The story involving Bahati, Pastor Ezekiel, and Diana Marua has ignited significant public interest and sparked intense debate. It serves as a striking example of a clash between a prominent musician and a religious leader over matters of marriage and relationships.
At the center of the controversy is a controversial claim made by Pastor Ezekiel, suggesting that women named Diana tend to exert control over their husbands and experience short-lived marriages due to their perceived lack of submission to their spouses. This assertion, urging men not to marry “Dianas,” has evoked strong reactions. It is essential to acknowledge that sweeping generalizations about individuals based on their names lack factual basis and can be harmful.
Renowned Kenyan singer Bahati vehemently opposed Pastor Ezekiel’s commentary. He accused the pastor of misleading his congregation and highlighted his own happy seven-year marriage to Diana Marua. In a bold challenge to both parties and to express unwavering support for his wife, Bahati posed a question: “TRUE or FALSE.”
“Is this a TRUE or FALSE Prophet??? Somebody tell this Pastor to Stop Misleading the Church. @Diana_Marua and I are Celebrating 7 Golden Years of Marriage This Coming October 20th. DIANAS ARE THE BEST!!!”
Diana Marua, the wife of musician Bahati, further intensified the controversy by accusing Pastor Ezekiel of being a habitual liar, citing his own family as an example. Her comments not only reinforced Bahati’s stance but also introduced a personal dimension.
“Don’t be Married to Ezekiel’s!!! They will look at you straight in your eyes and LIE! Is this the same Ezekiel that was part of SHAKAHOLA MASSACRE????” she questioned.
Adding to the emotional intensity of this dispute was the revelation of a more personal and emotional aspect of Bahati’s life—the discharge of his daughter, Malaika, from the hospital during this controversy. The heightened emotions surrounding this conflict may be connected to this development.
It is noteworthy that Bahati, Diana Marua, and KRG The Don have all joined UDA, a political party. While this may seem like a separate development, it contributes to the broader context of the situation.
