latest musical project. The event centered on KiDi’s upcoming album, Where Do We Go From Here, but the emotional exchange with his son became one of the most memorable moments of the evening.
KiDi’s album listening session turned into more than a celebration of music after his son Zane shared a touching moment with him, and his mother, Babette Van Aalst, made a rare public appearance. For fans, it was a refreshing glimpse into the personal side of a musician who usually keeps his family life relatively private.
Do you think KiDi and Babette’s rare public family moment shows a beautiful side of their relationship as parents?
