Former EMB Records artist David Wonder recently opened up about his strained relationship with gospel star Bahati, his former boss at the record label. In a candid interview with *Nairobi News*, the *Ndogo Ndogo* singer shared that their connection was strictly professional, not personal.

Reflecting on a difficult time in 2022 when he fell ill, Wonder noted that Bahati never checked in on him—a response he attributes to the business-only nature of their relationship. “I always speak honestly, and the truth is, Bahati was never my friend. He was my boss, and I respect him as such. We don’t owe each other anything or expect anything from each other,” Wonder said.

Despite their rocky parting, Wonder clarified that he held no expectation of help from Bahati during his illness, understanding that they hadn’t parted on friendly terms. “I didn’t expect any support from him, given that we didn’t end things amicably,” he acknowledged.

Wonder also shared his appreciation for the support he received from other industry colleagues, notably Mr. Seed, with whom he maintains a close friendship. “Mr. Seed was there for me, unlike Bahati. Even before I got sick, Bahati never reached out, so I wasn’t expecting anything from him,” Wonder explained.

In 2019, Bahati had publicly accused both Mr. Seed and David Wonder of owing him more than Sh6 million, claiming they falsely accused him after their fallout and were spreading stories to gain attention.

“My family, friends, and those close to me know that I was on the brink of becoming homeless. Last year was incredibly difficult. I would lock myself in my room and cry every day, but I never gave up on God or praying. In April, I lost everything,” she shared.

Yvette recalled struggling with the harsh reality of her situation, contemplating moving from her two-bedroom house to a smaller one.

“I remember telling my sister that life was so hard, and I might have to go back to Mom’s or downgrade to a bedsitter. But she reminded me that we serve a living God,” she said.

Her breakthrough came after seeking God’s guidance, and she witnessed a complete turnaround in her life. From sleeping on a mattress, she regained her footing and could afford things she never imagined.

“If you had told me last year that I’d be able to afford a trip to Dubai, I wouldn’t have believed it. It’s truly a blessing. I prayed to make my daughter proud, and I’m grateful that my daughter now has capable parents. If one side lacks, the other will provide,” Yvette reflected.

Bahati and Mr. Seed’s friendship dates back to their youth in Mathare, where they both began their careers as dancers.During a time when Bahati was struggling with homelessness and lack of support, Auma welcomed him into her home and provided him with the love and care he needed.

Bahati recalled Auma’s unwavering support, from sewing clothes for him to providing guidance during his relationship with Diana Marua. He expressed deep gratitude for her selfless love and the positive impact she had on his life.

In June 2023, popular Kenyan artist Bahati announced his upcoming wedding to his long-time partner, Diana Marua. The couple initially set their wedding date for December 12, 2023. However, the wedding did not occur as planned, and they later rescheduled it for October 2024, the month of their anniversary.

During a local media interview on September 8, Bahati revealed that the October wedding plans might not go ahead as expected, primarily because Diana Marua has been hesitant to settle on a specific date.

“We planned our wedding for October 20, our anniversary, but Diana keeps postponing it every day. It’s not up to me anymore,” Bahati explained.

He further mentioned that Diana is now considering a date in February, but he is reluctant to make any more announcements until she finalizes her decision.

“I think she’s suggesting a date in February, so I don’t want to discuss it until she makes it official because every time I announce it, I look like I’m chasing clout,” he added.

Bahati expressed his frustration with the constant changes, recalling a conversation they had:

“You wake up and decide on a December 12 wedding, but then Diana says, ‘Babe, people are busy at that time, and we will be traveling…’ I’m like, ‘But it’s your day; it’s about you.’ She complained on Netflix, so I suggested October 20, but now it’s up to her to decide,” he shared.

Diana Marua admitted that she isn’t ready for the wedding, which is why she keeps postponing it. When asked what she needs to feel prepared, Diana confessed that she wasn’t entirely sure but is working towards it.

“Weddings give me butterflies… We talked about it, and he asked, ‘Babe, why do you keep postponing?’ and I said, ‘I just want to be ready.’ He asked, ‘Ready for what?’ and I replied, ‘I don’t even know, but I just want to be ready.’ I think I’m not mentally prepared, but I’m working on it,” Diana explained.

She hinted that the wedding might happen next year but did not provide a specific date.

“Honestly, maybe sometime next year,” Diana stated.

