Before her untimely death, gospel singer Betty Bayo shared a selfie taken from her hospital bed at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH). In the photo, she looked tired but strong, showing the reality of her battle with leukemia. The image was simple yet powerful — it revealed what life in the hospital truly feels like.
Many Kenyans reacted with love and admiration. They praised Betty for her bravery and faith, saying her photo would inspire others facing sickness. “Even in pain, she was strong,” one fan commented. Others said the picture gave them hope and reminded them to be thankful for life.
However, not everyone agreed. Some people felt it was wrong to take or share a hospital selfie, arguing that sickness should remain private. This sparked heated discussions online, with opinions divided between those who saw it as inspirational and those who saw it as too personal.
Tragically, just a few hours after sharing that photo, Betty Bayo passed away on Monday. Doctors confirmed that she had been battling blood cancer (leukemia). Her selfie has since become her final image — a lasting reminder of her bravery and faith even in her final moments.
Today, people continue to share the photo, describing it as a symbol of strength, courage, and truth. It reminds many that life is short, and every moment matters. Her smile, her calmness, and her strength in that final photo have touched countless hearts.
Even in death, Betty Bayo’s last selfie tells a powerful story — one of hope, resilience, and the beauty of courage. She will always be remembered not just for her music, but for her unshakable spirit in the face of pain.
