The Muraya family must be happy to have been blessed with one beautiful daughter who has changed their entire life and if anything – tamed her parents (in a good way that is).
About two years ago Size 8 welcomed her 1st child with DJ Mo but like most celebrities she chose to keep her baby off the public eye for privacy reason. On the same day the baby was born, the gospel singer sadly lost her mother but all in all is grateful as this was just another blessing in the bad times.
Ladashabelle
Her fans however got to meet or rather see baby Ladashabelle after a few weeks and since then the young girl has become a favorite to many.
Ladashabelle looks like a very calm baby but also playful judging from the videos shared on her gram. Awayy from that, I happened to bump into a never before seen photo of the baby girl when she was barely a week old.
She is undeniably a beautiful to look and the photo below will prove this.
Njoki Chege stripped DJ Mo last Saturday November 16th on her column on Daily Nation. She said 5 mean things about Size 8’s husband that prompted DJ Mo to take action.
Njoki Chege expressed her anger with DJ Mo on her column titled ‘DJ Mo has a flawed view of marriage and should apologize for his remarks’.
This followed DJ’s confession that he subjected his wife Size 8 through a series of tests before he decided to marry her.
Njoki said 5 things in her article that rubbed DJ Mo the wrong way;
1.DJ Mo’s name reminds Kenyans of Benga maestro
Njoki claimed the mention of the name ‘Sammy Muraya’ Kenyans will first think of the late Benga maestro not Size 8’s husband, implying Mo was still in the bush league.
2. DJ Mo has flawed sense of self-importance
Njoki claimed DJ Mo had flawed sense of self-importance and an inflated ego. This after Mo claimed in his revelation that girls were worshipping him.
3. DJ Mo is an embarrassment to the gospel industry
Njoki sensentionally state that DJ Mo was an embarrassment to the gospel industry for his demeaning and disrespectful portrayal of Size 8. Njoki said that DJ Mo showed the whole world that his wife was a gullible and naïve woman who was easily manipulated into a marriage.
4.DJ Mo has a flawed view of marriage
According to Njoki Chege, DJ Mo believes his wife is only good for cooking and and cleaning. She said DJ Mo demonstarted how his view about marriage was skewed.
5. Size 8 is the lucky one, not DJ Mo
Njoki Chege claimed DJ Mo was the lucky one in his marriage with Size 8. The Daily Nation columnist said that Mo consider himself very lucky for bagging such a beautiful and talented woman.
While you are struggling to pay your car loan, Size 8 just walked into the showroom undecided about the car she wanted to buy, saw a Kes 7 million Jaguar XF, paid for it and went home smiling.
Size 8, who had been driving around the city in a Toyota Celina, parted with a whopping 7 million shillings to buy herself a Jaguar XF 2016.
The gospel singer was first seen with her British machine a week ago when she arrived at Local Productions (home of SuperSport and MNet) to host her Sunday show – Pambio Live – on Maisha Magic East.

Size 8 has now opened about her experience buying the Jaguar XF. Speaking to Heads Up, the mother of one revealed that she was undecided about the car she wanted to buy when she walked into RMA showroom.
The singer stated that she paid for the Jaguar with the cash she had after agreeing with her husband to purchase the British machine.

“I did not know I was going to buy a Jaguar but when we got to the showroom, I discussed it with my husband and this is the car we agreed on. I don’t believe in buying cars through loans,” Size 8 said.
Size 8 is the owner of a brand new British machine worth 7 million shillings. The gospel songstress was first seen with her Jaguar XF when she going about her work at MNet studios in Jamhuri.
The price for Jaguar XF abroad is $48,000 or Kes 4.8 million but RMA is selling the British machine for Kes 7,000,000 in Kenya. DJ Mo confirm his wife parted with 7 million to buy the British machine.
Mo accompanied Size 8 to RMA showroom to buy her brand new car, zero mileage.
“God is Faithful again but this time to my wife @size8reborn – it’s a testimony !!! Thank you RMA team (The official Jaguar and Range/Land rover dealers in East Africa. They have the best and quality cars – just gotten a brand new JAGUAR XF -full option – 0 milleage worth 7M and they are approachable, affordable and reliable,” wrote DJ Mo.
