Kanyari leaks texts between him and Betty Bayo’s daughter, Sky

Pastor Victor Kanyari has posted yet another private conversation with his daughter, Sky Victor—extending a week-long streak of leaked screenshots as he attempts to defend himself against claims that he has not been supporting his children financially.

The controversial preacher has been insisting he has always paid his children’s school fees, even saying he recently contributed KSh 500,000. Many Kenyans, however, remain unconvinced.

Sky’s Heartfelt Thank-You Message

In his latest post, Kanyari uploaded a WhatsApp chat with Sky, whom he has saved as “Sky My Daughter.” In the exchange, Sky warmly thanks him for clearing her school fees.

“Thank you Baba, you are the best. Now I can go to school. You are the best father anybody can ask for,” she wrote.

Kanyari replied with a penguin and baby bottle emoji—an odd combination that left Sky confused.

Another screenshot shows Sky informing him she is breaking for midterm and asking when he plans to pick her up.

Kenyans Push Back: “Why Are You Doing This?”

The reaction online has been divided, with many questioning the pastor’s intentions.

Novince Euralia called out the timing, pointing out that the messages appear to be from 2023 and 2024, yet he is releasing them now—right when Sky has publicly asked people to stop trolling her fathers.

Mary Kazz Njoroge also questioned why Kanyari was presenting the act of paying school fees as though he deserved applause for it.

Family Tension After Betty Bayo’s Death

The screenshots come amid swirling rumours of custody tensions between Kanyari and Sky’s stepfather, Hiram “Tash” Gitau, following the death of their mother, singer Betty Bayo.

Sky and her younger brother Danny are Kanyari’s children, and though the parents had separated, they had been co-parenting until Bayo’s passing.

Sky Sets the Record Straight

In a recent emotional video, Sky dismissed talk that she is choosing sides or distancing herself from her biological father.

“I still love both of my fathers. I’m not picking sides; I love them both. Life will continue whether she is here or not,” she said.

She pleaded with the public to stop harassing both men.

“Please be careful. Don’t bully my Baba or my Dad. You don’t know what’s happening behind the scenes.”

A Daughter Grieves

Sky also opened up about the devastating loss of her mother, recalling the pain of watching her coffin being lowered.

“I want mum to rest in peace. She was buried yesterday, and it was painful watching her go down. I’m lost for words, but I will make her proud. I shared my dreams with her, and I will achieve them. Hii kitu imeniuma sana,” she said.

Her message suggests a young girl navigating grief, unwanted public scrutiny, and the complicated dynamics of a blended family—while trying to protect both of her fathers from online attacks.
