Sauti Sol member Bien Aime Barasa stunned fans by proposing to longtime partner Chiki through an elaborate cinematic setup, later sharing a provocative dance video with her that generated widespread online attention.
The couple's romantic display followed Barasa's decision to rent an entire theater for the proposal, which included family and friends. Chiki later expressed her surprise and joy, calling it the 'easiest yes' she had ever given.
In a subsequent video, the engaged pair performed a suggestive dance routine to Bensoul's track 'Lucy,' a song released under Sauti Sol's label Sol Generation. The performance, which featured close physical contact, encouraged other couples to participate in a social media challenge.
Chiki's emotional reaction to the proposal was captured in a quoted statement: 'I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS AT ALL! HIRING OUT A CINEMA, ALL MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS INVOLVED. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. EASIEST YES I’VE EVER SAID.' The video has since circulated widely on platforms like Instagram and Twitter.