“I just cannot believe am actually posting this pic right here. Surely God can do exceedingly abundantly above all you can ever ask think or imagine. This is my testimony that God is so great and He fights for us daily we only need to believe. A brand new Jaguar xf full option from @RMAkenya wow amazing glory to God. Truly accessible affordable and reality in my life . Wow wow wow nothing is impossible you only need to believe and go get what you want. Glory be to God…….”Wrote Size 8.
Gospel singer Linet Munyali popularly known as Size 8 has graduated from driving a Toyota Celina to cruising in a Jaguar XF 2016.
Size 8 has now joined her celebrity husband to own an expensive British machine; DJ Mo bought a Range Rover sometimes in March this year after dreaming about owning the pricey SUV for a long time.

DJ Mo’s wife, who had been driving around the city in a Toyota Celina, parted with at least 4.8 million shillings to buy herself a Jaguar XF 2016.

There was a time when Size 8 resorted to theft just to survive. The gospel songbird opened up about her criminal past explaining how circumstance forced her to do things she’s not proud of.
The thought of Size 8 stealing is hard to grasp but actually the singer together with her sister engaged in petty theft just to survive in Eastlands where they were raised.
Size 8 and her sister while they were still kids
In a past interview with Citizen Digital, Size 8 narrated how her sister and her were brought up in poverty and how hunger drove them to commit crime.
“I was born and raised in Maringo Eastlands Estate. As a family we were so poor that we lacked enough food. So on this particular day my sister and I stole the neighbor’s chicken…hunger was too much. My elder sister devised a trap which worked very well. We strategically laid a tail of maize grains which led into our house. The neighbor’s chicken fed o the cereals until it got into the house. We immediately pounced on it, slaughtered, boiled and fed on the chicken. Hiyo siku hatukuwa hata na mafuta ya kukaranga. We later washed the utensils thoroughly, put the chicken’s feathers inside a polythene bag, wrapped it and threw it away. We had to get rid of the evidence,” Size 8 narrated.
The singer also reminisced about how Citizen TV’s Jacque Maribe used to help her with pads when they were still students at State House Girls High School.
Some people are not comfortable breastfeeding their babies in the open where everybody watch what they do. But a few Kenyan celebrity mothers don’t mind doing it.
Miss Karun, who became a mother a few months ago, has also joined the bandwagon of celebrity mothers who have no reservations when it comes to breastfeeding in public.
The former Camp Mulla singer must have been motivated by DJ Pierra Makena and Size 8 who are so proud of breastfeeding their babies in the open.
Pierra has been caught on camera one too many times breastfeeding her daughter Ricca Pokot in public.

Miss Karun has also caused a stir when she was caught on camera breastfeeding her son at the salon while she was getting her hair done.
Size 8 turned 30 years this past weekend and to mark this special event, the lady spent her day with family and friends at Enashipai resort in Nakuru where her husband seemed to have a couple of events lined up for her surprise birthday party.
From the photos shared by Dj Mo and other friends, there is no doubt that Size 8 turned 30 years in style and the fact that she had her family around made it extra special.
However after the cake session, Size 8 received the ‘kiss of life’ from her husband that has left most social media users discussing it on their social media pages.
Well, I am not really sure whether the two were uncomfortable hence the ‘bad locking lip session’ or they just don’t kiss at all.
Anyway a few fans wrote saying;
Diana: He has let me down. He is kissing like he’s sucking juice out of a straw
Muthoni: This reminds me of someone I used to know.
Masinza: Can’t believe huyu Ni Size 8 Na Dj Moz
Grace: Maybe ni leo tu ilitokea vibaya
Karithi: Actually, size 8 ndiye ameplace wrong… Look at it again
Rebecca: Lol anakunywa chai moto
Risper: Pitieni huku uone Dj Moh akinyonya mafuta kwa caburetor
Victoria: Kissing upper lip ni matata for Kenyan men, afadhali they just stick to lower lip, nimeenda hivi nakuja
Tonnie: It’s called the carburettor kiss folks
Lena: Anavuruta oil kwa carburettor.
