The Bahatis are Kenya’s Kadarshians and here’s why

Bahati is one of the most loved and reviled Kenyan celebrities in equal measure and equal intensity. The guys who love him do so from the bottom of their hearts and those that can’t stand him wouldn’t piss on him if he were set ablaze.
And that is true for his wife Diana Marua.

“Mtoto wa Diana!” Khaligraph Jones hits out at Bahati and Diana’s marriage, he responds

But their marriage, even as discussed and gossiped about as it is, is one of their biggest business brands. Bahati and his wife have managed to do what only the Kardashians could; make a business out of their day-to-day mundane family lives.

When the reality TV show Keeping Up With The Bahatis or whatever it was called, Kenyans hated on it and the content of the show. It trended on Twitter with Kenyans on the platform sharing their unsolicited opinions of the show and their take on who Bahati is as the head of his household. But they tuned in every week regardless.
Blogs reported on the content of the show which is a very good barometer of just how popular the show was. Entertainment blogs as most of you do not know, are business entities so they have to sit where their readers do and report on what brings in said target audience.

Relationship goals! Diana Marua steps in to defend husband, Bahati after Khaligraph Jones’ new diss track

We watched Bahati navigate his co-parenting agreement with Yvette Obura and saw him mishandle her emotions. We saw him navigate his relationship with his wife and their children aswell as deal with her relationship with his baby mama.
We watched Bahati fail and succeed and we cheered and jeered along. Isn’t this exactly what we do with the Kardashians? We embed ourselves in their lives as if we are the flies on the wall and we watch with an almost morbid fascination anticipating their next stumble or fall.

I mean, even Bahati’s marriage to Diana Marua has formed such juicy content for WhatsApp groups and blogs just as Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s relationship has. We watch Bahati and his wife squabble about issues such as his focus on his work and their fights and argue over whether they are staged or real-life issues.

Why the Kenyan contemporary gospel scene is struggling

We have watched Bahati go from being Mtoto wa Mama to becoming a star and growing the resultant ego that has made him an ass.
And guess what, we will continue to do so if we are given the opportunity to.

Bahati and Diana Marua embrace the word “Shosh” after Kenyans troll them

Ever since gospel singer Bahati and wife Diana Marua broke up with Mr Seed and his wife Nimo, Kenyans haven’t been easy on them, especially, Marua.

The two have been trending for the wrong reasons after they called police on Mr Seed’s wife during a New Years party and in the end, Kenyans ended up claiming that an older Marua is manipulating Bahati.

In the process, Marua was nicknamed Shosh(grandma) by Kenyans since she’s six years older than Bahati. Marua, however, said she has a tough skin adding that the name doesn’t disturb her.

“Does it bother me that Bahati is younger than me? It doesn’t bother me. All that matters is that I love him.” She said.

Tough skin

Since then, the two have been embracing the joke and have taken to social media to mock Kenyans by captioning their photos Shosh.

“#favor   yaani the way god is increasing your numbers & influence itabidi utoe wimbo  – glory to god… babe nimekudedicatia song, unaskiza my love a.k.a “shosh” wa bahaa ameivaaa .” Bahati said in one photo. 

 

“I love Bahati no matter our age difference” Diana Marua continues to defend age gap 

Over and over again Diana Marua, wife to gospel singer Bahati has defended their six-year difference saying that it means nothing in their relationship.

The 31-year-old it seems, hasn’t answered the question enough times, and keeps addressing it over and over again. In a recent interview, Marua insisted that settling for a younger lover hasn’t changed her feelings for him.

She was asked if the age difference bothers her as Kenyans keep trolling her over the issue to which she vehemently denied.

“What do you mean if it bothers me Bahati is younger than me? It does not bother me, all that matters is that I love him, period,” Diana said.

Trolls

Marua was recently trolled by Kenyans who claim she’s manipulating her 25-year-old husband. This is after she allegedly arm-twisted Bahati into calling police officers on a pregnant Nimo, Mr seeds’ wife during New Years party in Thika.

 

Diana Marua to Weezdom and Mr Seed: I was made to stand out, not to fit in

Bahati’s wife Diana Marua has been facing a lot of backlash for the better part of last week after gospel singer Weezdom and Mr Seed accused her of manipulating and turning Bahati into a different person.

Mr Seed’s wife Nimo blew everything out after claiming that Marua forced Bahati to call police on her. Mr Seed had to leave his record label after that and the two haven’t been seeing eye to eye.

Days later, Weezdom also left the record label saying that Marua ruined everything at EMB by over-controlling Bahati.

Not shaken

Well, as Kenyans descended on Marua calling her out for her alleged acts, it seems she hasn’t been shaken by the accusations.

On Instagram she sent a few posts throwing shade to Nimo, Weezdom and Mr Seed.

“Being taken to levels I never thought I’d get to because I was made to stand out, not to fit in…. ayeeee,” she posted. 

She later made another post implying she’s Bahati’s pillar.

”Pillars are meant to stand strong. When God blesses you, you owe no one an explanation,” she wrote.
