Kenyan musician Kevin Bahati has confirmed he will hold a face-to-face meeting this Friday with a woman who claims to be his biological mother. The announcement, made via Instagram on Wednesday, February 11, 2026, comes after weeks of viral social media speculation that has left the singer’s family in turmoil.
Key Details of the Controversy
The confusion began when a video surfaced on TikTok featuring a woman—identified in some reports as Judith Makokha—asking for Bahati’s forgiveness. She alleged that she did not abandon him out of malice, but rather out of a desperate lack of means to raise him at the time.
Bahati’s reaction has been a mix of shock and skepticism due to several conflicting factors:
A Settled Past: Bahati has long maintained that his mother passed away over 25 years ago. He stated he personally attended her burial and has visited her grave.
Ethnic Discrepancy: The singer pointed out a logical gap in the woman’s story, noting, “Mahali hii hesabu haiingiani ni yeye ni Mluya, mimi ni Mkamba” (Where the math doesn’t add up is that she is Luhya and I am Kamba).
Frequent Contact: Despite his initial attempt to ignore the claims as a “publicity stunt,” Bahati revealed the woman has been relentlessly messaging his inbox for days.
Impact on the Family
The situation has reportedly taken a toll on the singer’s household. In late 2025, Bahati noted that his children were “confused and unsettled” by the reports, as they grew up knowing their grandmother had passed away decades ago.
”This woman has confused me more. I personally witnessed my mother’s grave… so what should I do?” Bahati shared with his followers.
What’s Next?
Bahati decided to reach out and get her number to hear her side directly, leading to the scheduled meeting on Friday, February 13. While many fans suspect “clout chasing,” others are calling for a DNA test to provide finality to the situation.
If you vibed to M4J back in the day, you probably asked the same question we all did: Na huyu jamaa alienda’ga wapi?
One minute, he’s all over the urban gospel wave – dancing, singing, mentoring half the artists who now dominate the playlists – and, the next – he’s just… vanished.
Well, turns out, Bonfacie King – singer, poet, video director and drone pilot – relocated to the United States.
He’s been down in the trenches, rebuilding identity, healing old beefs and serving God through music.
He speaks to Ghafla about his past, vision and challenges.
What’s the Beef with Bahati?
Kenyans never forget a good story, and the whispers never really died in regard to M4J’s fallout with Bahati – over rights to the ‘Bado Nangoja’ hit.
Bonfacie doesn’t flinch or dodge questions. He says:
“I’m not beefing with Bahati. He’s still my brother. I forgave him long ago.”
Bonfacie has clearly stifled old wounds, considering his fiery diss track ‘Mtoto wa Diana‘ back in 2018.
Today, he speaks with the calmness of someone who has nothing left to prove in the industry.
“Bahati is actually my son in the music scene. I mentored him back when we danced together in Bonebreakers.”
Why Did You Leave Kenya for the US?
Before he left for the US, Bonfacie had already started withdrawing from the Kenyan gospel industry.
Not because he’d lost the passion – but, because the environment had become toxic.
He talks about DJs split into cliques, where your music played only if you aligned with certain camps. If you didn’t, best of luck breaking out.
Then came a wave of gossip that nearly suffocated his career:
“When I opened my business in the CBD, some DJs and promoters decided I shouldn’t be called for shows because I was ‘doing well in town’.”
Imagine being told you’re too stable to deserve bookings.
The behind-the-scenes shenanigans around then-trendy Groove Awards was especially disheartening.
“I’d submit my music year after year. They’d invite me to gala events, camps… but never once nominated me. Maybe bias, maybe hate. Only the artists in their circles got in ….”
Some of the musicians celebrated today are a work of my hands. I thank God for using me to usher them in – even though most have backslided now.”
(He doesn’t mention Bahati – but, hey – that one’s so far off the narrow path it’s no longer news!)

Why Change of Names?
Bonfacie King insists that he didn’t drop the name ‘M4J’. It simply evolved.
“I’m still M4J – which stands for ‘Made for Jesus’. It’ll always be part of me. But Bonfacie King is my face for this new season.”
His sound has expanded, too.
He’s moved from the Swahili-Bongo style of the early 2010s to Afrobeat/Afropop with a global polish.
Most of the album ‘Kingdom Come’ is in English – not for trends, but because that’s how the songs came to him.
“You just write music the way it composes itself.”
He’s versatile, showing tangible promise across the genres.
Kingdom Come: The Album
What’s really striking about the album is its intention. This isn’t “gospel for radio”, per se It’s gospel for the soul – the wounded.
The hits “Hulalala” and “Mirror” speak to people dealing with low self-esteem, rejection or that silent heaviness life sometimes throws at you.
There’s the gospel ballad “Champion” – M4J wrote it especially for children growing up with single parents, or those battling emotional gaps at home.
“I’d want them to know they are champions. Period.”
It’s simple, easy to sing along but very powerful – exactly the kind of message missing in the current gospel landscape.
Is this Your Return to the Gospel Scene?
Kingdom Come is now streaming everywhere including TikTok.
Bonfacie promises that this is only the beginning.
There’s more music, visuals and collaborations lined up.
“I’m not coming back to chase clout. I’m coming back to reconnect with the people who believed in and supported my music, without the sideshows…”
The gospel scene in Kenya has lately lost the oomph – with contemporary artists dropping off the bandwagon to join the secular train – Bonfacie’s re-entry will definitely stir it up.
Sample the song ‘Mirror‘ here – a portal to an inspiring Gospel heaven captured in the ‘Kingdom Come’ album…..
Bahati almost always seems to fail up. Remember that last year he was vying for This government seems hellbent on creating useless posts for either the wives of the two principal leaders (president and his deputy) or for random Kenyan celebrities like Azziad and the former gospel singer not to mention Carol Radull na kadhalika.
The creation of a tourism position for sijui ati Dubai makes no sense. If we say he is meant to promote Kenyans going to Dubai, then the Kenyans that go to the place don’t need him to convince them. And on the flipside, the people in Dubai don’t give a damn about Bahati nor can he convince them to do anything so this post makes no sense.
I want you to recall the fact that this same government was the one that once elected started singing about the cash coffers being empty. They are the same guys who have been telling Kenyans we need to tighten our belts because hakuna pesa.
Now, for some reason, Bahati has become a beneficiary of this nonsense. One has to wonder to what end this has happened. What is the metric with which we are using to measure the success of his appointment?
Or are we meant to just pray and hope this blessing, a byproduct of garbage policies, falls on us? That makes no sense whatsoever. That is essentially the politics of poverty.
Bahati has done nothing wrong. We need to actually appreciate that fact. He is simply a symptom of a broken system. A system that thinks it can bribe influencers and hoodwink Kenyan youth into accepting this flawed system.
Diana Marua has for a long time been the butt of every joke meant to denigrate her husband. Why you ask? Because she was known to be quite the wild card in her youth. She was essentially the IT girl for a gang of celebrities and some powerful men.
As a result, whenever people wanted to take potshots at him, they do so through his wife. And the fact that she is older and more aware of the ways of the world are something that make for low-hanging fruit.

Add to this the fact that he is clearly within his wife, Diana Marua’s, frame then you sort of understand why people are always ribbing them but I am here in her defence for once. No really, when someone does something worth celebrating, we have to truly celebrate it.
And today we are here to discuss the fact that she is a great wife and spouse (same thing right?) to Bahati. We are going to start with the fact that she has put her ego, and her pride to the side and is actually taking care of Bahati’s daughter by Yvette Obura, young Mueni Bahati. That’s right, she has accepted her into her home and she is being raised as one of her own children.
Diana Marua
This is no mean feat and this alone makes her worthy of all the praise we can heap on her aswell as encouragement. Why? Because that means she is doing something that is truly rare. More often than not, step-mothers abuse their husband’s children by other women. This is a very well-documented phenomenon known as the “Cinderella Effect“.
To explain that briefly, it is essentially a theory in evolutionary psychology that captivated the tendency of step-parents to harm children that aren’t biologically their own.
Yvette Obura with daughter, Mueni Bahati
“Powerful evidence in support of the Cinderella effect comes from the finding that when abusive parents have both step and genetic children, they generally spare their genetic children. In such families, stepchildren were exclusively targeted 9 out of 10 times in one study and in 19 of 22 in another. In addition to displaying higher rates of negative behaviors (e.g., abuse) toward stepchildren, stepparents display fewer positive behaviors toward stepchildren than do the genetic parents. For example, on average, stepparents invest less in education, play with stepchildren less, take stepchildren to the doctor less, etc. This discrimination against stepchildren is unusual compared with abuse statistics involving the overall population given “the following additional facts: (1) when child abuse is detected, it is often found that all the children in the home have been victimized; and (2) stepchildren are almost always the eldest children in the home, whereas the general … tendency in families of uniform parentage is for the youngest to be most frequent victims.”
And Diana Marua is not one of those bad eggs. She is actually taking care of her stepdaughter like she is her own child. That takes sacrifice and going above our base humanity.
Perhaps it could be argued that her tribal culture makes it more acceptable for her to do this as the children are her husbands and the man of the home can bring children from previous relationships or from outside their union for her to raise but we live in a time when modern women refuse to sacrifice themselves for anything and are immensely selfish. She is a great example of love.
Bahati’s baby mama, Yvette Obura and wife, Diana Bahati
Diana Marua is sacrificing a bit of her human nature for the sake of ensuring not just her children but all her husband’s get the best possible childcare and she’s willing to personally offer it. That is a great wife!
Bahati was caught in a video hanging out with a group of friends who for some reason decided was smoking weed and the internet has gone crazy trying to get him to castigate his friends or term on them, perhaps even denounce them.
And I’m just sitting here wondering when Kenyans became so self-sanctimonious. Who is it who told Kenyans that bhangi is something that goes against the teachings of God? From my understanding when God created vegetation he looked at his Creations and was pleased by everything is saw.
Mueni Bahati with daddy
So where do Kenyans get off telling Bahati that he needs to turn on his friends? It also bears mentioning that Bahati grew up in one of the most dangerous slums in the country. Mathare slums where most disenfranchised youth often turn to drugs such as marijuana to escape their unpleasant reality.
So unbeknownst to as he might have a friend group that is mingled with individuals who use weed recreationally. That does not mean that they are bad human beings or that they’re leading him astray. If anything it just shows how pompous Kenyans are when it comes to their opinions about the drug which is often misinformed and misguided.
Bahati
I mean, sure it goes against the legal code (or is it called the penal code?) that has outlawed marijuana. However, that is not a code that we as indigenous Africans came up with but is a vestige of colonial penal systems that were heavily biased against Africans and a lot of indigenous African culture and customs.
So if we’re going to engage in a conversation around Bahati and his friends who were spotted smoking marijuana, then we also have to have a holistic conversation about our perception of marijuana and body autonomy. Because the singer himself did nothing wrong and wasn’t even spotted smoking anything he was company seated in a group of friends so why is this being used as a casual to bash his cranium in?
Why is anything and everything used as an excuse by Kenyans to bash our cell who were silently minding their own business? Come on guys, we need to do better, be better. We shouldn’t always be looking for an excuse to bash Bahati. Let the man live! And even if he decides for some reason unbeknownst to us to smoke marijuana that has nothing to do with us he’s a grown man who was made a decision the same way we do not attack other artists to drink.
Diana Marua is husband came into the game at a time when most Kenyan celebrities couldn’t simply rely on their talents to get them ahead of the park but also had to chase notoriety and fame by any means necessary.
Bahati roughed up by goons
Very few of them have ever taught themselves how to do it the right way quite like Bahati who seemed to grasp it almost instinctively. The evidence of this is seen in the fact that he has been able to pivot from his musical career onto a lifestyle influencer path.
An argument could be made that he learnt how to do so from his wife but I would argue that while she did help him hone his skills it is something that he already knew to do.
As a result, everything he does to generate excitement when he’s about to drop a project orphan does precisely that without detracting from his talents. The same cannot be said for many Kenyan celebrities such as Eric Omondi or Arrow Bwoy and Nadia Mukami. Hell, not even willy Paul knows how to do it seamlessly.
takes a hiatus from making music the entertainment scene suffers from a dearth of excitement. He even proved how adept he is at clout chasing, when he decided to file for political office. And though he lost, he had a very strong showing proving he understands not just how to generate hype around his music but how to do so in the political arena as well.
But you’re taking a hiatus from making music as he focused on his political ambitions for about a year and sadly he was unsuccessful in vying for the Mathare parliamentary seat.
As can be expected, he was devastated however he has since picked himself back up and has made a return to doing what we love seeing him do: Making music.
Bahati’s bitter political career
He seems to either have captured a muse or ignited his creativity because his latest songs have been bangers. Diana Marua’s husband released song after song with each going on to be hits.
It could be argued that he single-handedly proper Kenya’s fledgling R&B scene. And some of his collaborations have been wild! Never in a million years did we think we’d see him collaborate with other Luo Benga singer. The song “My Abebo” which features Prince Indah has not only managed to gain critical acclaim but is a clear fan favourite as a garnered 750,000 views in less than a week.
Not only has he been releasing new music but his clout-chasing and publicity stunts I simply entertaining. In Bahati we have an artist who understands not only does he need to court attention at any cost but he needs to do so in an intelligent way, one that is congruent with his brand.
And after I hear that was a mixed bag in terms of entertainment content, we are glad Bahati has focused back onto what gave him his platform. So whether or not he truly does have a song with Nicki Minaj and another with Justin Bieber, those assertions alone have made us excited for his new music in 2023!

