Size 8 discusses her family’s heritage in witchcraft

Size 8, born Linet Masiro Munyali, has opened up about her family’s spiritual background and the role it played in shaping her life and career.

She first rose to prominence in the late 2000s with secular hits such as Shamba Boy and Moto. In 2013, she made a highly publicised transition to gospel music, releasing Mateke, a move that marked a turning point in both her musical direction and public image.

Family Background and Spiritual Claims

In a widely aired interview, Size 8 revealed that she was born into what she described as a family with a longstanding history of witchcraft. According to her, her great-grandparents practised occult rituals and the tradition was expected to continue through subsequent generations.

She claimed that her decision to become a Christian was met with resistance from some relatives, who allegedly opposed her conversion and discouraged her from preaching. According to her account, she faced warnings and threats after choosing to publicly profess her faith.

Personal Testimony

The singer also shared that her mother once confided in her about considering terminating the pregnancy, a revelation she says became significant in her spiritual journey.

Additionally, she reflected on her early success in secular music, suggesting that her rapid rise in the entertainment industry was, in her current view, connected to spiritual influences tied to her family background.

Size 8 further recounted experiencing recurring nightmares and what she described as “spiritual husbands” during the early stages of her career, attributing these experiences to what she believes were generational spiritual forces.

Ministry and Ordination

Following her conversion, Size 8 became deeply involved in Christian ministry. In 2021, she was ordained as a preacher and has since established a church in Kenya, where she leads worship and ministers to congregants.

Her testimony has sparked extensive discussion across Kenyan media and social platforms, with many focusing on themes of faith, generational history and personal transformation.
