Posted on November 25, 2024 by Ozymandias

Social media has been rife with speculation since Irene Nekesa, the Bahati family’s long-time house help, quietly left their home a few weeks ago. The burning question remains: did Diana Marua and Bahati truly pay her a monthly salary of Ksh 100,000, or was it just a facade for social media?

Irene’s sudden departure surprised fans, especially since she had become a beloved figure in the family, frequently appearing in their YouTube videos and social media posts. Adding fuel to the rumors was Diana’s silence about Irene’s exit, with no public acknowledgment or well-wishes for her future.

Irene Nekesa Addresses Rumors About Leaving Diana Marua

Recently, Irene went viral after posting a video online where she sought assistance, showcasing the modest living conditions of her small bedsitter. This left many netizens questioning how she had managed her earnings while working for the Bahatis.

In a recent interview with Commentator 254, Irene addressed the speculations about her salary and financial situation.

“That salary… Let me ask you, Commentator, if I were to ask you how much you earn monthly, would you disclose it? My salary and arrangement with my boss are personal. Sometimes you even lie to your friends,” she said, deflecting direct inquiries about her pay.

Irene also revealed she was facing financial struggles, primarily due to her responsibilities as a mother and the primary caregiver for her elderly parents and several family members.

“I don’t have money right now… The money I earned went to paying a videographer, taking care of my child, and supporting my parents at home. People often try to plan your finances for you, but only you know how to manage it. In a family of eight, I might be the only one they’re depending on.”

Addressing criticism about her current financial state, Irene expressed frustration with the public’s assumptions.

“People ask where the money went… I wasn’t borrowing, but they say things like, ‘from mansion to beggar,’ and it hurt me. Just because Bahati has money doesn’t mean it’s mine. People forget that when you agree on a salary with your employer, that’s what you’ll be paid. Yet they still focus on someone else’s pocket and forget the reality of your circumstances,” she concluded.

After years of working at the Bahati’s house, Diana Marua decided to step into her nanny’s shoes for just 24 hours and it was nothing but crazy escapades.

The mother of two, who was Blessed enough to have several individuals run errands for her in the house while she is away and doing her own stuff, did not realize just how much her nanny does to put the place together.

But today was going to be that day.

Her nanny, Irene Nekesa on the other hand, stepped into Marua’s shoes, just to have a feel of what it feels like to be the celebrity her boss is.

Nekesa ditched the nanny’s uniform for Diana’s outdoor look, complete with a designer clutch bag, the slip-ons, the wig and a full makeup look.

Diana Marua was forced to humble herself as Irene ordered her around the house.

Marua prepared Irene to leave, fed the children, washed them, prepared breakfast and packed some fruits for Irene to go with.

The two had their usual conversation in the house, minutes before Diana leaves. Talking of how the house has run out of resources, from food, to diapers for the children, to water bills that needed to get paid.

Diana Marua who was so humbled, had to plan the meals for the day, complaining about how just too much the work in the house is.

After Irene left, Marua had to lure the babies to sleep so that she can concentrate on the house chores.

Looking pretty worn out, Diana had to rush to the market in nanny’s attire on a motorbike and back. Then get dinner ready before ‘her boss’, Irene Nekesa arrives home.

For Marua, never again will she take the place of a nanny. Watch as it all goes down:

Morgan Bahati is undeniably a sweetheart and is Diana’s favorite baby boy as seen on social media.

Both Diana and Morgan Bahati have been close since Bahati introduced the lovely lady as his better half on social media.

Morgan adopted

However fans have been asking whether Bahati adopted his son Morgan Bahati; or whether stepped in as a sponsor to help raise his nanny’s son.

I bet the questions have been raised thanks to the uncanny resemblance between Morgan Bahati and Irene Nekesa’s son. The two boys undeniably look so much like each other and now fans hope Bahati will finally set the record straight!

Irene’s son

Since Irene is boarding nanny, that means she gets to live with the Bahati’s and of course her young son who also happens to live in the same compound.

However fans couldn’t help the striking resemblance between Morgan; and Irene’s son on a photo taken during their swimming session at their home.

Looking at the photo it is evident to see that Morgan looks exactly like Irene’s young son – which could only mean that Morgan is related to Irene?

Morgan’s history with Bahati

When Bahati was 20 years old, still fresh in the entertainment industry; he went on to announce that he had adopted a 4 year old baby boy from ABC Kenya children’s home.

He announced the good news through his Facebook where he wrote;

“Meet the four-year-old Morgan Bahati. It’s my 1st Sunday with my adopted son from ABC Kenya Children Home. I know it’s too early to be a father but just show some love and wish this kid all the best in his Life and has he starts his education.”

Call it petty or just lazy thinking but it seems that the fan did not think before sharing her comment on Heaven Bahati’s post where she wrote;

Diana Marua with her nanny, Irene

ati unaacha maid apatie mtoto chakula, what are you doing mama Africa????????????????

And to our suprise Irene Nekesa was ready with a clap back that forced the lass to delete her comment. But thanks to a screenshot Ghafla managed to take, we have the response Irene Nekesa gave the fan. She responded by saying;

Ndio maana niko katika nyumba hii my dear!

She went on to give her reasons for being loyal to Diana Marua saying;

Lakini Diana is my good boss sijawahi kufanyia mwingine kaa yeye na mungu akubariki unapoishi duniani amen!

Bahati’s beef with employees

Irene Nekesa is however the first employee from Bahati’s household to speak positively about her bosses.

So far we have had many artists like Weezdom, Mr Seed, Peter Blessing among others who have complained about being mistreated by the Bahati’s.

Anyway, what Irene Nekesa wrote could be true since she has been raising Heaven since she was still very young!