Diana Marua and her husband Bahati should be the first couple off your lips when you talk about happy young couples and that is a debate I am more than willing to sink my teeth into.
Their philosophy is one that most have failed to emulate and by that I am referring to the fact that the couple has adopted an “us against them” mentality. They are genuinely happy with each other and no, I am not saying this because of all the lovey-dovey captions she posts or because of all the publicity stunts she and her husband keep getting upto.
Celebrity “power” couple Diana Marua and Bahati
Diana Marua and Bahati seem to be cognizant of the fact that they are a couple, a business if you will that has to find a way to survive through Kenya’s 3rd world economy and the best way for them to do so is to frame their days as them (as a team) fighting poverty, haters and whatever else makes that laundry list.
And whether or not you agree with her rather littered past is irrelevant. They have made it very clear that they are all about their children and building their businesses together. And yes, their brand is that business and it is a rather lucrative one.
Diana Marua and Bahati
There is a lot to learn from the singer and his wife. There is a lot to learn even from how supportive she is of her husband up to and including accepting his daughter by another woman and at least attempting to co-parent that child with his baby mama.
Terence Creative was more than happy to let us know that he knew all along when his wife was grinding on Bahati’s groin. And if that sounds like a strange way to start an article then it should also seem like a strange thing for a husband to say with regards to his wife.
“Bahati anachemsha maji lakini mimi ndio ninaoga”.
Terence Creative and wife Milly Chebby
And no, I’m not joking, he literally said that and he meant it given his energy. Perhaps he said so because he’s a comedian but that is the sort of joke only failed men (males who’ve failed at being men) can relate to and get some chuckles in. You know, cuckolds.
Back to Terence Creative, the man thought it was funny to be around while his wife was grinding on Bahati because he probably thinks he has to atone for cheating on her with Anita Soina. Oh, you think we forgot about that?
Popular comedian, Terence Creative aka Kamami
The reason he probably has to say he is okay with his wife making a mockery of him is that he thinks he has to allow her to balance out his marital account. The thinking of a simp: because I failed in honouring my promise to you, feel free to pay me in kind.
And this reminds me of the rumour that he was being battered by his wife. Remember that story Ghafla broke exclusively?
For you to understand what a cuckold is, allow me to quote my good friend Google:
cuckold
/ˈkʌk(ə)ld/
noun
DATED
a man whose wife is sexually unfaithful, often regarded as an object of derision.
“jokes in literature about elderly cuckolds and misers are rife”
verb
(of a man) make (another man) a cuckold by having a sexual relationship with his wife.
“in the novel Humberto cuckolds his employer”
I can already hear you make the justification that Milly Chebby was just grinding on Bahati’s crotch, it is a stretch to equate this to seggs but on that one, I will direct you to your father to go and debate with. And Terence Creative is a schmuck who is 3 degrees separate from cuckoldry.
Repeat after me, monogamy is about sexual exclusivity. That means a married woman should not be posting thirst traps. It means she shouldn’t get flirty or touchy-feely with her friends. Hell, she shouldn’t even have male friends. Milly Chebby knows she has something over on Terence which is why he is being creative with the excuses he’s making for her disrespectful behaviour.
Notice we didn’t see Terence Creative grinding on Diana Marua… Why do you think that is?
Bahati vied for the Mathare parliamentary seat and lost. His was a campaign period fraught with betrayal and intrigue and though he braved the battle, Kenyans have made him their whipping boy with their incessant mocking.
And we have all noticed that this took quite a toll on the young man. he clearly had his heart set out for the position and he believed he would win it easy… I don’t know why, perhaps it was delusional confidence.
Bahati roughed up by goons
But Bahati as we all know, lost. And he has taken it hard. It didn’t help that it exposed haters in hidden corners. While we here at Ghafla were busy praising him for having the guts to take this step, most of his own peers and fans were busy laughing at him.
And since then, he has been seen out in public only a handful of times. He was seen at a family function as they celebrated a family affair with is wife -Diana Marua- and kids. But we have also seen him delete his content on social media.
We can only wonder about the toll that this failure took on him. He was also met by the stark reality of just how crazy politics is as he was first denied a certificate that would allow him to vie and then the members of his own coalition came out to attack and mock him.
And this is why we need to hope that he has gone to seek counselling because he is clearly showing signs of struggling with depression. And while it is great for him to inundate himself with people who love him, Bahati needs professional help.
That is what will help him lift himself above the funk and then focus on the future. A mental issue like depression is something that could also affect his family because he will not only not be present but he might even take a much darker path.
Willy Paul is lucky to have survived the rape allegation that Diana Marua levelled against him and he knows it. There are a lot of ways to implode your career but by far, a sexual assault allegation is the most nuclear. And Bahati stood by and allowed that entire scam to unfold and play out for the sake of clout.
I get it, Bahati and Willy Paul are only really friends when the cameras are present and for as long as they are present. They both hailed from Mathare and both got their start from their mentor, J Blessing. Bother were gospel artists. So you’d be forgiven for thinking they should be the closest of friends.
Willy Paul
Perhaps it is the nature of the circumstances they grew up in but they started a rather fierce competition. And since they first blew up, they have fought like cats and dogs sewn up into a gunny bag (gunia). And any act that can give Bahati an edge over Willy Paul, he’ll do it, no questions asked and vice versa.
That however cooled off once Willy Paul gave up being a gospel artists there was no real fight over the audience. That didn’t stop them from trading jabs once in a while but by and large, everything calmed down. Or so we thought.
One day, out of the blue, Bahati’s wife, Diana Marua came out and accused Willy Pozze of raping her. That was something no one had expected and though we were all blindsided, no one was as caught off-guard as Bwana Mkunaji.
He has been the subject of other accusations that have never gone anywhere but in this instance, the allegations made no sense. It sounded a lot like an artist who met a fan and decided he wanted to sleep with the fan (Willy Paul has very little d-control) and after the fact that she was now married to his rival, she resented his treatment of her like a jump-off.
Diana Marua and Pozee
And the worst part of all this is the fact that there were witnesses one of whom came out to corroborate Pozze’s account of things. And she was none other than Niccah the Queen who was his neighbour at the time. According to her, Diana Marua was happy to be at Willy Paul’s side and even after they went off to do their thing, she was still eager like a beaver to hang out around him. She even said she’d invite some witnesses to back up her take on things.
This sounded more and more like the case of regret getting weaponised. And Bahati watched it all silently. He could have stepped in to either get to the bottom of things and take his wife to report her claims to the police but instead he remained silent, doubtlessly enjoying this new torment his wife had unleashed on his frienemy.
And life simply moved on. A false allegation that could have been career-ending was allowed to go unpunished. And as I sit down reflecting on just how messed up Diana Marua has to have been to be making up such serious allegations, I realised that though Willy Paul gets a lot of flack for being arrogant, he didn’t deserve to have his career crippled by such a crazy allegation.
Diana Marua and Bahati are genuinely happy with each other and no, I am not saying this because of all the lovey-dovey captions she posts or because of all the publicity stunts she and her husband keep getting upto.
It is easy to tell she is content because she is now sharing all the dark, leary details of her past and the nonsense she got up to. You see, Diana Marua had a storied past before she got involved with Bahati. She has been linked to advertising executives, footballers and other celebrities including radio personalities.
Diana Marua enjoying her new car
One would assume that with such a record of past dalliances, she would be willingly open about her history. She has in the recent past been open about having sponsors and being a veritable socialite in the understanding Kenyans have of that term. She was a heaux in her younger days -which is saying much given she is older than Bahati.
When she met her current husband, he pursued the relationship with her in spite of everything his peers, his friends and foes within the contemporary gospel fraternity had to say. He chose to ignore all the naysayers. As far as Diana Marua is concerned though, she is with the man who is her best current option so her hypergamy is sated.
Nahati and his wife Diana Marua all loved up
And she is feeling not just content but secure in her knowledge that Bahati is not going to up and change things. She knows she has him and he too is content. So she can open up and lay bare the sins of her past.
This is the strongest statement of just how happy and content she is being by Bahati’s side. She is able to discuss her past indiscretions and all the sordid details because she knows her husband doesn’t worry about her returning to her old ways. She trusts him that much.
Celebrity power couple Diana Marua and Bahati
You have to ask yourself whether your spouse has this level of trust in you and your union. Afterall, unless she was a virgin when you met, you cannot speak for her past with any measure of certainty. And as you ponder this thought that Diana Marua has occasioned about your partner, you have to answer that little nagging voice that asks whether or not you really want to know all of your partner’s past indiscretions.
Are you ready to be in a position, like Bahati where you get to know everything about how your wife would become vicious when she was around other men, some of whom you know and other whom you are definitely sure are better men than you? Diana Marua trust that her gospel star is willing to know. Why? Well, again, because she’s content in her marriage.

