On Tuesday, a Nairobi court ruled that Joseph Mwangi, Wendy Waeni's ex-manager, will spend five more days in police custody.
The decision allows police to complete their investigations into claims that Mwangi threatened Waeni's mother.
According to investigators, Mwangi is a flight risk and had planned to fly out of the country to London.
Waeni had previously accused Mwangi of stealing from her and her mother, alleging that she had not received any payment for her performances over the past five years.
During an interview on Citizen TV's JKL show, Waeni stated, 'I've been performing all over the world, and right now I live in Huruma because of Joe Mwangi. I've performed in Rwanda, Germany, and China… and I've not got even a single penny. My mum is really suffering right now, she sells sweets, I live in Huruma in a single-room with her.'
Mwangi denied the allegations, accusing Waeni of 'reading from a script' and her mother of mismanaging funds from a performance in Rwanda.
