Kenyan singer Bahati set tongues wagging on June 3rd with a cryptic Instagram post. He shared an old photo of his wife, Diana Marua, alongside footballer Victor Wanyama, simply adding a heartbreak emoji.
Fans, friends, and even celebrities were left confused, sparking immediate speculation about the couple’s marital status. The situation escalated with reports of Bahati and Diana unfollowing each other and wiping their Instagram clean of joint photos.
However, the drama turned out to be a staged performance. It was all a publicity stunt by Bahati and Diana to promote their new reality show, “‘The Bahatis Empire.'” This isn’t the first time the couple has used such tactics to generate buzz for their projects.
Butita Reacts to The Bahatis antics
Comedian Eddie Butita playfully poked fun at their antics during the show’s launch event on June 6th. While congratulating them, he took the opportunity to “roast” Bahati in front of the Deputy President. Butita jokingly shared “secrets” about Bahati’s early struggles and love of attention-grabbing tactics.
The audience roared with laughter as Butita playfully defined “clout” in Bahati’s world, including creating controversies and avoiding romantic outings due to a fear of wild animals (at the National Park).