Kenyans are busy mocking Bahati for his failure to clinch the Mathare Member of Parliament seat but I am one of the few who think we need to celebrate his courage.
You see, the cry-baby crooner had a dream and boy was it a bold dream. He wanted to become an MP so he could improve the lives of the constituents of the area he grew up in.
Bahati’s bitter political career
So he decided to put his money where his mouth is and Bahati put his name on the ballot as a contestant for the seat. That is a huge feat. he was fighting against established politicians and even the powers that be within his own party of choice did not want him on the ticket.
Still, he soldiered on. Even as Kenyans mocked him for the dogged pursuit of his goal, he kept at it with no fear and no shame. He was insulted and even his woman became the target of ridicule and derision.
Even though we watched him get bullied, we remained silent and refused to condemn his bullies because we are myopic people. We are a small-minded people. We still have not realised that his actions demystified politics and he could very well have opened the door for Kenyan politics to become even more inclusive. Bahati is a no-name, no experience political aspirant spurred on by nothing more than great intentions.
He has essentially blown the door wide open for young Kenyans who have a dream of making their people’s lives better through providing development and policies that encourage it.
Instead, Kenyans have left him high and dry. I mean, I can understand that his constant crying is off-putting but the key here is to think about the greater good. And that would have been to call out his bullies.
Bahati has shown a young man sitting somewhere in Nairobi that it is possible to pursue political power. he has shown a young lady still in university that she can vie for a parliamentary seat and it’s possible for her to be a threat and even win.
All they need is the courage to do what Bahati has shown them is possible.
All your favourite celebrities are talking about undergoing vasectomies. Well, that is a bit of a stretch but you know what I mean. Your favourite celebrities have either outright claimed they are about to secure a vasectomy or their wives have suggested vasectomies for them.
These characters include Bien and Bahati but even more are stoking the fanfare flames around this rather interesting method of family planning. Why is that? I have never been one to chalk things up to coincidences simply so let’s take a step back and try to see the bigger picture.
When we take a look at what is happening on the international stage, we know that Roe vs Wade was repelled. For those of you who do not know what that is, it is essentially the law that allowed abortions in America.
As a result, your favourite feminists are up in arms acting like that affects us. At the end of the day, abortions aren’t legal in Kenya but that doesn’t us from procuring them. But feminists have never been the type to let simple logic come in the way of an opportunity to virtue signal so male feminists have started declaring they will undergo vasectomies inorder to “protect their wives”.
On the other hand, we have women who know they domineer over their husbands. These women also know that they no longer want their husband’s seed. So what do they do? They subtly suggest a vasectomy as a family planning compromise. And their husbands are either too dense to pick up on the subtle manipulation or are so henpecked, that they don’t know the difference.
And so the idea is implanted into these men’s minds. But for some reason unbeknownst to them, it doesn’t sit easy. Their lizard brains are rejecting the idea of getting their nads snipped. But they need to prove to everyone they are virtuous so what do they do? They do what Bien did, they come out to tell the world and their adoring fans that they are getting vasectomies and they phrase it in such a way it seems noble. After all, misery loves company.
DJ Moz and Dj soxxy
Think about it, when Bien tells us what he and his wife have decided to do to his gonads, a medical procedure that should, by all means, be private, he is proselytizing so he can convince you he is a virtuous husband and that you too should browbeat your man into accepting this nonsense.
However, the truth is, a woman who is truly in love with her man, a woman who truly respects her man would never suggest to him that he essentially castrate himself. Ultimately, we evolved to view a man’s nads as a measure of his masculinity and with good reason.
While a vasectomy could potentially mess about with that apparatus as they have been shown to elevate men’s longterm risk of prostate cancer.
“Our results indirectly support the hypothesis that there is an elevated risk of prostate cancer among men who underwent vasectomy 20 or more years previously.”
Or how about this finding from another study:
“…men who had undergone vasectomy less than 20 years earlier not only had a higher dihydrotestosterone level than age-matched controls (1.46 vs. 1.22 nmol/l; p 0.01) but had a lower testosterone/dihydrotestosterone ratio.”
So why would a woman willingly attempt to put a man she respects through this risk? That is a woman who doesn’t respect her man as I had earlier asserted. And we can look at a pattern beginning to form right before our eyes; an open marriage (if the partner’s celebrity crush happens to be in town), falling into your wife’s frame and finally a vasectomy. But perhaps we aren’t ready yet to drink that cup of coffee.
Diana Marua is the reason no one takes Bahati seriously as a politician which is a horrible fact for his political ambitions but the fact was made abundantly clear when Edwin Sifuna said he would be apologizing to her and not him.
The reason his disrespect was that brazen is he, like the rest of us, understands that the power dynamic is clearly in her hands and she does indeed call the shots. While this is a great thing for feminists and their female empowerment schpill, it is absolutely terrible for him as a man or even as an aspiring leader.
But thing is, Bahati is not a leader because we can tell he doesn’t lead his own marriage. He is a tamer, more localized version of Will Smith and no amount of chest-thumping and Twitter insults will change this fact. And the fact that he hasn’t realised his wife’s penchant for publicising their marriage is the biggest reason for this perception is telling.
Diana Marua is sadly, always taking us through the dynamics of their marriage and whenever she does so, we do not get to see just how strong her husband is as a man. If anything, the opposite is true. She recently spoke about the earlier years of their marriage (the first two years) and what she described as an indecisive manlet. He didn’t know whether to stay or to leave her. Why? Were there legit reasons for him to leave? If that’s the case then why didn’t he? Because he is scared of public sentiment?
Gospel artiste, Kevin Bahati
Or how about the fact Bahati is always wearing her clothes. What is that crossdressing supposed to prove? That he is more comfortable in his wife’s panties and dresses than he is wearing the pants in his house? No wonder whenever she praises him it feels like a disingenuine attempt at propping up his masculinity.
And now we can come back to his political ambitions. The fact that there was a muted uproar about the travesty he was subjected to says a lot about his support base. The fact that he decided to cry on camera and frame himself as the victim was also very telling. And off0putting. Bahati is not ready to become a national leader. He is weak and not very good at being a man.
And a great solution for him would be for him to actually look for masculine mentors who can teach him how to get better at being a man. And it should go without saying that while we all deal with emotions, there is a masculine way to actually deal with emotions and it does not involve him calling a press-conference to start crying and bitching. They also need a PR team around them charged with making him look like less of a weak pansy and more like a man in the making.
Or perhaps he is praying for a political appointment should Azimio La Umoja win? Maybe that’s what he’s playing at but this is not the way to go about it. Because we have seen these games get played out on the political arena with the likes of MC Jesse who responded to UDA giving away his UDA ticket in a very commendable and brave way.
Whatever Diana Marua and Bahati decide to do, they cannot allow her to continue to set the narrative of their love story. She is framing this man as a weak, ineffectual simp who needs constant propping because he is a bumbling uh… Yeah, I think you get the point I’m trying to make.
Bahati was supposed to vie for the Mathare parliamentary seat on a Jubilee/ Azimio la Umoja ticket. The ticket was revoked early on but after he successfully lobbied, it was returned to him only for it to be revoked again recently and he is angry at not just the party but also at Edwin Sfuna for some utterances he made. I am reiterating what transpired for you to stay in the know and for me to meet the word count.
That said and done, he has already sunk a lot of money into trying to win the seat and was already campaigning only for this curve ball to be thrown his way and now he is out of the race again. What is he to do and what lies ahead for him?
Well, right from the onset, Bahati is ahead of the pack. he needs o stay political and virtue signalling every possible virtue he can mount atop his shoulders. What do I mean by this? Well, he needs to stick to what he has already been doing which has been working for him.
At the end of the day, he is 28 years old. By the next election cycle, he will be 33 years old. In other words, he will still be a young man and he will still be able to stimulate the youth vote and if he does his bit right, he will have enough support and clout to go the independent route.
I mean, sure, Bahati could very well decide to support the party opposing his party of choice but he will simply look butthurt. No one would take him seriously if h were to decamp to UDa and at the end of the day, while he might get a bureaucratic posting, it would only be for as long as the government that appoints him lasts.
On the other hand, he could possibly stay out in the rain with the rest of us and become the voice of dissension. he could begin to champion the average mwananchi’s grievances and from there, he can package himself as a man who has grown into his position. From there, the sky’s the limit.
The question that remains unanswered is whether or not he will choose to play the long con or he will chase after instant gratification and even then, I do not think we can blame him because he has been using his personal finances thus far to finance his campaigns which means he has a huge hole in his pocket. ut ultimately, when faced with this crossroad, only Bahati can make the decision.
At this point, he can reconstruct the image people have in their heads of him. Right now when you think of Bahati what you think of is a man who wears dresses and cries a lot You think of a cuckold man-child whose wife has to carry his entire household. Sounds rough but for the moment that is what people think of him. He needs to rebuild from the ground up!
Bahati did not pay any men mind when he announced that he was going to make his “prayer partner” his wife. The lady in question was Diana Marua and when word of the fact was announced, I recall listening in as I headed out to high school and everyone was laughing about it.
I have to admit that I had no idea who Diana Marua was but we all knew who Bahati was and I was listening in on a show that used to air on Kiss100 every Friday morning. And now that I have found out even more about who Diana Marua used to be, I am inclined to actually agree with a lot of the people who have raised their doubts.

