1. Maurine Kabu breaks silence after allegations she's in relationship with dad: "Biggest mentor"
Travel company businessman Simon Kabu’s ex-wife, Sarah Mtalii, has left many stunned after alleging in court documents that he introduced Maurine as his daughter while concealing her true identity.
Maurine Kabu responded not with statements, heaping praise on his dad for mentoring her.
However, some questioned if it was true she was dating her father, while others shared words of encouragement and urged her not to let Sarah's words get to her.
2. Samidoh's Homecoming: Drama as politicians Sharleen Wambui and Samuel Ireri trade blows
Kikuyu musician Samidoh Muchoki's highly anticipated homecoming lit up a packed Nairobi venue, with the Mugithi sensation electrifying fans through powerful performances.
But the night took a dramatic turn when tensions erupted, culminating in a physical fight between a prominent politician linked to President William Ruto’s family and a rival.
A viral video of the brawl left with mixed reactions as many questioned what may have led to the fight.
The politicians identified as Sharleen Wambui and Samuel Ireri got many to pause their fun moments to try and quench their brawl.
The show, however, continued after the two were separated, even as the crowd chanted anti-government slogans.
3. VJ Patelo: Parents of groom in viral wedding video speak
TikTok sensation Patelo and Diana tied the knot in a wedding unlike any other, sparking endless talk among Kenyans.
The viral couple held a lavish wedding at the Naiposha grounds, but it was the tipsy groom and his crew, the bride not having any bridesmaids and the elegant setting that raised debate.
The couple opened up about their love story, sources of income, and careers, but remained silent about the authenticity of their romance.
However, a video emerged of Patelo's parent speaking, days after they were seen walking him down the aisle.
"Welcome all, my name is Caroline Akinyi Ochieng, and I am from Migori. Be free today," said the groom's pretty mum.
Some netizens questioned if the couple was Patelo's biological parents, while others commended them for showing up to support their son.