In October 2023, Bahati made a significant step by paying dowry to Diana’s family, marking an important milestone in their seven-year relationship, even though the official wedding date remains uncertain.

Bahati and Diana Marua have built a blended family with five children: three children together, an adopted son, and Bahati’s daughter from a previous relationship with Yvette Obura.

Bahati Kioko initially rose to fame as a gospel artist, with his breakout hit “Mama” marking his entry into stardom. Over time, however, Bahati shifted his focus and began attracting controversy, which led to criticism from those questioning his departure from gospel music.

In recent years, Bahati has increasingly released secular music and even ventured into Mugiithi, a genre he explored briefly to support himself. Despite the criticism, Bahati remains unfazed and is driven by his own goals.

“I’m always clear about what I want, regardless of what others say. There will always be comments whether you’re doing well or not, but I’m focused on succeeding. My background plays a role in this too; people may not fully understand my past,” Bahati shared in a conversation with rapper CMB Prezzo.

He also discussed his short-lived political career, reflecting on his 2022 run for a parliamentary seat in Mathare. Although he didn’t win, he considers the experience a personal victory.

Bahati recently received a direct message from a woman named Mildred, who claims to be his stepsister. In a shocking revelation, Mildred asserted that Bahati’s biological mother is alive and often becomes emotional upon seeing him on television.

The news has left Bahati torn between disbelief and hope, unsure whether to cry or laugh in response to this unexpected development. He took to his social media platforms to share his bewilderment over the message.

“Sijui nilie ama nicheke… Só apparently sómeone has sent me a DM saying that my mum is alive,” Bahati posted.

Mildred’s message detailed, “Mambo. Mimi naitwa Mildred na pole sana kwa kukuambia mamako bado ako hai na mimi ni dada yako. Ati yeye akikuonanga kwa TV anaskianga machozi sana akueleze vile kulienda.”

She also provided contact information, urging Bahati to reach out to hear the full story from his alleged mother.

I am sure you will change your stance, and before you return to State House, you will call a press conference to cancel this thing before midnight. The nation wants this bill rejected, not amended.

Fans are expressing their frustration with Diana Marua, accusing her of not reciprocating the support they’ve shown her by failing to stand with them during a critical moment. Despite her popularity, Marua’s recent actions have left many feeling disappointed and betrayed.

In recent years, expectations have grown for celebrities and influencers to use their platforms for political and social advocacy. With their significant reach and influence, public figures are increasingly seen as vital voices in the fight for justice and change. This shift was especially evident during the Occupy Parliament protests, where the public expected celebrities to join them in their cause.

As Kenyans took to the streets to protest the Finance Bill 2024, the pressure on public figures to show their support became palpable. Diana Marua, a well-known Kenyan influencer, found herself in hot water after posting a message online late at night, simply stating “#RejectFinanceBill2024.” Unlike other celebrities who joined the protests in person, Marua’s social media post did not sit well with her followers.

Netizens flooded her comment section, criticizing her for the timing and lack of active participation. Many felt that a mere social media post was insufficient, especially since the protests had already been underway for some time. The consensus was that her support came too late to make any real impact.

Fans were particularly disappointed that Diana did not show up in person to support the protests, despite the significant support they had given her during the launch of her latest reality show. This perceived lack of reciprocity led some fans to threaten to unfollow her, feeling abandoned in their time of need. As of now, Diana Marua has remained silent on the issue. Additionally, her husband Bahati did not join the protests and has not publicly shared his stance on the bill.

Another celebrity facing criticism is Eddie Butita. The scriptwriter and comedian has been trending on X (formerly Twitter) for his perceived indecisiveness regarding the Finance Bill and the planned protests surrounding it. While many Kenyans, including celebrities and politicians, took strong stances against the Bill and supported the Occupy Parliament protests, Butita’s attempts to weigh in did not garner much support.

Initially, Butita shared his thoughts on the Bill, mentioning that he had raised some concerns and expressed confidence that action would be taken. However, his politically correct and equivocal statements did not resonate with the public. As pressure mounted, Butita faced increasing criticism for his lack of a clear stance. Despite his attempts to clarify his position, his tweets only fueled further disapproval.

In one tweet, he mentioned “Article 37,” which led to more questions about why he didn’t elaborate on its contents. Fans accused him of being influenced by promises or compromises rather than taking a definitive stand against the Bill.

