On the same day, she shared a personal moment with her husband, Hiram Gitau, posting a photo of them outside a field.

Cancer battle
Betty had been battling acute leukaemia and died due to complications from excessive bleeding.
She was first admitted to AAR Hospital on Kiambu Road before being transferred to Kenyatta National Hospital’s private wing on Friday, November 7, 2025.
Speaking at Kenyatta National Hospital on Monday, November 10, 2025, a family representative standing alongside Betty’s husband, Hiram Gitau, her ex-husband, Pastor Victor Kanyari, and other close family members, confirmed the singer’s passing at 1:03 pm.
The representative explained that Betty had been unwell since the previous week and that despite the doctors’ best efforts, her condition could not be reversed.
“We are here at Kenyatta National Hospital’s private wing. The spouse, the father of their children, and friends of Betty Bayo want to inform the public that today at 1:03 pm, we have lost Betty, and it is no longer a rumour,” the representative said.
The representative indicated that arrangements were in progress to move her body to Kenyatta University Referral Hospital, and that further communications regarding memorials and funeral plans would be shared in due course.
