Kenyan singer Bahati has been making headlines with his recent post introducing his biological daughter Mueni Bahati to the world after a two-year estrangement. The post, however, sparked controversy when he credited his current lover Diana Marua for being there for him, without acknowledging his baby mama Yvette Obura's role in their daughter's life.
On July 25, 2019, Bahati took to social media to express his gratitude to Diana, saying, "…Before anything, I’d like to acknowledge and thank the Love of My Life #Diana ❤️ for being there for me in all situations…."
Yvette Obura, Bahati's baby mama, has since broken her silence, stating that she never liked the way Bahati posted photos of their daughter with his lover without her consent. This has sparked a heated debate among fans, with many questioning Bahati's decision to introduce Diana to his fans before his baby mama.
