“Huyu kitu anajua kufanya kwa hii maisha ni clout” – Eddie Butita tells Rigathi Gachagua about Bahati’s clout-chasing tendencies.
On June 3, Kenyan singer Bahati puzzled fans, friends, and fellow celebrities by posting an old photo of his wife, Diana Marua, with football player Victor Wanyama, accompanied by a heartbreak emoji.
With no further explanation from Bahati, speculation about the state of his marriage began to swirl.
The situation intensified as reports surfaced that Bahati and Diana had unfollowed each other and removed their photos on Instagram.

This fueled further speculation about a potential breakup.
However, it turns out the Bahatis were just being their usual selves, engaging in a clout-chasing stunt to draw attention to their new reality show, ‘The Bahatis Empire’.
This isn’t the first time the couple has fooled fans into believing they had broken up. They’ve used similar tactics before to create buzz and attract attention.
Comedian Eddie Butita, who attended ‘The Bahatis Empire’ launch event on June 6, humorously roasted the couple for their clout-chasing antics.

He congratulated them before inviting the Deputy President to hear some secrets about Bahati and his music journey.
“I am so happy to be here at ‘The Bahatis Empire’ launch,” Butita began. “But allow me to roast Bahati and Diana. Deputy President, let me share with you some secrets about our good artist Bahati. He used to cry in 2012. He used to write letters because he was struggling financially.”
According to Butita, Bahati shifted to secular music as soon as he started earning more money.
“Wacha ashike pesa kidogo, Adhiambo. So now huyu kitu anajua kufanya kwa hii maisha ni kitu inaitwa clout. Okay, clout ni kiki. Clout means waking up today and saying you’ve broken up with your wife, and then on Friday, you release a new song,” he said.
Butita further explained, “Clout is waking up today and saying something to trend, then tomorrow you release something new. Clout is saying on Friday at 10 AM, Bahati featuring Satan for new Gospel… Clout is refusing to take your wife to the National Park because there are animals.”
Eddie Butita entertained the audience, who laughed at his jokes about Bahati’s life and journey.
His humorous take on Bahati’s clout-chasing tactics added a light-hearted touch to the launch event of ‘The Bahatis Empire’.