I say this because as my mentor (one of the guys who was on the Kiss show I mentioned) says, a man should be as concerned about his woman’s past as she is about his future. Bahati should have been warned or informed that given who his wife used to be, he will never truly be ever to hold his head high in a circle of men because she would always be the Achilles heel that they would attack.
Think about it, he married a woman who had a storied history of past lovers and this is always going to be something a man cares about. To make matters worse, his sworn frienemy came out to claim that he too was a name on the list of Diana Marua’s past lovers. And you wonder why he has been silent over the entire issue?! What is Mtoto wa Diana to do? And Willy Paul is such an asshat that he came out to chide him over having slept with her before she was with him… That is a low blow.
Diana Marua
And what option did Diana Marua have other than to allege assault? I mean, it is a dastardly evil to pull on a man but I get it. It is a despicable thing to do to anyone but I can understand that she had no alternative in her brain because she knew how Bahati feels about his “brother” and she knows this might actually be the point at which her marriage is shaken to its core. Thing is, Nicah the Queen came out to offer an alternative account of how things played out. According to her, when she saw Diana Marua with Willy Paul, she was happy to be in his presence and was dancing and bouncing along to his music.
Bahati is in a tight fix -between a rock and a hard place because as a man, his instincts to defend his wife have doubtless kicked in but he has also come to the realization that she is always going to put him in this same situation. Yup, his wife will always leave him with egg on his face and looking to knock a few teeth loose simply because she allowed certain men between her thighs nd some of these men are precisely who her husband has told her he finds distasteful.
But he made a choice. He chose to settle down with this woman and as a result, Bahati will forevermore be in this position especially given the fact that she is the mother of two of his children. Damn! You had doubtless not factored that in. He is literally tied to Diana Marua for the rest of his life (assuming he doesn’t outlive their children). But this is where he should show the world just exactly how ignorant he is. He needs to actually ignore all the whispers because the happiness of his home is at stake.

Chimano released Friday Feeling and Diana B has released 2 songs, Hatutaachana and One Day and I want to compare her first song to Chimano’s release… I know what you’re thinking, that this is very unfair and I agree but she has been saying that her song is the epitome of Kenyan entertainment… Sigh.
So Chimano released a true work of art, his song, Friday Feeling broke away from the stereotypical expected Kenyan and East African sound in a fantastic way and had a daring video to go along with it that celebrates (as many say) Chimano’s orientation.
Diana Marua
On the other hand, bro, no kidding, Diana B’s song has been described as trash by the likes of DNA and others who are doubtless reacting to the fact that she raps like she is part of Ogopa DJ’s first roster of stars back in 2000. She literally made a song that sounded dated without it being ironic nor an ode to an old sound.
That is the first way in which Chimano’s song comes off as superior. It is done to an old school electro-disco sounding instrumental and the music video pays homage to the fact. Remember when Dave Chapelle said he missed the old school gays? The tough gays? This is a throwback to that era.
Whereas Diana B’s song is just underwhelming. I am saddened that YouTube has removed the dislike counter because I suspect that most of its listeners on the platform simply ratioed it to oblivion. Why do I say so? Because the likes and views do not add up to paint a favourable reception of the song.
Add to this the lyrics… Man, oh man, Diana B’s song is like a nursery rhyme. A great reminder that we do not need rap music to simply rhyme like it was written by Dr Seuss. There is nothing artistic nor poetic about rhyming hatuachani with chini. I mean, she literally proves to everyone that rap music is about more than just talking on an instrumental. You need flow and charisma. Hell, even cadence is needed.
I must admit that this is a rather unfair comparison between a seasoned artist and a lady married to a musician who put out a lazy musical offering but I am justified to make the comparison because she is declaring her song as the best thing in the 254 since Esir blessed a mic. I guess she is living proof that talent is not an STI nor does it come from being in the studio as her husband “cooks up a hit song”.
Another hint from Chimano
My verdict? I am not going to be as bold as to call Diana B’s song trash but I would advise her to try working with two producers rather than one. They will then be able to craft a song for her that actually sounds pleasing rather than it being a gimmick.

Diana Marua and Bahati have put all their haters to shame. We all thought their marriage was a sham. Come on, don’t start trying to distance yourself from that group. We all did but with good reason.
You see, Bahati is a young man who has his urges and the fact that he is a star (at the time he was a gospel star) meant there were more than enough women throwing themselves at him.
Add to this the fact that Diana Marua is 10 years his senior (don’t quote me on that, I am just chatting mad) and you start to understand why this would be an issue. How would she compete with all the young and fresh babes sending themselves his way?
But you know what? They have found a way to make themselves the model couple. Who would have thunk it? No really, who would have seen this being the vibes? Absolutely no one, that’s who.
And yet here we are, talking about their marriage being an example for young couples. I mean, who would have thought even I would have been one of the people cheering the legacy of their marriage.
Indeed, Bahati and Diana Marua have shown us that love is a beautiful thing because of how happy and stable their relationships appears to be. But maybe therein lies the devil in the details: all we are seeing is an appearance.

Maybe vitu kwa ground ni tofauti because we all know people especially celebs only share the highlights of their lives on social media. But until we have evidence to the contrary, I will defer to what we have heard directly from the horse’s mouth.
So maybe the secret is in dating and marrying a reformed party girl. Perhaps the secret is in marrying a young man who has used the Bible and gospel to build his empire all the while living in enough fornication to produce a child out of wedlock.
Video of Bahati vigorously twerking on Diana Marua sparks controversy
But what do I know? I for one celebrate the 6 years the couple has been together. That is truly a milestone for young celebrity marriages.

Kenyans are busy mocking Bahati for imitating and actually outright cloning himself after Diamond Platnumz and Noti Flow is the most brazen celebrity to do so yet it is perfectly normal when you look at things from a neutral perspective.
But a lot of us have infused our emotions and distaste at the now-defunct EMB Records owner and CEO which is why we are quick to disagree with everything he does even when it makes sense and is pretty smart of him to do.
Take his clear pandering and imitation of Diamond Platnumz. It makes sense because Mondi is the biggest star in East and Central Africa. he has grown from strength-to-strength, having started out as a talentless hack from the slums of Tandale.
And when he begun his career, he was singing on rubbish heaps and dancing in sewage but he managed to elevate himself and transform himself into the premier performer and crooner from our region -so why wouldn’t Bahati want to copy his playbook?
Even when it comes to fashion, Diamond Platnumz is the type of man who experiments with all types of fashion including high fashion. And though there are times when he doesn’t really pull off the look, he is very fashion-forward and willing to experiment.
Bahati loses nothing from also trying to ape his fashion. He can find things that work for him and actually perhaps incorporate his own style at his level into what he has aped from Platnumz, owning the look and coming up with something unique.
You see, you don’t always get to meet your mentors in the new social media world. Sometimes, you identify an industry leader or industry shaper and you learn from their successes and that is what Bahati seems to be trying to do.
And who knows, Mtoto was Diana might just get to grab Mondi’s attention. perhaps this is how he will earn an audience with the man or even get signed to his WCB Records label and that would be when most of his haters would see Bahati’s vision and praise him for sticking to his strategy.
DK Kwenye Beat is a new man. He is in a new improved body after shedding a lot of his bulk from being morbidly obese to becoming slightly overweight and we hope he keeps at transforming himself until he gets the best physical version of himself.
And I think the fact that he has seen what his discipline has done for him in terms of his own body has given him some newfound confidence and aggression. He heard Bahati’s new diss track and decided to return fire.
Dk Kwenye Beat With His Child-IG
Some exposition… Bahati released a song in which he has dissed a lot of Kenyan celebrities and entertainers. The disses were sent out to Khaligraph Jones, Ringtone and Sauti Sol and Octopizzo. And while none has responded, DK has.
And in his response, he has called out Bahati for all the things his haters have been saying all along but that is not what is really cool, it is the fact that he is clearly departing from his gospel roots and actually went for the jugular.
The track features DK Kwenye Beat dressed as a man of the cloth at a funeral -Bahati’s and it is a really cool visual for the video. Then when it starts, he first revisits the disses Bahati sent out to all his former gospel artist peers and then he went in!
The song itself is short, more like a freestyle but it really delves into taking shots right away with him mocking him for being Mtoto was diana and the fact that these days his songs lack substance and depth.
he goes on to mock Bahati’s voice but one of the most interesting things is the fact that it was Bahati who posted the song on his YouTube account. So this is either a big boss move or I am right that Bahati is choreographing for us this beef.
It would be nice however, for someone to actually through their own song into the fray, someone who is not part of Bahati’s hype train like I suspect DK Kwenye Beat is. That said, it is fantastic that DK has shown us his versatility.
Bahati has gone from breing a gospel artist to being a borderline secular artist to making songs with gengetone artists and now he has released a disstrack. If this isn’t a full evolution, then I don’t know what is.
Thing is however, that while for a lot of people this might be an off-putting development for a lot of his fans, I like what we are seeing because this shows just how versatile he actually is.
Also, Bahati has gotten to a point where he realizes that he cannot keep crying and being called “Mtoto was Diana” and he needs to earn his peers’respect so he has unleashed an interesting series of missives aimed at Kenyan celebs.
While it is no How to Rob by 50 Cent, it is still a decent attempt to let his fandom and music lovers in general know that he is versatile. Now here is where we look at the cons of everything related to this disstrack:
Bahati is not going to get a response from any of the artists mentioned because I will bet the entire house that he called them all and gave each one a heads-up as to what he planned to do. So this is not really about talking shots at anyone but a publicity stunt.
The “beef” is dead in the water where it never left like so many brave soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normandy. Why would Khaligraph Jones respond o these few jabs? Interesting they may but he was probably texted by Bahati about what he was going to do.
And while I enjoyed hearing Bahati rap in this new song, I couldn’t help but go back to the places where my memories have stored images of him doing some clown bullshit like jumping on the president’s chair or crying about his wife.
Diana Marua and Bahati are an odd couple if you’re anything north of 30 years old. You see, they are a couple who do not seem to follow rules of convention yet unlike most of their peers, they are one young celebrity couple that has not been the subject of serious breakup rumours.
Don’t get me wrong, I know they have been the subject pf beakup rumours but all those rumours were the work of their marketing machine that does such bullshit publicity stunts. But when you think of serious scandals that often spell the doom of their peers’relationships, you cannot name a single one that touched on them.
Who would have thought Bahati and Diana Marua would have lasted longer than Uhuru Kenyatta’s popularity?
I am of the opinion that Bahati and Diana Marua will actually last in their marriage for a very long time because in all honesty, they seem to understand that their marriage is bigger than them as individuals and they are aware that they are in it to win it because just like Hov and Beyonce they are bigger as an item than as individuals.
The very first time I hear on radio that they were “prayer partners”, I laughed my A off. I was listening to all that as I rode listening to a show I used to really enjoy that one of my mentors was a part of on that featured Adelle and Shaffie Weru back before she led a crusade to get him fired from his job. Simple times.
This goofball might actually have what it takes to make his marriage last
And what was odd to me wasn’t just the fact that Bahati had chosen to settle down with a lady who is nearly ten years older than him but that he had chosen a lady who had a certain unsavoury reputation in entertainment circles and that Diana Marua was choosing a guy who didn’t seem to have discovered himself.
Simply put, he was trading his ascendancy years for a partner was was used goods. But they surprised me and everyone else because they have managed to grow from strength to strength and they seem genuinely happy together.
Diana Marua and Bahati on one of their sponsored holidays together
That is because both of them have a united vision of what they want their future to hold for not just them as a celebrity couple but for their children too. You see, they want to maintain and build their celebrity status and the best way for them to do so is as a couple. One isn’t pushing the other, they are united in chasing higher and higher heights of celebrity status.
Besides that, Bahati has found something I do not think even he realized he was looking for all his life: family. And Diana Marua too has found something I do not think she realizes she was craving: respectability.
One grew up an orphan (the former). While the other was the jump of very many powerful men and a few of their hangers on at 1824 from what I heard and from her confessions too. Not to mention that a certain Kenyan footballer who used to ply his trade over at Tottenham used to fly her out there to chill with him.
Whatever the future holds, I am now a converted believer that perhaps the fates should see fit to keep these two together. If only to serve as something young people like me can look up to as an example of a functional relationship.
John Pombe Magufuli is no more. God bless the dead. The late Tanzanian president passed on after a long battle with a cardiac issue and a lot of Tanzanian artists and indeed, even Kenyan artists are mourning the passing of the leader.
What is interesting is that Kenyans seem to have formed opinions and biases about the man and are divided into either the camp that likes him or that looking to vilify him in death. But there is something even more peculiar -artists are making songs about him.
Magufuli with Harmonize at a past state event
Actually, with all the mourning that artists, both Tanzanian and Kenyan are doing, you would be forgiven for thinking they had a close personal relationship. And I not only doubt that this is the case but I see alot of what they are currently engaged in as one extended publicity stunt.
That is why we are seeing harmonize crying like a big man-baby mourning for the late leader as though they were bosom buddies. Then there are the artists who have put out songs about his passing and peculiarly, this cabal includes Kenya’s Bahati.
Magufuli with Diamond at a past state event
Now, you have to really stretch the imagination to believe that Bahati, an artist who has never mentioned Magufuli till now, is busy mourning about him and saying he was his role model. This is clearly just a money grab.
I get it, you need to make money however you can during these tough times in Kenya but come on, allow the man who was a father, a brother and friend to some to be mourned intimately by his people and then after afew, perhaps then it would be appropriate to engage in your cash grab.
And as for Harmonize crying and bawling his eyes out, there is sy=uch a thing as coming off as disingenuous. And you do not want to do that. In the very least, you have done the absolute most. Because grief is very private. It doesn’t announce itself seeking validation. If indeed you were as close to him as you would have us believe, go and comfort and condole the family of the late Magufuli.
Diana Marua and Bahati have opened up to their fans to reveal that the lady of their kingdom thinks they should have another baby and it actually makes alot of sense if you know a thing about biology. You see, her biological clock is letting her know that she is nearly running out of time.
While bahati has been running around trading jabs with Willy Paul (which I must admit were rather hilarious), his wife, Diana Marua is more focused on not missing the window of opportunity to expand their family.