Winnie: na ni maceleb. Wakujie classes
Rachel: Hehe DJ mo it’s not done like this #kiundutho Liz: Hiyo kiss yuuuuucccccckkkkkkk! Njoroge: I guess this guy’s side hustle is being a mechanic
Size 8 and her hubby DJ Mo were blessed with a lovely baby girl two years ago and if anything the gospel is now craving for another baby, that is if she is the one running her daughter’s Instagram page.
A few days ago she uploaded a photo of her daughter hanging out at their door step but what caught my attention is the statement she used to caption her Ladashabelle’s photo. The caption read,
I need a brother or sister to play with ?? I hope mummy and daddy reads this?
But we all know that Ladasha still can’t read or write at this age so her mum could have used the opportunity to hint how she feels….just saying!
Anyway, let’s hope that DJ Mo gets the message…but checkout the photo below:
Size 8 is happy to have been raised in a God fearing family and the fact that her dad was/ is a pastor is one of the reasons she got saved after exploring secular music a few years ago.
From what we know is that her dad and mum loved each other and even after when they lost their mum…her dad has been drawn closer to his four children who are now raising their own families.
Well, two days ago Mr Munyali turned a year older and to mark this special day Size 8 shared a special message to celebrate her daddy through her social media pages. From her caption, the gospel singer described him as the best man she could have asked for a father as she wrote saying;
On this very day such a great man was born and I call him father. He is full of life, full of love and humility that is beyond my understanding. He loves us his children so much. I love u so much.
Judging from the photo she shared, it is quite clear to see that he is aging well for a man who already has grandchildren. Meet Mr Munyali below;
The last time Size 8 was trolled this bad was when she was featured in Willy Paul’s controversial song ‘Tiga Wana’. But her new rap song has also received so much hate.
Online bullies have been very mean bashing Size 8’s new rap song ‘Mwambie’. The comments on YouTube and the talks on Facebook clearly indicate critics were not bothered to listen to the message in Size’s song.
A certain Kate Wa Gladys wrote an essay on Facebook just to express her frustrations with Size 8’s new rap song:
“Ok… Size 8… We need to talk.
Let’s start with the make up… I’m no expert in this field but honey… Kuna kitu inaitwa blending….. You are friends with Mrs Kiuna, please ask her to refer her MUA to u
Again I’m no expert but rap isn’t for u… Acaaa…. Just sing love. Just sing and stop even speaking 2 words.. When your Mr is a yoyo and you are a gichagi, just love him but don’t copy him. Sisi pia Tuko hapo… Muthee ni Yule wa kutembea na ka swaga. Na sisi huku ni Watu wa nyandarua. We love them, we don’t try to be them. He spins hizo ma yoyoyoyoyo…. Wewe imba tu… Sawa mami
You really don’t have to sing gospel. Kama imekataa imekataa…. No need to make songs that people wonder what you are trying to say. Unaona zile Siku you were singing akina moto… Yes u made sense. Now here we r left wondering, what’s the message? What exactly was your narrative here. You can be a Christian and sing songs that talk about the weather. Don’t force issues. We won’t judge.
You need a sit down with women and gospel artists who have a connection with God. You know enough people. Get a mentor. Coz the songs you are singing my sistoooo…..
Finally, that thing u are doing with the mouth as you attempt to rap, never ever ever do it again. Sijui it’s meant to show u r tough, or sexy or no ile sura Nicki Minaj huweka when rapping or what the intention was.. Just never ever ever do it again!!
Niwaigua kamaamuu??” Kate Wa Gladys wrote.
Size 8 is however looking at the positive side of the bile that has been spewed at her, she said the attention her song has gotten is good because more people will listen/watch her song.
“I like the attention Mwambie is getting, because when people talk about it, other people will go and listen to it and through that, people will get ministered to,” Size 8 said.
Singer Size 8 is undeniably one of the most stylish mums we have in the entertainment industry. She is simple when it comes to her outfits, but mama Ladasha always finds a way to look amazing in everything she wears.
