Kenyan musician Bahati has issued a public apology to football star Victor Wanyama and his ex-partner, Yvette Obura (Mama Mueni), for using their pictures in a promotional stunt ahead of his upcoming Netflix show launch.
The singer took to social media to address the controversy after facing backlash for sharing misleading images, which many believed hinted at personal drama involving the three.
In his apology, Bahati explained that the use of the photos was a strategy to create buzz around his Netflix project, but he admitted that it may have crossed a line.
“I sincerely apologize to Victor Wanyama and Mama Mueni for any inconvenience caused. My intention was not to hurt anyone but simply to build anticipation for the show,” he said.
Bahati’s move sparked mixed reactions online, with some fans calling it a clever marketing tactic, while others criticized it as disrespectful, particularly for involving individuals who were not part of the project.