You see, from time immemorial, men have evolved to value youth and fertility in women. This however, isn’t a fact that modern women and especially feminists like admitting. It comes into stark focus for this particular couple because Diana Marua is not only significantly older than her bae but she is also on the wrong side of thirty.
As a result, she is actually doing the right thing in dealing with the possibility for a geriatric pregnancy and insisting that Bahati stick a bun in her oven sooner rather than later. And she should not be shamed for being pragmatic.
Diana Marua wants Bahati to put a baby in her
Diana Marua is aware that the older she gets, the harder her chances of successfully conceiving a child. Add to this the fact that hers would be a complicated pregnancy with the possibility of it not being carried to terma dn you have to appreciate -nay- applaude her sense of urgency.
What is a geriatric pregnancy? Well, by definition, a geriatric pregnancy is what Diana Marua would have to risk if she got pregnant later in her thirties and is a pregnancy that occurs when a person is 35 years or older is also known as an advanced maternal age pregnancy.
Baby number 3? Diana Marua’s dark moment as she experiences pregnancy scare in the past
And don’t get it twisted, modern medicine has made enough advances to be able to help pull through this miracle but it is still risky. The baby could end up with low birth weight, down syndrome, autism, there are higher risks of miscarriages, increased risk of preeclampsia, increased risks of complicated child birth and more often than not you will have to undergo a caesarean section.
But depending on how you look at things, the silver lining in all this is the fact that older mothers are more likely to have multiple babies -twins, triplets, you get the point.
So bahati, what will it be? Wil you give in and give your wife the baby she is clearly craving or will you wait till later and riskj missing the boat entirely?
Ringtone has set his targets on Bahati once again and this time he is claiming that Mtoto wa Diana Marua could be in the closet with all his new social media posts about Willy Paul being his woman.
Ringtone is back on his bullshit and he is not taking prisoners. He recently took to his social media account to call out Bahati who had posted a photoshopped picture that had Willy Paul’s head on a woman’s body.
MONEY HAS BEEN POURED TO PROMOTION GAYS ????♂️????♂️????♂️????♂️BAHATI AND WILLYPAUL WHO WHITHIN YOU IS THE HUSBAND AND WHO IS THE WIFE????? SO KUMBE ALL ALONG YOUR BEEF WAS BOYFRIEND GIRLFRIEND LOVE HATE. WE DONT TOROLATE SUCH GAY BEHAVIOR IN GOSPEL THANKS FOR LEFTING ALREADY ????????????????????????
And it has to make you wonder what happened to the gospel fraternity. What happened to them putting out music glorifying God instead of attacking each other? On the one hand, we have Ringtone attacking fellow gospel artists and on the other we have Bahati toying with the idea of fully embracing secular women.
And what that has resulted in is a dearth of content from those very quarters. And this is a stark contrast from a few years back when gospel music ran the entertainment scene. Infact, when Bahati first came onto the scene, the secular scene was dead.
It’s interesting that bahati enjoys wearing dresses and makeup
Gone are the days when every new artist had to be a gospel artist if they wanted to make it. Now, they need stunts because even the fans aren’t interested in urban contemporary gospel music. Or perhaps they are simply reacting to the lack of content.
Gospel worked alot better when artists weren’t chasing after stunts. It worked alot better when artists sort to collaborate. Back then, the message in the music was paramount and it was always about God above all else.
But as secular music began to rise in popularity, gospel artists refused to stay in their own lanes and keep making great gospel music. Instead, they began focusing and obsessing on what socialites and secular artists were doing. They kept going towards what the weren’t meant to -worldly pleasures. And Bahati and Ringtone only exemplify this fact.
Diana Marua has made a habit of constantly dragging up her exes whenever she decides to do a solo video and this is both perplexing and troubling because she is supposedly a happily married woman.
Also, it makes having dated Diana Marua a serious pain in the posterior because you have no idea when she will bring you up. It would seem she has no idea of the concept of statute of limitations because you could very well be in a happy marriage with children of your own and boom, your ex is bringing up your relationship from a decade ago.
Diana Marua is always going on about her exes
Usually, this is a sign they haven’t moved on but I am sure Diana Marua will argue to the contrary. Anyway, one can’t help but feel sad for Bahati whose wife is always bringing up her exes. this is some new-fangled method of cuckoldry but at the end of the day, he signed up for this mess.
The question, however, that remains unanswered is why. Why does she keep bringing up her exes? And that is what I would like to get into. We need to delve into it as far as we possibly can in a Ghafla article.
Diana Marua’s birthday series in which she surprisingly did not tell us more about her exes
I would argue that there are three reasons why Diana Marua keeps bringing up her exes and they are:
#1. They were excited as compared to her boring existence
#2. She is reliving the thrills of her past
#3. They are a source of cheap yet exciting content
She seems to enjoy retelling the stories of how she was once a married man’s chipo. She seems to enjoy telling us about how a former lover went around to gloat about the fact he had smashed her.
The reason for this is because these men were genuinely exciting and exhilarating and as a result, her body reacted as it should when it is aroused. Compare that to her safe, promised existence and you can see she misses the tingles she got.
Mrs Diana Bahati
Diana Marua is reliving her thrilling past
Her memories are her fantasies and the fact that she has an audience that joins her along on this trip only serves to make the experience even more viscerally exciting. Whenever she posts these videos, other women share their experiences with their Wafula Thundercock former partners. To me, it reads like a digital erotica orgy. She coos about the excitement she had running around and hiding her affair. The fact that the men she was with were dominant and I cannot help but look at Bahati and realize he is not the type of man she would generally be excited by.
Her old relationships are a cheap and exciting source of content
It is lazy but it is efficient. She doesn’t have to create anything new, she simply closes her eyes and taps into her mental wank bank and she remembers all the exciting DJs, businessmen and rumoured football players that would get her soaking wet and she excitedly tells us about the memories they made together. All she has to do is remember to “create” a moral for the story when she is done with her salacious memories.
Bahati recently said he has no problem with people calling him “Mtoto wa Diana” because when he was an orphan in the orphanage, he longed to have a mother. This statement made my skin crawl.
I am reminded by Bahati’s statement of a Greek tragedy called The story of Oedipus. In that myth, an oracle foretold the demise of a king, Laius, at the hands of his son. So when his wife sires a son, our good man bound his son’s legs and hands and abandoned him on some mountainside far from their native Thebes.
Bahati is a very interesting celebrity
I have a friend who is a major history buff so it shouldn’t bee too surprising that Bahati’s statement got me recalling this story. Anyway, some shepherd happens upon the child, led to it by it’s wailing and takes it to the King of Corinth who, being childless, decided to adopt the boy.
And when our boy achieves the age of manhood, he decides to travel about, gallivanting across the ancient Greek world and he happens upon an old man with his five servants and unfortunately, a squabble ensues and ends with Oedipus who is actually quite the hero, killing the man and his servants with the exception of one who happens to flee.
Bahati and his wife Diana Marua
Later, Oedpis happens to deal with the sphinx, blah blah blah and years later wanders into Thebes where the populace are still caught in the throes of mourning for their king who died and left them without an heir. I hope Bahati is paying attention because this is where it gets interesting. Our hero decides to take the throne and marries the queen, Jacosta, to legitimize his reign.
And it is at this point that through some foils, we find out why Sigmund Freud came up with the Oedipus complex: he finds out that he was the one who killed the king (that old man) and Jacosta is actually his mother. So where does this come into an intersection with Bahati?
The Bahatis
Sigmund Freud says that little boys grow envious of their father as they grow to witness their mother’s affection split between them and daddy dearest. These emotions usually get resolved as we grow into balanced adults but with Bahati who was denied a mother, he gets a fixation on the idea of who the woman was.
So he ended up marrying an older woman then purposely making himself seem like he is her child. That is why Bahati has no problem with being Mtoto wa Bahati. Do with that information as you would. I just found it to be interesting.
Bahati is in a dress once again. Yup, he seems to have proclivities for rocking dresses and once more he is in one with complete makeup for the sake of getting comments and reactions online. Seems he doesn’t have creative ideas for content so he is running back to old stunts.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CLBgBkYlKQW/
The thing about this that makes it noteworthy is that a lot of black American men in entertainment have raised complaints about being asked to rock dresses by the producers and directors of the shows they participate in. But here we have Bahati doing so willingly.
Perhaps the context is different. In America, it is the emasculation of black men and has a deep-seated history in slavery and racism. In Africa though, it doesn’t have such deep connotations. If you don’t consider willingly emasculating oneself as anything major.
Bahati loves rocking his wife’s dresses
Bahati to me is someone with deeper-seated proclivities towards cross-dressing and is using this “comedic license” to cover up the fact that he enjoys rocking female clothes. I mean, to each his own, but it is really hilarious to see him go through these ludicrous lengths to hide the fact he just loves rocking his wife’s clothes.
But he also stumbled upon something that is a boon for him. He realized that crossdressing is something that gets a lot of comments as it baits emotions and rather than innovate content, he is simply redoing what has worked in the past.
Bahati raids his wife’s wardrobe for dresses
The worst part about this is the fact that the play is getting old. Bahati is not serving up anything new to his 2.5 million followers. While it is working in the meantime (says a lot about the IQs of your average Kenyan), he can keep on keeping on. But for how long?
Bahati though has some seriously wicked makeup skills. I just hope he will commit to this gambit and even create a persona for himself whenever he rocks his dress and makeup. He could become a female version of himself that he is clearly wrestling with.
Bahati posing
Bahati could even open up new markets for himself by trying out makeup and then dresses and shoes. Bahati would have found the silver lining for himself and it would seem like it was a masterplan rather than him stumbling into it. Still, it’ll get stale. Think about it, when was the last time anyone thought of Shaniqua?
Kenya’s entertainment scene is choke-full with simps and Bahati, Daddy Owen and DJ Mo are a trio who best exemplify this fact. As a result, we have a popular culture and media that celebrates weak, spineless men who define themselves by how happy their partners are without ever thinking to find out what the difference is between social media happiness and real, everyday happiness.
Instead, of a culture that celebrates healthy takes on happiness, a culture that realizes that lying about being happy is bullshit as fake it to make it doesn’t work in that regard (I am looking at you DJ Mo), we have a culture that instead pedestalizes me who do not seem to have themselves as the focal point of their joy, men who are aware that they can be complete in and of themselves, entertainers who actually have a mission outside making m’lady happy.

