Kanyari Breaks Silence, Drops KSh 91M House Bomb to Win Back His Kids (WATCH)
The tragic passing of beloved gospel songbird Betty Bayo on November 10th (after a battle with acute myeloid leukaemia) left a massive void in the Kenyan entertainment scene—and a huge question mark over the future of her two beautiful children, Sky and Danivictor.
For weeks, the internet has been ablaze with debate: Should the kids stay with their devoted stepfather, Hiram Gitau (famously known as Tash), who has been raising them in their Edenville home? Or is it time for their biological father, the controversial and charismatic Pastor Victor Kanyari, to step up?
Now, the wait is over. Pastor Kanyari has finally broken his silence, and he didn’t just speak—he dropped an absolute bombshell!
Speaking to his congregation at Salvation Healing Ministries, Kanyari confirmed he is ready to take full, hands-on responsibility for his children. But he clarified that his initial silence wasn’t due to apathy; it was strategic.
“There is the father who sired them and the one who raised them. We are two fathers,” Kanyari stated, acknowledging Tash’s role. “That is why I did not rush. I am not a violent person. If I wanted conflict, I would have gone there with people and demanded my children. But I did not want war.”
He claims he deliberately held back to maintain peace during this incredibly emotional time.
But the real show-stopper? Kanyari has secured a luxurious residence in the upscale Runda neighborhood, ensuring his children transition into a life of comfort.
The Pastor’s Big Reveal: “I have bought a house so that the children can live there together with Betty’s sister,” he announced. “The house was going for around KSh 91 million. All the documentation is complete. I think this week I may take them and stay with them. I will raise them.”
While Kanyari has publicly declared his intentions and secured the Runda mansion, the path forward remains murky. The preacher failed to mention if he has spoken to Tash or Betty’s extended family, or if any formal legal process is being initiated to handle the custody change.
Currently, the children are still residing with Tash, the man they’ve known as their daily father figure.
Will this highly-anticipated move turn into a dramatic celebrity custody battle? Or will Kanyari and Tash manage a peaceful, structured handover for the sake of Sky and Danivictor?
The public is watching every single development in this emotional and high-stakes chapter following the loss of gospel icon Betty Bayo.
