Bahati reveals juicy secret about Diana and Wanyama.

Kevin Bahati was recently questioned about sharing a throwback photo of Diana Marua and Victor Wanyama.

The photo sparked controversy on June 3rd, 2024, as many Kenyans believed it was genuine, only to later find out that it was a promotional tactic for their new Netflix show, ‘The Bahati’s Empire’. 

In an interview with Betty Kyallo on TV 47, the couple addressed the viral image, with Bahati explaining that he and Wanyama were friends.

“Why should I ask Wanyama if I can post the photo while it is him and his friend? Let me tell you something. I never said anything. Wanyama and Mariga are my friends. I even campaigned for Mariga in Kibra.”

“At times you see rumours, and when you are quiet, they fuel more rumours. But when you show people that it’s normal, they will keep quiet,” he said.

He concluded by explaining that he refrained from addressing the malicious allegations to protect everyone involved, especially his adopted son.

“Most of my fans know that I adopted my son. When the photo was trending a while back, I don’t think Wanyama had a thick skin like I have, and so one day it was trending, and it’s a cruel social media world. It got to him. If I came out to address it, it would not help anyone. I chose to be sarcastic about it and move on,” Bahati explained.

For her part, Diana also revealed her exasperation at netizens’ constant musings about her friendships.

“You don’t want me to have friends? I can’t take pictures with people, or is it because he is a celebrity?” Marua asked.

She also disclosed that the stunt was hatched by the crew working at EMB Records which her hubby owns.
