Controversy surrounds Pastor Victor Kanyari after he leaked WhatsApp messages with his late ex-wife, gospel musician Betty Bayo, following her death on November 10 from leukaemia. The leaks aim to demonstrate his involvement in co-parenting their two children amidst a public debate over custody.

• The newly released chats detail exchanges regarding their children's medical expenses, school fees of up to KSh 54,875, and even a UK summer camp requiring over KSh 450,000.
• Bayo’s widower, Hiram “Tash” Gitau, is also considered for custody, with social media polarized on whether the children should stay with their biological father Pastor Kanyari or Tash.
• One exchange shows Bayo confirming receipt of KSh 40,000 and KSh 20,000 for a visa application, and another thanking Kanyari for KSh 50,000 for their daughter's acting school.

Pastor Victor Kanyari has agreed to let his children with the late musician Betty Bayo remain with Bayo’s widower, Hiram Gitau (also known as Tash), despite previous speculation about a custody battle. Kanyari stated his decision was driven by compassion for Tash’s grief and a desire to avoid conflict, encouraging a co-parenting arrangement.

• Pastor Victor Kanyari confirmed his decision to let the children stay with Betty Bayo's widower, Hiram Gitau (Tash).
• The custody discussion followed Betty Bayo's burial and a leaked audio clip.
• Kanyari expressed his wish to avoid conflict, stating, “I don’t want to fight. I just want to stay a good person.”
• The arrangement will require Kanyari and Tash to co-parent the children.