Anyway, a few years ago she got married to the love of her life, DJ Mo – in a civil marriage that only allowed those close to her attend.
And since it seems that she did not want something exaggerated, the still enjoys her marriage – together with the DJ Mo and their baby.
Size 8 and her family
The singer has however left many questioning why she did not choose a white wedding while others praised her fine looks and figure after stepping out in a gorgeous white dress….that clearly shows how much she would have stunned on her wedding.
But as expected, the singer did not respond to the questions and captioned to say the dress she had worn was from one of her latest song which she recently released.
Ever wondered how DJ Mo would look if he gained excess weight? Well, worry no more as a new photo of the DJ looking fat has emerged online thanks to the new broadways advert he was featured in.
The popular gospel DJ shared the photo through his social media pages and his wife could not let the photo go without trolling him. Size 8 joined the list of fans commenting on her husband’s photo as she went ahead to compare him with DK kwenye Beat’s body.
She also tagged the gospel singer on her comment and we now know that DJ MO’s face was actually photoshopped on DK’s body. Anyway…checkout the hilarious photo below

Seems that Bahati kept his daughter on the low and not even his close friends knew about her either. Size 8 who has been a mentor to the singer wrote a moving message dedicated to the singer moments after he went public about his daughter.
Size 8 talks about seeking forgiveness from God as he has proven to be a forgiving father. She goes on to congratulate Bahati for taking responsibility despite knowing that many would judge him for having a child out of wedlock.
The gospel singer also praises the young girl for her beauty and as a mother, Size 8 also understands the struggles one has to put up with when it comes to dealing with pressure from toddlers. She wrote,
Now this is the way forward for anyone hating on the singer for having a baby.
Speculations ran rife that Size 8 and DJ Mo’s wedding had hit rock bottom after local daily reported that the gospel singer had moved from her matrimonial home to rent her own house in Runda.
The Nairobian reported that Size 8 separated from her husband over accusations of infidelity on his part. The gospel songbird however dismissed the claims saying that her marriage to DJ Mo was steadfast.
Well, critics were not done with Size 8 yet, they found another reason to argue that all wasn’t well between the two gospel celebrity couple.
Size 8’s wedding ring became a subject of interest after she squashed earlier divorce rumors, apparently Mama Wambo hasn’t been wearing her wedding ring for quite some time. And the reason being?
“When I gave birth, I gained weight, hence my wedding ring couldn’t fit me anymore. It’s two years since I took it off and I’ve been training so hard to reduce my weight,” Size 8 was quoted by the Star.
So there you have it, Size 8 and Mo haven’t split and her wedding ring can’t fit on her finger because she has put on weight.
Size 8 has had it tough since she got saved 4 years ago. She has been dragged into a couple of scandals but seeing how much faith she has, the mother of one always let’s it roll over without talking about it.
However, after rumor had it that she had separated with DJ Mo… the gospel singer felt the need of addressing these statements released by a certain tabloid that wrote to say,
“It is alleged that Size 8 moved out of their matrimonial home during Easter after she allegedly found incriminating evidence that her husband, DJ Mo, was cheating on her.”
Size 8 with DJ Mo
This caught many by surprise as DJ Mo and Size 8 always seem like the perfect couple. The thought of the gospel DJ Mo cheating on his wife was also new but speaking to eDaily Size 8 set the record straight as she denied the allegations by saying,
“My marriage to DJ Mo is steadfast. I do not know the genesis of the reports claiming that Mo and I have separated. We still live in the same house, we still love each other. I am used to gossip being created around my life. When I got saved four years ago, I trended for a whole week on social media, with some quotas claiming, then, that my salvation was not genuine. I proved them wrong over time. Currently, I am an ambassador of an initiative known as Pima Pressure, and today (May 13), I posted a video on Instagram about the campaign; and toward the end of the video, if you watch it, you’d hear my husband, DJ Mo, speaking to me. That is enough evidence to counter allegations that we are not together as had been reported.”
Size 8 went on to add that her marriage is based on true love and nothing ‘not even’ fake stories can break them up.
