Kenyan singer Bahati surprised fans by publicly apologizing to both his baby mama, Yvette Obura, and footballer Victor Wanyama.
The apology followed months of rumors linked to a viral photo from 2020 that featured Bahati’s wife, Diana Marua, and Victor Wanyama, sparking speculation about their relationship. In June 2024, Bahati re-shared the photo across his social media platforms, fueling public curiosity over whether he had consulted Wanyama beforehand. When questioned, Bahati downplayed the need for permission, explaining his friendship with both Wanyama and Mariga, Wanyama’s brother. “Wanyama and Mariga are my friends; I even campaigned for Mariga in Kibra,” Bahati stated, emphasizing that silence only fuels speculation.
