Gospel artiste Betty Bayo is making headlines after a scandalous WhatsApp chat supposedly involving her and a married man, Martin, went viral, igniting a firestorm of rumors and controversy on social media.
The bombshell conversation features Martin laying out his intentions to have a serious relationship with Betty, saying, “Betty, I told you that I wanted you. I mean it. I want it to be committed.”
He even went so far as to promise a furnished house, stating, “I will furnish the house to make you feel like the queen you are. Bayo, you deserve me.”
Despite Martin’s advances, the woman referred to as Betty Bayo made it abundantly clear that she does not engage with married men.
However, in a shocking turn, Martin proposed a scheme to maintain a false public image.
He suggested that Betty marry a younger man, offering to pay him Ksh100,000 per month to masquerade as her husband, with the stipulation that there be no physical intimacy involved.
“Get a young man and marry him for public image. I pay him 100k monthly to act as your husband. But he should never touch you,” he said.
To keep their alleged affair under wraps, Martin went as far as to advise Betty to choose a dark-skinned man for this fake marriage so that any potential children wouldn’t raise eyebrows.
Betty firmly replied, “Do you realize I am a born-again Christian who respects the marriage institution?” To which Martin shockingly responded, “That makes the two of us.”
As the chat swept across the internet, Betty Bayo took to social media to address the scandal head-on.
Sharing a screenshot of the exchange, she asked her followers, “What is this? I saw myself trending. Is there another Betty? Don’t they know that I am married?”
In her post, she made it clear that she rejects the narrative being spread about her, tagging her current husband to reinforce her commitment and urging fans to stop the circulation of falsehoods.
Betty has a complicated history, famously going through a public divorce from Pastor Kanyari in 2015, which attracted significant media attention. D
espite that chapter of her life, she appears to have moved on, finding stability and joy in her current relationship with a man named Tash. Her recent social media updates reflect a newfound sense of peace and satisfaction.
On another note, Betty’s ex, Pastor Kanyari, is also back in the news as he looks for love again, even taking to TikTok to find a new partner.
As both Betty and Kanyari navigate the ever-watchful eye of the public, it seems they are both committed to charting their own courses forward.