“I am praying against forces wishing DJ Mo and I a break up. But again, my marriage is based on love and faith. My heart, nonetheless, won’t break when I read reports about us that are not true. I am used to people talking.”
Every parent’s wish is to have her child/children healthy and free from all illness. This is why Size 8 has been feeling restless after her baby girl fell ill a few days ago and at the same time her younger sister, Deejay7 got admitted to hospital.
Through her Instagram page Size 8 poured her heart to God asking him to take care of her daughter as she could not bare seeing her sick. She went to reveal how much she was attached to her baby girl, something very many first time mums feel. She wrote,
#motherhood loving my princess more and more everyday. I hope mammy i am doing the best for you. Am so attached to you my dear. God please take care of this one for me.
She went on to pray for her sister in another post as she wished her quick recovery a few days ago after Deejay7 was admitted to hospital. However, Deejay 7 was discharged two days ago and is now recovering from home.
Deejay 7
This week has had calamity after calamity sijui mungu una fanya nini but i trust you. Waaaaaa am without words. 3 people have fell sick this week jozie @ladashabelle and now @deejay7_ . I cannot believe @deejay7_ you can be sick and not just sick but really sick to appoint of admission woi. And the way you are the one who is always taking care of me. Now its my time to return the favour. Love u my sis get well soon. @deejay7_ by the stripes of Jesus you are healed.
It seems Size 8 is sharpening her acting skills; the gospel songstress has all over sudden developed passion for literary genres.
Size 8 recently launched a YouTube channel chronicling the daily lives of the Murayas – for the first time she has allowed cameras into her private life to show her fans what Linet Munyali does when she’s not on social media.
The flourishing gospel singer has also made a guest appearance on comedy-drama television series Auntie Boss which airs on NTV every Tuesday at 8.20pm.
Size 8 takes a selfie with Daddie Marto, one of the directors of Auntie Boss
Eve D’Souza, who is one of the directors and also a main cast on Auntie Boss, announced that Size 8 would feature on the NTV program.
“Busy but happy day on set as Size 8 makes a star appearance on Auntie Boss this episode is so crazy look out for it,” Eve D’Souza wrote.
Size 8 with Eve D’Souza and other cast members of Auntie Boss
Size 8 was the main guest in the regular Xtian Dela vlogs held on Facebook and she revealed quite a lot on her relationship with DJ Mo.
First of all it took quite the effort for DJ Mo to marry her as she’s not easily impressed. I mean, what did you expect, she was the hottest thing in gospel at the time DJ Mo was courting her.
And he was not the only one but made the cut because of his persistence and sacrifice. And when he finally got her, he didn’t waste time as he got right to it.
They have been together for quite a while but she still remembers the most romantic thing DJ Mo has ever done for her and it was him spending time in the kitchen and sprucing up breakfast for her. Now why she thought this was sweet was because DJ Mo can’t cook, not even to save his life.
And it gets interesting, Size 8 gives all the money she makes as he’s the one in charge of their finances. And since she’s a spend thrift, DJ Mo always has to stop her from spending money.
Like the 150 K she spent on hair just the other day.
Listen to her as she shares many more lessons about humility and submission which I can attest will not sit well with many Kenyan women:
Size 8 and DJ Mo opened a free day care and kindergarten in Buruburu phase 1 in 2015, it’s located in Mkondo court house no. 244.
The Size 8 runs the facility with money from her own hustles, she caters for over 60 kids and pays the salaries of teachers she has employed to take care of the kids.
“Size 8 takes care of more than 60kids ,their food ,and drinks ,uniform and teachers salary she pays herself -nao wazazi wanaenda kutafta -why do we complain ? We need to be more grateful to God daily,” DJ Mo wrote.
The gospel songstress was recently brought to tears by 8 year old girl she found at her kindergarten. Size 8 had visited the facility to replenish their supplies when she saw the girl, she was barely moving.
Size 8 was curious and went to talk to her. Teachers at the kindergarten told her the girl had mental illness and that she only drinks milk.
Size 8 was paralyzed with shock, she was overwhelmed with emotions that she struggled to contain herself so that she couldn’t shed tears.