As a result, there are very few men who are thought leaders for this new generation of Kenyan men. So whenever young Kenyan men want to look up to, they are forced to look beyond our borders and then our artists cry about the fact that they aren’t supported. It is much easier to support people you look up to than people who have nothing to offer you.
And while I could talk about the degenerates, today what we will instead focus on is the leaders of Kenya’s simp nation, DJ mo, Bahati and Daddy Owen. Let us look at their relationships and find out where they have gone wrong and how we can improve our own lots by learning from their nonsense:
Daddy Owen
Bashati who refuses to take leadership of his boma.
Bahati is not the type of man many can look up to because he refuses to take the lead in his relationship. It is a strange scenario we get treated to every time we see the couple together. Bahati is an orphan and understandably doesn’t know how a proper functional family unit operates but it is jarring to watch him refuse to learn and improve who he is. And as a result, he always defers to his wife’s opinions and decisions. Whenever the cameras are around and we see him stand for something, it is usually when he is throwing a childish tantrum and being a prick.

Instead, what he should be trying to do is to identify a couple that has been happily married for longer than a decade and try to get the husband to mentor him. In this, we should also learn how to manage our personal relationships by setting boundaries and taking leadership. I truly hope you aren’t hearing this concept for the first time from a university student.
If ever there was a toxic philosophy that seems to have seeped into the skulls of men like Daddy owen and Bahati, it would be this. The idea that a man should sacrifice his ambitions and his interests for the sake of keeping his wife happy. The main problem with this is that it invariably leads to resentment either when the man is no longer able to get the sun and stars for their wives or if they finally realize their only utility to their marriage is keeping their wife happy.
Daddy Owen found this up when his finances dried up. His wife was out of there but not before tearing him down with her disrespect. Bahati is still yet to realize this but it is on the offing. As for DJ Mo, he decided to cheat because he realized he had put himself into a box that made marriage unsatisfying for him.
Pedestalizing women (who have dubious pasts)
Learn how to deal with relationships from a grounded perspective, not from some Disney understanding of life. You see, we are human beings which means we have our faults and cracks. The problem with some of you men is you see you celebrities place their women on a pedestal and fail to understand why this is an issue. If you put a woman on a pedestal like Bahati has done, like Daddy Owen did, you will end up with a partner who has no option but to look down at you. Now you are nothing more than a groupie and she is your goddess.
To make matters worse, it is clear that daddy Owen, Bahati and indeed, to some degree, DJ Mo did this with women whom they had not vetted. They had not bothered to take the time to understand how their partners’ pasts could possibly become a demon lurking in the shadows of their homes. Atleast on this one, Diana Marua (Bahati’s wife) has began opening up about her past in an attempt to deal with it.
Daddy Owen married a single mother, Bahati, a lady who had for a long time been the property of the streets. The same goes for DJ Mo. And what do we know about single mothers? Well, they are only an option for men who think they have found women who are too good for them. And it will end spectacularly badly.
DJ Mo, Bahati and Daddy Owen refuse to improve who they are as men.
These guys need mentors, therapy and to read up on modern-day realities of marriages. They need to hit the gym and more than anything, ensure they are investing heavily so their money never dries up. Entertainment is a fickle industry. When the fans decide you’re a has-been, that’s that for you. These guys need to stop simping and defining themselves as husbands, fathers and such solipsistic emotional bullshit and actually find out what makes them tick and how to define themselves from a perspective that wants them to be whole.
I know we all noticed Maureen Waititu rather publicly offer to help Diana Marua find great movers and a house to move out to while she and her husband Bahati were running the gambit of breaking up and moving on to separate lives.
We all saw the comment she left for Diana Marua’s post and were rather intrigued by it to the point of causing a few retorts and hilarious comments but most people missed the most important aspect of what she did.
Maureen Waititu at the coveted Couture Africa Awards 2020
To the unassuming and untrained eye, Maureen Waititu was merely offering a woman in need some much-needed help but we haven’t seen the pair speak publicly nor have we been given any reason to suspect that they are friends. Instead, what we have is proof that the two are simply women who communicate online. So it was a peculiar sight to see indeed.
But it was relevant because it spoke to just how much healing she is yet to do. You see, there are a lot of “pro-women advocates” and card-carrying members of the “Ms Independent League” but none of them offered help. It was only Maureen Waititu who seems to have a bone to pick with the concept of love itself and is more than happy to swoop on and help extricate a woman from her unhappy situation where the love has ended.
Maureen Waititu giving Corazon Kwamboka a hard time?
It is rather sad because when we look at Maureen Waititu’s statements, we would be expected to buy the narrative that she is very happy and content with her new single life but when we delve deeper and especially check out the messages she sent to her ex, Frankie Just Gym It, she is actually unhappy and angry and misery loves company. Yes, mystery loves company enough for it to swoop in to help separate a couple (this is a cheap dig because let’s face it, Bahati and Diana Marua are assholes for playing the games they play).
Anyway, rather than jump into her DMs, Maureen Waititu was rather quick to let us know about her disdain for relationships and love. You see, help could have been offered in a myriad of ways. Offering to call Diana Marua is probably what I would have done because I am a well-adjusted individual. But if I were just interested in helping, I would have jumped in the DMs. That way, the situation remains private and my involvement remains just that.
Diana Marua
I am reminded of something Jesus Christ said, “Let not the left hand know what the right hand has put in”. And while we could sit here and debate all day long about the reasons for any of Maureen Waititu’s reasons were, one thing stands solid and that is the huge question mark over her motives still stands.
Bahati and Diana Marua have been the talk of the town with a lot of their fans, followers and haters angry at the fact they were taken for fools. In hindsight, you should probably stop doubting me when you read my opinions and hot takes on certain matters.
But because alot of you aren’t really the cerebral type, I guess you fell for their recent celebrity stunt about breaking up. We were all not amused to discover it was a prank and the fact that these two clowns have been rubbing it in our faces is something that a lot of people have really been rankled by. Think about it, it was bad enough that a lot of you were fooled by including Maureen Waititu but now you have to be reminded about the fact that they were playing you over and over again.
The Bahatis
Anyway, we have to take a step back from our emotions -either the shame of having your schadenfreude exposed or the joy of having trapped an entire generation of fans just for shits and giggles. Now let us look at the ramifications of the prank that will doubtless come into play well into the future but will nonetheless be devastating: lack of confidence in the Bahati brand.
You see, these two have gotten their seven chuckles in at the expense of not just the naysayers feeding their schadenfreude but also their own fans. This, in turn, has cheapened their brand and while corporates will take a while to respond to the dip in confidence but it will come nonetheless.
The Bahatis
You see, the immediate effect will be that people will treat them like a joke. Yup. Now, picture if you will that Bahati and Diana Marua, collectively known as the Bahatis, still had fans who loved and defended their brand. Fans who waited on bated breath for the next song. Fans who eat up every shitty episode they post on their YouTube channel. Now, do you think those gullible fans will really be as gang-ho in their support of their next endeavours? Some might. Most won’t because they feel they have been played for fools.
How will these fans defend their favourite icons when the haters come calling and questioning their intelligence? I mean, even Willy Paul took shots at his frenemy and one can’t help but agree with his take on the matter. He is absolutely right that Bahati and Diana Marua have realized they cannot depend on their talent and must instead rely on chasing the dragon that is fleeting fan attention through publicity stunts.
The Bahatis travel upcountry
Bahati coming to terms with this reality, however, is not a bad thing as it shows he is in touch with reality. He has now realized what works for him but eventually, the corporates will begin to become concerned with attaching themselves to a brand that is seen as little more than the court jester -and not in a comedic sense either. How long until they too start getting dragged into the ridicule that Bahati and Diana Marua attract?

