Diana Marua distances herself from Bahati’s new music direction
By Paulette Mboga, October 1, 2025Diana Marua has released a statement clarifying her position after Bahati made a music comeback with a new song and video that has raised questions.
The mother of three said she respects Bahati’s choices as an artiste but made it clear that her focus is separate from his current music path. In her official statement on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, Diana stressed that she is fully committed to her personal ventures.
She explained that her priorities remain her businesses, partnerships, and the brands that trust her. According to her, this requires her to carry herself in a way that reflects responsibility, growth, and the values she believes in.
Protecting her brand and family
Diana pointed out that her decision is rooted in the need to respect her family, her partners, and the people who look up to her. She said that while she supports Bahati’s journey as an artist, she will not involve herself in the music direction he has recently taken.
“I respect his journey as an artist and the choices he makes for his career, but I want to be clear, my focus is different,” her statement read in part.
She said that her brand is important to her and she must protect it. To her, this also means being intentional about the kind of content and spaces she aligns herself with.
Diana highlighted that her supporters and brand partners expect her to carry herself with dignity and to reflect growth, which is why she is setting clear boundaries.
Focus on growth and responsibility
In her message, Diana thanked all her supporters and partners who continue to walk with her in her journey. She explained that she believes in supporting one another, but she also believes strongly in protecting the spaces she is building.
Her remarks come shortly after Bahati released his latest song, marking his official return to music. While his comeback has drawn different reactions, Diana made it clear that her focus remains on building her businesses and nurturing her role as a public figure who values growth and responsibility.
With this statement, Diana has separated her brand from Bahati’s music while still expressing respect for his career choices.