Bahati Calls Out Decay in Kenyan Gospel Industry

Posted on by Ozymandias

Singer Bahati has raised concerns about the decline of Kenya’s gospel music industry, noting that it has lost much of its former strength over the past decade.

The former gospel artist took to social media to express his thoughts, suggesting that divine favor has shifted to countries like Nigeria and Rwanda.

Bahati lamented the downfall of once highly-regarded Kenyan gospel ministers, attributing it to pride, internal conflicts, and their transformation into mere puppets.

“Kenya has been and will always be part of the gospel revival, but we might not produce the significant gospel brands we did ten years ago. Why? Because God has shifted that favor to Nigeria and Rwanda,” Bahati remarked.

He highlighted influential gospel artists from these countries as new leaders in the genre.

“We look up to figures like Sinach and my friend Israel Mbonyi. It’s not that Kenya lacks talented singers or good gospel songs. The truth is that talents nurtured by God in the church have turned against each other in mutual animosity,” he added.

Bahati criticized the gospel industry for having more puppetry compared to the secular world.

“There are more puppets in the church than in the secular world. When someone succeeds, people in the gospel industry quickly unite to bring them down, unlike in the Gengetone scene,” he pointed out.

Despite his critique, Bahati clarified that he rarely discusses church matters publicly to avoid being accused of seeking attention.

“I don’t like delving into church matters much, and I know they know themselves. They’ll say I’m craving attention. But the truth is, I hesitate to engage in this industry because of the internal strife among its members,” he explained.

Acknowledging that he is not holier than others, Bahati stressed the importance of humility and repentance within the gospel community.

“One thing I’m sure of is that we need to seek forgiveness and abandon puppetry so that God can elevate us to greater heights. Otherwise, I pray that God continues to bless Arbantone while we pretend to be deputies of Jesus but are actually mere puppets,” he concluded.

“A polygamous relationship is not for me. I can’t fathom allowing that, saying it’s part of his job,” Diana affirmed.

These candid exchanges in “The Bahati Empire” offer an unfiltered look at the complexities of celebrity relationships and the unique challenges they encounter.

Other well-known personalities featured on the reality show include Rev. Lucy Natasha, The Murayas, Jackie Matubia, and MP Jalang’o, among others.

Directly addressing Bahati, Size 8 reminded him of his strong spiritual connection before his shift to secular music.

“Size 8, I haven’t changed. I am still the same Bahati. I just don’t post my prayers,” Bahati replied, attempting to assure her of his unwavering faith.

Size 8 recounted a significant prophecy Bahati had shared early in their marriage.

“Bahati, do you remember when you told me that as a serious gospel artist and a gospel flag-bearer, I would face challenges? When I was two months into my marriage, you warned me that the devil would try to use miscarriages to break DJ Mo and me apart,” she recalled.

Explaining his perspective on the prophecy, Bahati recounted the conversation.

“I remember calling Size 8 while I was along Kiambu Road. I told her that she would face an attack, possibly a miscarriage or something negative. But I always believe that when God speaks, He provides a solution. I prepared her for the victory that would follow,” he clarified.

Regarding his current musical direction, Bahati defended himself, stating: “I left the gospel scene when I was still Kenya’s top gospel artist. I still believe I am the best gospel artist. But what defines gospel? They say gospel resides in the heart.”

He further justified his actions, explaining that some of his videos involve acting.

“At times, we create content to show our fans that we are keeping up. It’s nothing serious. None of my songs are bad,” he emphasized.

Over the years, Size 8 has suffered two miscarriages in her marriage due to complications such as high blood pressure.

In 2020, she disclosed that the miscarriage she experienced in 2018 deeply impacted their relationship.

“We fought a lot and blamed each other because we didn’t know how to cope. It was a tough period, but our son brought us closer together and helped us support one another,” Size 8 reflected.

Jackie Matubia also hinted that her second baby daddy didn’t support her idea of liposuction, saying, “That’s what led to our parting ways because what man doesn’t want his woman to look good?”

Previously, Kinuthia had tried a weight loss balloon but ended up regaining the weight as working out isn’t her favorite activity.

Several celebrities, including Risper Faith, Phoina Tosha, and Murugi Munyi, have undergone liposuction surgery. Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure to remove unwanted body fat.

According to Mclainsurgicalarts.com, “The maximum amount of fat that can safely be removed with liposuction is between six to eight pounds (three to four liters). Removing more increases the risk of complications.”