Bahati’s marriage to Diana Marua seems to have gone belly up but then again, knowing these two, it might just be a publicity stunt. What I, however, do not believe to be a publicity stunt is the fact that his wife and his baby mama and their love child, Yvette Obura and Mueni Bahati respectively do not see eye-to-eye.
And there can only really be one party to bear the blame of this shameful turn of events and that is firmly going to be Bahati. You see, the pipsqueak gospel artist 9I am not sure whether he is a gospel artist anymore or it depends on the weather and the day) is supposed to provide leadership for his family. Given that his is a blended family that has both his wife and their children together with his baby mama and their love-child, the responsibility of making it work fell on his shoulders.
Yvette Obura with daughter Mueni Bahati, Bahati’s illegitimate daughter
Granted, some women would go out of their way to frustrate a man’s efforts, we never got the sense that was what was happening. Who am I kidding, Bahati doesn’t strike me as the type of man who would provide leadership strong enough for his family to punch their way out of a wet envelope. So perhaps there were some fracture lines we weren’t privy to between Diana Marua and Yvette Obura.
Usually, such drama is brought about by a lack of clear direction and the need for resources for the children. Perhaps Diana Marua and Yvette Obura were competing for Bahati’s resources including his attention, time and most importantly, money. If Bahati had mentors, they would have guided him through this maze of feminine emotions but seeing as he is on his own navigating some arguably complex and choppy waters, he was bound to fail.
Bahati’s seemingly ex-wife, Diana Marua
Rather than focusing on beating the man while he is down, perhaps what I should do is instead give him some advice on how to handle his situation. For starters, he needs to get masculine mentors. And unfortunately, the church is plum out of masculine leaders, it just has charlatans and men who have bought into the gynocentric ways of worshipping the virgin mother and all the members of our species who share her set of genitalia. As a result, Bahati will have to look outside the church for masculine men -preferably men who are much older than us (he and I are agemates). Men who have been married for a solid 3 decades or more.
The second thing Bahati needs to do is set up boundaries. He needs to clearly state his intention for his children and then insist the two mothers fall in line because at the end of the day, he can lose both women but his children are his for the rest of his and their lives. One such boundary can be for him to insist that they both celebrate each other’s children on social media. When Mueni has her birthday, Diana Marua had better damn well celebrate it on her account and the same goes for Yvette Obura.
Bahati and Diana Marua in happier times
The ultimate last step would be for him to make peace with the idea that he can lose these women at the drop of a hat. He should be willing and ready to walk away from them should they refuse to comply and keep it moving with his life. This, unfortunately, seems to have already been decided for him after Diana marua indicated that she was the one leaving their marriage over rumours of infidelity. But then again, what would one have expected from a man who found joy in self-deprecating humour to the point of calling himself his wife’s son?

Bahati and Diana Marua are back again and they are opening their mouths for us to have to sift through the sheer load of bullshit to determine where the gems of what they have to say lie. And that is often a tough ask because while it is said a broken clock is right twice a day (one of my mentors said that this week), having to sift through mounds of dung to find just two gems is troubling.
Bahati and Diana Marua are celebrating one of their relationship milestones and one of the things he mentioned was that he was aware that when they were newlyweds, right after the birth of his firstborn daughter, they had a fight and Diana Marua decided to go and stay with her ex-boyfriend.
Music star, Kevin Bahati
I slapped my laptop. I cannot believe the amount of cow dung I have to sift through just for me to come through with some serious advice and opinions for you, dear reader.
You see, there is nothing of value to be gleaned from the Bahatis nonsense. Nothing Bahati and Diana Marua said was worth anything more than entertainment. Do not take it seriously and do not attempt to apply the nonsense advice they give to your life because it will end up a derailed and a wreck.
The lesson I need us to focus on is the fact that none of our Kenyan celebrities is a role model. Not DJ Mo nor Size 8 and definitely not Bahati nor his missus. And that is the lesson. Go away.
Diana Marua with Bahati
Seriously though, there has been a spate of incidences in which Kenyans either look up to celebrities and idolize them or compare their lives to those of celebrities. And I have seen young boys and girls, young men and women do the same thing. This is why you will have our celebrities occasionally come out to remind their audiences that they should not be looked upto as role models.
Mrs Bahati
And my oh my, no year has stressed the fact that our stars crack quite like 2020. In twenty-twenty, we have seen all our favourite stars get exposed for either being kept women who are living large on the budget of certain governors while others have been caught wit their pants down and not to be outdone, we have to celebrities in Bahati and Diana Marua’s form just opening themselves up to ridicule for the sake of publicity. Then Bahati will walk all around these internet streets huffing and puffing, demanding Timmy TDat respect his wife…
DJ Mo is having a rough time after he was revealed to be a man who dibbles and dabbles in infidelity. The issue at hand is not that he was shown to be a man with flaws but rather that he was a man who claimed to be a man of God. He claimed to be a representative of his faith. And that is why people are really having a go at him.
For the longest time, DJ Mo and his wife Size 8 were seen as a power couple give that they had managed to find a to grow their brands and even get a fantastic net worth given that they both did not come from wealth. They were couple goals. They were the couple gospel artists would run to for help with their own marital problems. And when they began to play-act like they were having fights and it was all for the ratings of their NTV “reality TV drama”. Unfortunately, as some would argue, they opened themselves up to bad energy from the universe.
A photo collage of DJ Mo, Size 8 and his lover
Anyway, while all around him seems to be dragging him down the ocean of darkness as his emotions deluge forth, there is a very bright silver lining that he might not be of the frame of mind to appreciate that fact right now but he eventually will: he will get to see who his real friends are. For is it not said that adversity brings clarity?
DJ Mo messed up. He got caught with his hand in the cookie jar and what is even worse is the fact that the evidence that was used to convict his guilt was created by him in what was a not so intelligent moment of his life. He was clearly not thinking with his coconut but rather with his little head. And as we know, that little head is often only focused and preoccupied by two activities and he wasn’t pissing.
Gospel Dj and icon DJ Mo who is dealing with a sex scandal
Make no mistake about it, he will be the target of a lot of his current and former friends as old and new enemies will emerge to mock him and get their seven chuckles in. There is no issue with that really as schadenfreude is a viable human emotion but the problem is that most of these guys will try to kick him while he is down. But then there are those few who will silently reach out to him to see how he is doing. There are those who will reach out to his woman and attempt to reconcile the two. Often such endeavours of assistance are silent, preferring to do their work away from cameras and not trying to grab headlines for themselves.
Guys like Bahati who are always hungry for the spotlight are currently shouting from the rooftops some bullshit mantras but that is not real help. And it is up to those around DJ Mo and he himself to protect his energy and that of his family from attention heaux. But all in all, he will get to see who his real friends are.

Bahati is one of the far more sociopathic celebrities we have in Kenya but he is also one of the more intelligent celebrities too. The young man who grew up in some of Kenya’s less affluent areas (I am trying to be nice about saying the word “slum”) has literally picked himself up by the straps of his boots and made a life for himself that is the envy of many.
Bahati started out as a gospel singer whose songs would tug the heartstrings as he retold his experiences being an orphan and growing up underprivileged but he then grew into a banana republic spokesperson as he quickly found himself in bed with politicians, championing their causes during elections.
Music star, Kevin Bahati
That is not something I am saying to discredit him but rather to point out the fact that he is intelligent enough to network his way into the corridors of power and get deals from those connections. It is also a mark of intelligence just how well Bahati has been able to remain relevant even as the kenyan gospel fraternity has been falling to shambles from it’s once lofty, glorious perch in the world of Kenyan entertinament.
And this brings us to the reason for the article: an appreciation of Bahati’s latest crafty publicity ploy.
Bahati and Diana Marua, his wife
You see, the young gospel artist for a while now seemed to have been losing his faith and flirting with the idea to go secular and indeed, he did indeed. He began releasing songs with secular artists known for their more raunchy lyrical content such as Boondocks Gang before finally going all out and beginning to release “love songs”.
To the untrained eye, he seemed to have veered off his path entirely and I must admit that even I was sold on the switch. It just seemed like the logical decision to make given the fact that the gospel fraternity is currently a bloated corpse struggling not to fall into kaburi la sahau.
Kevin Bahati
And so it is that I celebrated the decision only to have Ringtone tear the scales from my eyes. Apparently, this is a ploy by Bahati before he doubles back and returns to music much to the jubilation of its congregants. And bahati will be seen as more than the prodigal son, he will be seen as the saviour of the gospel industry.
BRILLIANT!
Think about it, it isn’t just a whammy, it’s a double whammy. Can you imagine the level of intellect that went into crafting such a simple plan? And it is said that perfection can only be found in simplicity.

