“I am in love again, guys, and I am so happy. And I feel good, and I love Fame so much, as she is the partner I want and the love of my life,” she said.
In the same video, she is seen looking cheerful as she cosies up to her girlfriend Fame, whom she described as her wife, and even gave her an intimate hug while holding her tummy.
In the same video, she is also seen in the company of social media personality Marion Naipei, who is among the latest public figures to join the self-proclaimed prophet’s Njiiru-based church.
Quitting Kanyari’s church
Manzi, who was famed for being part of late TikToker Brian Chira’s inner circle, announced that she had found it necessary to leave Kanyari’s church in a video shared on her page on April 13, 2026.
At the time, she spoke fondly about the televangelist, describing how he had lifted her from humble beginnings and even recalling how he had helped her start a wines and spirits business when she was at her lowest.
“Thank you so much, Pastor Kanyari. I am here to show my gratitude and I am here to say thank you so much because you have been my destiny helper and you have been supporting me in the business that I had. You kept supporting me even when the business seemed like it was failing,” she said.
The TikToker further narrated that Kanyari had also been supporting her children and thanked him, noting that she could not fully express how grateful she was for his help.
However, she said her lesbian status and personal choices had often placed Kanyari at the centre of criticism and noted that she had found it necessary to leave his church for his peace and for her to also live her truth.
“I have never slept hungry any day, and my kids also have never been sent home due to school fees. You have received so much criticism because of people like me, but you never hated me despite opening up to you about the fact that I am a lesbian. So I have officially quit your church,” she said.
