Controversial pastor Victor Kanyari has sparked mixed reactions online after sharing multiple screenshots of private conversations he had with his late ex-wife, gospel singer Betty Bayo.
Barely hours after Betty was laid to rest, Kanyari took to social media, posting screenshots showing Betty frequently reaching out to him for money to cater for their children’s school needs and other bills.
The posts, shared without captions, left many of his followers confused and questioning his intentions.
A section of social media users wondered why Kanyari chose to post the screenshots so soon after the burial.
Many concluded that he was attempting to demonstrate that he had always been a responsible father who provided for his two children with Betty.

Others, however, praised him, noting that the chats clearly showed he had played his parental role dutifully.
Some netizens went as far as suggesting that Betty’s partner, Tash, had allegedly not been as supportive, implying that the musician relied heavily on Kanyari during her lifetime.
Below are some reactions from Kenyans:

Betty Bayo was laid to rest on Thursday, November 20, at her property in Mugumo Estate along Kiambu Road.
Her body was transferred from the Kenyatta University Mortuary earlier that morning before the funeral procession headed to Ndumberi Stadium in Kiambu County, where hundreds gathered to pay their final respects.
The burial ceremony attracted a massive crowd, including high-ranking government officials, celebrities, and devoted fans. Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, former presidential aspirant George Wajackoyah, and former Public Service Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria were among the notable political figures in attendance.
The entertainment industry was also well represented, with prominent personalities turning up to honour the gospel star.
Judging by the overwhelming turnout, it is evident that Betty was deeply loved and cherished by Kenyans from all walks of life.