A few weeks ago, we decided to have a conversation around the fact that Bahati was moving like he was gearing up to quit the gospel scene. You see, Bahati has been watching how the same decision affected Willy Paul his frenemy and from the look of things, Willy Paul has only managed to grow from strength to strength and he is not slowing down.
On the contrary, the Kenyan contemporary gospel scene has been slowly grinding to a halt with several gospel artists preferring to simply chase clout on social media than churn out songs and Bahati is among that rank.
Celebrity couple, Diana Marua and Kevin Bahati
That doesn’t, however, mean that he has given up on his musical ambitions. If anything, we have been treated to Bahati slowly warming up to the idea of announcing the switch even as he did multiple collaborations with Gengeton artists.
And now the switch has more or less been confirmed by his latest song titled Missing You:
So what now for the formerly gospel artist? Well, for starters he is the type of guy who thrives off controversy so he really should just make the announcement even if it is just a mere formality. That is sure to get some of his more conservative fans, the ones who started out his journey with him as a gospel artist to say a thing or two.
And it also opens him up to actually take his show in the clearly more mature direction he has been trending towards over the past couple of weeks with he and his wife even discussing his inability to make her experience a sexual climax.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CDBpAxzjVUJ/
In addition to that, he can now expand his product endorsement deals to feature condoms, alcohol and anything further that would otherwise be off-limits for gospel singers. So who knows, perhaps this just might lead to a boon for the former gospel crooner.
Bahati and his wife recently shared a clip online in which a clearly insecure Bahati was asking his wife about the number of times her has made her achieve a climax from their sexual congress.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CDBpAxzjVUJ/
I kid you not, this is what she and Bahati are busy discussing for the sake of views but it did indeed bring into focus a truth we already knew about Bahati… He was not in the frame of mind to get married and his lack of experience is telling a clear story men should learn from.
And that is that before you finally to get married, ensure you go out into the world and enjoy the best bachelorhood has to offer because at the end of the day that is all that will give you the experience you need to handle such nonsense.
Well, that and Bahati really had no business marrying a woman with more experience than he did when it came to dating and sex. But we will circle back here later.
For now, the focus is Bahati who lacks any experience with women outside of Yvette Obura and Diana Marua. That is why he allows his wife to lead him and why they are on the interwebs debating their sex life and we are all just sitting down and wondering when his masculine energy will flow and take charge.
At the end of the day, while we understand they are in the business of looking for views, there has too be a line they aren’t going to cross because one day their children will sit down and view these clips whether or not they get pulled down off Youtube. Why? Because the internet never forgets.
The Bahatis
And a man who has had his fill of women before deciding to settle down is at a better place to resist his urges when other attractive women come his way and try to distract him from his family.
Also, such a man knows how to handle the female form so some of these insecurities. And he understands that such topics aren’t for him to explore with his wife because should she answer it, she will doubtless lie. And Bahati will be lucky to have Diana Marua lie because the alternative is him picturing one of her high profile exes making her achieve an orgasm -the same one he is incapable of making her achieve. So why go there?

Diana Marua has the ignominious place in Bahati’s life of being the Achilles heel that his detractors love to hit at to take shots at him. And the unfortunate reality they face is that this will never end.
Most recently, it was Bahati’s frenemy, Willy Paul who took shots at Bahati in a recent interview with Jalang’o. During the interview, Willy Paul referenced the jibe most people take at Bahati: His wife wears the pants in their relationship.
This assumption most people have is fed by the fact that Diana Marua is quite a few years older than Bahati. Add to this the fact that she also was a worldly woman whose relationships and entanglements were very public and you can understand why tongues are often wagging.
Bahati too often feeds the nonsense with his social media posts that are meant to be a tongue-in-cheek stab at poking fun at his detractors and the fact that he does seems to give credence to the whispers.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CCk2TYVj2aL/
At the end of the day, the fact that they have elected to open up their marriage to public scrutiny is always going to haunt them and with their children growing older and older, the lack of privacy will soon become an issue as their children begin to interact with their peers and Bahati and Diana Marua become fodder for gossip and teasing.
Bahati however, should make himself comfortable with the fact that his wife will always be the foil to his caricature and because most people cannot take aim at him as he is at the apex of his career, she will often bear the brunt of the haters vitriol because they are she is seen as more accessible what with her lack of talent.
Bahati with his wife
This though, I suspect will make the couple even closer as they will constantly have to deal with antagonists from outside their relationship and Bahati will always be stuck in a perennial defense mode to protect his wife from his haters.

Bahati has seemingly been flirting with the secular world of the entertainment scene. The gospel star has been putting out collaborative songs done with secular singers and this is actually a pattern we have seen before.
The pattern was first started by none other than his arch-nemesis, Willy Paul. And as a result, whenever we see artists begin to put out music that is skirting the line between secular and gospel, our antennae shoot up. Add to that the fact that we then begin to see gospel artists also begin to do collabos with secular artists, the bell has begun to toll.
Bahati on his part decided to make music with Gengetone’s biggest stars. And this move did indeed extend his presence in our minds because it fanned the argument of secular vs gospel collaborations. Beyond that, however, it muddies the water as his songs are now confusing their main audience: born again Christians.
And perhaps it is at this juncture that Bahati should bow out of the gospel arena and focus on giving us purely secular music. If anything, him copying Willy Paul will work because Willy Pozze already showed the way. he also bore the brunt of the detractors so there really wouldn’t be much to say in way of rebukes.
Bahati would also begin to focus on marketing a wider variety and range of commodities and services because now instead of purely focusing on working with telecom companies and mobile phone manufacturers, he could also begin to sell alcohol beverages on his page. He could even go as far as begin to take part in HIV/ AIDS awareness campaigns as well as safe-sex campaigns.
So really, be disembarking the gospel bus, Bahati wouldn’t hurt financially. Another thing that he could do is that he could easily win back some measure of authority with his fanbase who have shifted towards not trusting him, instead seeing him as a hypocrite and charlatan.
Diana Marua and her hubby Bahati are widely reviled and loved in equal measure. A quick glance at their social media accounts and you can easily establish.
To those that revile the couple, it is because of Bahati’s over the top antics -sometimes he does the most egregious stunts for the sake of publicity. Another reason is that many think his wife, Diana Marua is not deserving of her husband. Yet another reason is because of the couple’s bad business practices.
But whatever the case may be, Diana Marua and her husband are the darling of those that matter. Often, this group is made up of out of touch individuals who do not have their finger on the pulse of Kenyan culture or they simply do not care.
That is why when you examine the number of endorsement deals the couple has, you cannot help but wonder. On the one hand, the amazement is at just how brilliant Bahati and Diana Marua’s business acumen is aswell as their good luck and on the other hand at just how innocuous this group is to public sentiment.
At the end of the day, however, these are the only people who matter and Bahati has learnt to maintain nothing but glowing, warm and positive relations with them.
That is why he is always involved in one campaign or another. It also serves as a testament to his work ethic and the fact that he gets results given how often Bahati is working with brands.
So all in all, this is a good example of getting priorities straight; not trying to ingratiate yourself with everyone but instead focusing on the right people because at the end of the day, not every opinion matters.

Masterpiece is one of Kenya’s most recent celebrities to crossdress or change their gender either using makeup, technology (filters) and really just wearing actual dresses. Bahati would be the next example to come to mind.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CBsaQ4UJVNQ/
It has to make you wonder why Kenyan celebrities are doing this nonsense. Because at the end of the day, it serves no real purpose or entertainment value… Or does it?
An argument can be made that these weird challenges actually allow Kenyan celebrities such as Masterpiece to live their truth if only momentarily. These challenges also serve to entertain small-minded Kenyans bored to death in their Coronavirus self-quarantine.
While it is true that a recent trend saw Kenyans use apps to do gender swaps, today’s focus is on celebrities -especially gospel artists- who elect to put on women’s clothes.
And the reason for this focus is the stark contrast from American celebrities who vehemently decry being made to wear female clothes for shits and giggles at their expense and the expense of African American culture. The contrast between why Masterpiece and Bahati chose to wear dresses vs how your favourite actors and comics feel about being asked to wear dresses is interesting.
And Ringtone seems to agree. You see, there is a reason why African Americans refuse to look at the ask to wear female clothes and get made up fondly. It is because it is linked to racial humiliation and emasculation of their strongest men.
The trend of black actors and entertainers wearing dresses is a thing that was made not only powerful but brought to the forefront of black collective awareness by guys like Tyler Perry with his Madea bit. But make no mistakes about it, this trend goes back to the minstrel shows.
So why would Masterpiece and Bahati decide to rock dresses and act effeminate? One thing that marks the difference between Kenya and America when it comes to wearing dresses for entertainment is the racial issues that we haven’t really experienced.
However, perhaps this is the only way both lads can truly embrace who they are. Given how Kenya is conservative about trans issues, this might be the closest they get to embracing themselves and if that is the case, we shouldn’t judge them but infact encourage them to be their true selves.

Bahati is a cuckold and I do not think this is a statement anyone in their right mind would contest. You see, the young lad is a walking textbook example of the Oedipus complex.
He is young and he chose to marry early. There is nothing wrong with that. What is interesting, however, is that he chose to marry an older woman with a wealth of worldly experience. Again, there is nothing wrong with that. One additional point of interest is that whenever they are on the screen together, Diana Marua (his wife) takes on a decidedly more active role in leading them as a couple and as a family unit. Again, there is nothing wrong with that… If you want to marry your mother.
The truth of the matter as uncomfortable as it may be to acknowledge is the fact that Bahati is not the type of man who can say he leads his family unit as it’s head and he is actually increasingly becoming the norm.
And his most recent statement doesn’t just cement this fact, it also proves that he believes his own blasphemy to the point of being willing to become its evangelist.
“The house belongs to the woman. By the way, advice to men outside there, if you want to survive, if you want to be as happy as I am, just accept that controlling wife and you will be very happy in your marriage,”
But make no mistake about it, this is the harder approach to life and marriage. Traditional marriages demand a level of mindful involvement from men that liberal, soft, Bahati-esque marriages do not. You see, traditional marriages demand the man understand that he is the ultimate in authority and responsibility in the family. That means that ultimately, the buck stops with him.
Because Bahati is a gospel artist so I can take this from a Biblical perspective. What that would call for from him is for him to be the priest of his family. Prophecy success and blessings into the lives of his children. He would have to be the leader, take charge of every aspect of the family life and lead his wife as the head. And the only way you can truly do this is by providing. And finally, Bahati would have to give his presence to the family. This will allow his son to model around what it means to be a man and for his daughter to see what a man is.
Now let the pseudo-intelligentsia come at me with nonsense arguments about partnerships and nonsense as if their parents who raised them successfully did so based on liberal models.
Weezdom recently announced his exit from the gospel fraternity, preferring instead to focus on pushing Bahati’s music career foreword. At first glance, this seems like a Bahati play to kill the career of the talented people around him and instead use their creativity for his own ends but I would argue that while this is true, it isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

You cannot honestly say that Weezdom has lost out on the opportunity to make a superstar of himself because in truth, his career wasn’t exactly on fire.
A quick recap of the situation is that Weezdom has been given a new gig over at what is left of EMB records that will see him forsake his ambitions to become Kenya’s biggest gospel star and instead focus on creating content for Bahati’s social media.

In and of itself, this isn’t a bad move as it assures him a more steady revenue stream that royalty cheques of which his weren’t exactly flowing like water from a tap.
This also allows Weezdom to focus more on his personal vendetta against Bahati’s enemies, both perceived and otherwise.
But more importantly, Weezdom can claim a larger stake of the Bahati empire by claiming a share of the revenues he contributes to generating and if he has the ambition and vision, he can even grow a business out of managing more and more artists social media accounts.
But all in all, Weezdom’s decision makes a lot of sense because of the possibility to make more cents which in turn completely depends on his ability to be a visionary thinker. Only time will tell whether he had the acumen to take advantage of the opportunity presented to him.
