Nominated senator Karen Nyamu clout-chased for Bahati and Diana Marua’s new reality show before details of the upcoming production were made public.
In a bid to catalyze excitement for their forthcoming project, Bahati and Diana Marua recently ignited a tempest of speculation and controversy, enmeshing Karen Nyamu in their intricately staged breakup stunt.
The orchestrated drama unfolded on social media, ensnaring audiences in a web of intrigue.
The saga commenced with Bahati’s Instagram post, a seemingly innocuous sharing of an old photograph featuring his wife alongside footballer Victor Wanyama, garnished with heartbreak-laden emojis.
In an unexpected turn, Karen Nyamu interjected, hinting at infidelity within the marital confines.
“I knew one day diana atapatikana. Iv seen them many times kwa gym na huyu msee (I knew one day Diana would be caught, I have seen them many times together at the gym),” Karen Nyamu commented on Bahati’s post, igniting a wildfire of speculation.
As netizens feverishly speculated on the veracity of the apparent rift, Bahati added fuel to the fire with a subsequent post, this time featuring his ex-partner Yvette Obura and their daughter, Faith Mueni, attired in graduation regalia.
Captioned with enigmatic phrases such as “I wish I knew” and adorned with a mournful emoji, the post deepened the mystery surrounding the couple’s relationship status.
Further complicating matters, Bahati and Diana Marua embarked on a strategic campaign of social media disengagement, unfollowing each other on Instagram to lend credence to their staged breakup.
Yet, as the dust settled, the truth behind the meticulously orchestrated spectacle emerged. Bahati and Diana Marua confessed to the stunt’s contrivance, unveiling it as a calculated manoeuvre to drum up anticipation for their upcoming reality show, ‘The Bahati’s Empire,’ set to debut on Netflix.
“We Were the First Kenyan Family to have a Reality on a National TV (Being Bahati on NTV) and now we Make History as the First Kenyan Family to Have a Reality Show on Netflix 🔥 All Glory Goes to Our Lord Jesus Christ 🙏,” Bahati and Diana Marua jointly announced on social media, putting an end to the speculation.
“IT’S OFFICIAL!
