Musician Bahati, also known as Kevin Kioko, and his wife Diana Marua recently delighted their devoted followers with a humorous video shared online. In collaboration with Terence Creative, they portrayed the impact of ‘Wababaz’ (sponsors) on young relationships.
In the video, Terence assumed the role of Diana’s ‘mubaba’ while she was simultaneously in a relationship with Bahati. To complicate matters, Diana misled her sponsor by claiming that Bahati was just a gay friend. The ‘Mubaba’ was delighted that the gay friend was taking good care of his sweetheart and rewarded him with a substantial amount of money. Faced with the temptation of the cash, Bahati reluctantly agreed to pose as Diana’s gay friend, leading to an amusing alteration in his dress code.
Reflecting on the video, Bahati captioned, “See the end and please don’t judge me. But why are Wababaz and sponsors doing this to our children in the hood. Pesa inatukosea, vijana tutafute pesa” (Money is causing us trouble, young people, let’s seek money).
The video sparked diverse reactions, with Eddie Butita jokingly accusing Terence of recruiting comedians without permission. SPM Buzz CEO laughed it off, stating, “Terence, stop recruiting comedians without our permission.”
Diana Marua found the video amusing, expressing, “And we managed to do this, I am on the floor.”
Terence’s wife, Milly Chebby, also commented, revealing that they successfully created the perfect video after a 10-hour shoot. She said, “Lambistic sh*t we killed it after 10 hours of shooting fam.”
The video prompted additional reactions, with individuals such as Sarantha and Diana Shish sharing their thoughts on the humorous portrayal. Sarantha joked about Willy Paul, suggesting that he wishes to cry to be given a trending topic, while Diana Shish speculated that Bahati accepted the situation for financial gain.
Mandee expressed concern about someone considering Terence a role model in Kenya, while Chali wa Taveta criticized Bahati’s decision, attributing it to Pastor Ezekiel’s warning about marrying Diana.
