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.
