Kanyari explains why he insulted Marion Naipei

Prophet Victor Kanyari has finally broken his silence after his explosive “bush cat” remarks about TikTok star Marion Naipei set social media on fire.

During a chaotic live session, the controversial preacher moved to explain why he referred to Naipei as “paka ya msituni” — even as he splashed cash on her wardrobe and personal upkeep, turning the whole episode into yet another viral spectacle.

“Bush Cat, Go Back to the Bush”

The phrase “paka ya msituni” quickly trended online, with fans split between outrage and amusement. Kanyari insisted the comment was born out of frustration, not insult.

According to him, he had been praying tirelessly for Naipei’s “transformation,” only to keep spotting her on TikTok, glass in hand.

“I was praying for her, but every time I checked TikTok, she was still drinking heavily,” Kanyari claimed.

That, he said, pushed him to snap — telling her to “go back to the bush,” a line that instantly ignited the internet.

Church Makeover — Funded by Kanyari

But the drama didn’t stop there.

Kanyari then turned his attention to Naipei’s dressing, claiming she lacked proper church outfits and often showed up in streetwear. While he initially planned to buy the clothes himself, he opted to hand over cash instead.

After asking how much women’s clothes cost — roughly KSh 2,000 per outfit — the prophet dramatically produced KSh 6,000, enough for three Sunday looks.

He issued a firm warning: this money was strictly for church clothes — not alcohol.

Alcohol Money? Sit Down.

In a twist that stunned viewers, Kanyari then directly addressed Naipei’s drinking habits. He asked her how much she would need for alcohol.

When she casually requested KSh 3,000, the prophet shut it down instantly.

“No,” he said — ordering her to sit, sparking laughter and shock across the live chat.

Media War Erupts

The livestream also turned into a battlefield as Kanyari fired back at radio personalities who had criticised him. Clearly irritated, he accused a broadcaster of disrespecting the church and “defiling the altar.”

“I am of the church. You are a radio station,” he snapped.
“Why is a comedian involving himself with my altar?”

He insisted the altar did not belong to the media and dismissed the criticism as outsiders meddling in his ministry.

A Viral Relationship

Marion Naipei has become a regular feature on Kanyari’s live broadcasts, with the preacher claiming he is on a mission to “reform” her. But so far, the journey has been anything but quiet — marked by cash handouts, public scoldings, fiery clapbacks, and nonstop viral moments.

One thing is clear: when Kanyari and Naipei go live, the internet is guaranteed a show
