Kenyan Gospel Singer Betty Bayo Exposes Her Former Husband, Pastor Victor Kanyari
Kenyan gospel singer Betty Bayo has accused her former husband, Pastor Victor Kanyari of neglecting their children.
Speaking during an interview with Radio Jambo, the popular musician said the controversial clergyman contributes little to the welfare of the children they had together before divorcing.
This, she said, is despite Kanyari leading a flashy lifestyle featuring expensive houses and fuel guzzlers.
“We are neither enemies nor friends, but we coordinate where it is possible. He is a stingy man who only provides little for his children,” she said.
“Don’t think he is that man you wake up and ask him for everything. He helps kidogo but I believe as a woman you are not supposed to depend fully on men, so I provide for them. With an attitude like mine, unaumia coz not all men can provide without being reminded.”
The two separated in 2015 after the "man of God" was exposed by an investigative journalist for conning innocent Kenyans and performing fake miracles.
The "11th Hour’ hit-maker said she tried to save her marriage over fears of what people would say but later realized it was not worth it.
“I don’t miss Kanyari. I am so occupied with life and I even don’t follow up on what he does. I am enjoying the freedom of being single. Every marriage has issues. There are those you can stand but others you can’t. It is every woman’s dream to have a family, but I learnt that it is good to never cover up for the wrong things just because of love. If it is not working, walk out. Don’t die because of what people will say after you walk out.”
She further dismissed claims that she got a baby out of their wedlock “It has been three years since I left and when the time comes, I will get married again to a good person, because I don’t want to find myself in a similar situation,” she said.
“I wish there was something I would have done to save the marriage, but I tried my best. All my kids are his but everyone has a right to say what they want. You can’t be affected if you know your truth.”