If more fat removal is needed, additional procedures must be scheduled three to four months apart.

There are six types of liposuction surgeries. The specific procedure depends on the type of liposuction being performed, which may be an outpatient procedure or require an overnight hospital stay. To speed up recovery and reduce swelling and pain, wearing a compression garment on the treated area for several weeks may be necessary

I would give it a 5.8/10… the drama was too much, I wish we could see Diana B working as a content creator. Wish we could see them parenting. I dont think a reality show is all about the glitz and glamour. Too much acting and throwing shade.. scripted or not.. Diana riding Baha eii 💀.. I loved how Diana is not afraid to show her strict side when it comes to her younger sister, Varl. I have to give it to Bahati, manzz can communicate effectively and respectfully 👏🏾👏🏾 I was entertained ✨😂 .

Diana countered by stating he was the one who forced her to leave. Bahati also revealed his preference for older women, which he says influenced his choice of Diana as his wife.

The viewers’ reactions are mixed, with some curious about the underlying tensions and others questioning the show’s authenticity.

Bahati recently disclosed that he often receives advances from bold, unashamed women, even in the presence of his wife, Diana Marua, who is also the mother of three of his biological children.

“Of course, it’s me. When you buy a girl a Range Rover, a mansion… they want to be the fourth wife, aah, second wife,” Bahati humorously remarked.

However, Diana has made it clear that she is not open to the idea of sharing her husband, as she firmly stated during an episode of their reality show when discussing polygamy with Karen Nyamu, who supports the concept.

“Mpango wa kando (a side chick) is not my portion in Jesus’ name,” Diana firmly asserted to Karen.

Regarding Bahati’s views on polygamy, in July 2023, he jokingly suggested that marrying one wife might prevent many from entering heaven. In a YouTube video, Bahati questioned modern pastors who advocate for monogamy, challenging them to provide biblical evidence supporting it. He cited biblical figures like David and Solomon, who had multiple wives, to support his argument.

During the video, Bahati asked Diana if she believed Solomon, known for his wisdom, was in heaven. Diana confirmed her belief, prompting Bahati to imply that having multiple wives might not be detrimental to one’s spiritual destiny.

“So having many girlfriends is okay?” he concluded, justifying polygamy based on his interpretation of Solomon’s situation.

Despite Diana’s firm stance on monogamy, Bahati noted that in heaven, there will be no marriages, quoting Jesus’ words about people singing and enjoying honey and milk.

Bahati used the same photo strategically to generate buzz while promoting his new show on Netflix. When asked if he had spoken to Wanyama before reposting the photo, Bahati responded:

“Why should I ask Wanyama if I can post the photo while it is him and his friend? Let me tell you something. I never said anything. Wanyama and Mariga are my friends. I even campaigned for Mariga in Kibra,” Bahati told Betty Kyallo on TV 47.

He went on to explain that his silence was misinterpreted.

“At times you see rumors, and when you are quiet, they fuel more rumors. But when you show people that it’s normal, they will keep quiet. In this show, we will address so many rumors and even more about our lives. The reason we posted it is because people always want to use it. You give people what they want. Kenyans want to feed a lot of negative energy, and we have been quiet.”

Marua also shared her thoughts, questioning why people felt they had a say in who her friends should be.

“You don’t want me to have friends? I can’t take pictures with people, or is it because he is a celebrity?”
Victor Wanyama is married and has a son with actress Serah Teshna.

Bahati revealed that he did not address the allegations to protect everyone involved.

“Most of my fans know that I adopted my son. When the photo was trending a while back, I don’t think he (Wanyama) had a thick skin like I have, and so one day it was trending, and it’s a cruel social media world. It got to him. If I came out to address it, it would not help anyone. I chose to be sarcastic about it and move on.”

Marua clarified that the selfie was taken during a casual hangout with mutual friends.

When asked by Betty Kyallo how she handles social media trolls, Marua said: “My husband (Bahati) has taught me to learn to die in public opinion. The same people who praise you today, will hate you tomorrow. It’s a cruel world. We ignore trolls most of the time.”

Bahati added that he is no longer affected by negative comments.

“I don’t care if she is trending or being trolled. Being real is so rare. The show will highlight the challenges we have gone through in our marriage over the seven years. If we become a perfect couple, we will not be inspiring anyone.”
