The family of late gospel singer Betty Bayo, who passed away on Monday, November 10 from advanced blood cancer at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), is grappling with conflicting accounts surrounding her final days. Her brother, Edward Kang’ethe Mbugua, revealed the family was unaware of her serious illness.

• Betty Bayo’s brother, Edward Kang’ethe Mbugua, stated the family only learned of her advanced blood cancer just before her death, contradicting claims by gospel artist Shiru wa GP.
• The mother of two passed away at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), with her condition already deteriorated when the family was notified.
• Public debate has erupted over why Betty’s friends were aware of her illness while her family reportedly was not.
• The welfare of her children, Sky and Danivictor, is also a concern, with Mbugua suggesting they live with their biological father, Pastor Victor Kanyari.

A family dispute has erupted following the burial of gospel singer Betty Bayo, with her brother, Edward Mbugua, publicly challenging the marital status of her widower, Hiram Gitau (Tash), and staking a claim for the custody of the children.

• Edward Mbugua claims Tash and Betty Bayo were never legally married, suggesting their ruracio (traditional marriage) was incomplete.
• The family exclusively recognizes Pastor Victor Kanyari as the biological father of Sky and Danny, advocating for his full custody.
• Mbugua demands all of Betty Bayo’s assets be consolidated under the names of her children, Sky and Danny, asserting he was involved in her financial planning.

Kenyan musician Bahati (Kevin Kioko) has publicly addressed viral social media claims from two elderly individuals alleging to be his long-lost biological parents, urging them to respect his late mother's memory amidst his emotional distress.

• Two separate viral videos featured a woman claiming to be Bahati's mother and a man claiming to be his father, both citing poverty as the reason for his abandonment.
• Bahati expressed confusion and pain, stating his mother died over 25 years ago and he personally attended her burial, questioning, "So what should I do?"
• He vehemently denied the situation was a publicity stunt, despite his reputation for "kiki" (dramatic antics), calling it a "serious issue" that is "very emotional."
