Choice Gatwiri Kinoti, the young woman who recently gained viral notoriety following videos with a Russian streamer, has broken her silence regarding her controversial appearance at Pastor Victor Kanyari\u2019s church. In a candid interview with SPM Buzz<\/i>, Choice revealed that her decision to accept a KSh 30,000 “miracle gift” from the preacher has left her burdened with regret.<\/p>\n
Despite the public optics of a grateful recipient, Choice claims that the transaction was far more complicated behind the scenes, admitting that she wishes she had never stepped onto that altar.<\/p>\n
Choice was quick to dismiss the idea that she was motivated by financial gain. She stated that she had explicitly told Kanyari she was not seeking money, noting that the amount offered was insufficient to change her life or justify the public “sell-out” she now feels she has become.<\/p>\n
\n“I made it clear to Pastor Kanyari, I don\u2019t want money. I did not want to sell out for 30k. Secondly, 30k is not helping me,” she stated, emphasizing that the gift was negligible compared to the reputational cost.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Scriptural Persuasion and Bouncers<\/h2>\n
Choice alleges that her resistance was worn down through a combination of physical presence and spiritual pressure. She claims Kanyari sent three bouncers to fetch her, followed by a sermon specifically designed to target her hesitation.<\/p>\n
According to Choice, the preacher used scripture to frame her refusal as a sign of spiritual pride.<\/p>\n
Kanyari reportedly told her that “no one is an island” and that even the greatest figures in history had to receive help from “men of God.”<\/p>\n
\n“That was the preaching of that day, and that convinced me,” Choice explained. “I asked myself, ‘Wait, am I too proud to accept help?'”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
It is a moment of vulnerability she now views as a mistake, stating flatly:<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI regret. I deeply regret.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The Dilemma of Returning the Cash<\/h2>\n
When asked why she hasn’t simply returned the money to the Salvation Healing Ministries founder, Choice admitted that she was ready to do so as recently as yesterday. However, she was talked out of it by her social circle.<\/p>\n
\n“I wish I returned it yesterday. But when I called my friends they told me niko na ufala<\/i> (I’m being foolish), and that I should just use the money,” she revealed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
A Cautionary Tale of Viral Fame<\/h2>\n
Choice\u2019s experience highlights the complex aftermath for individuals who go viral for the “wrong” reasons. By accepting Kanyari\u2019s help, she inadvertently became part of his ministry\u2019s branding\u2014a move she now feels was a strategic maneuver by the preacher rather than a genuine act of altruism.<\/p>\n
As the debate over Kanyari\u2019s “miracle support” continues, Choice\u2019s testimony serves as a rare look at the perspective of those standing on the receiving end of high-profile, televised “generosity.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
