Bonding with family: Betty Bayo's sister dines with Tash amid custody drama

This story has significance for readers across Kenya and beyond.

- A TikTok video showing Betty Bayo's sister sharing a meal with the late singer's widower, Tash, has set tongues wagging online

- The footage emerged as Tash remains locked in a fierce custody battle with Betty's ex-husband, Pastor Victor Kanyari

- Kanyari had previously alleged that Betty's family did not approve of Tash, making the dinner video particularly significant

A video making the rounds on TikTok has Kenyans talking after Betty Bayo's sister was filmed enjoying a meal with the late gospel singer's widower, Hiram Gitau, popularly known as Tash.

The clip, posted on 20 August 2026, shows Tash seated at a dining table wearing a Chicago White Sox cap, a dark t-shirt and a chain necklace, tucking into a plate of food with what appears to be Betty's sister.

A phone sits on the table beside him, and the mood is relaxed and casual.

Why the video has Kenyans talking

The timing of the footage is what has caught everyone's attention. Tash is currently in the middle of a bitter custody dispute over Betty Bayo's children, Sky and Danny, with the late singer's former husband, Pastor Victor Kanyari.

The two men have exchanged public accusations, with Kanyari going as far as claiming that Betty's family had no love lost for Tash and alleging he was not a suitable guardian for the children.

Betty's close friend Shiro Stuart also weighed in at some point, claiming that Tash had been manipulating the kids, adding further fuel to an already charged situation.

The image of Betty's sister breaking bread with Tash, therefore, struck many viewers as a direct contradiction of Kanyari's narrative about the family's feelings toward the widower.

The custody battle background

Betty Bayo passed away and left behind two children, Sky and Danny, whose custody has become a deeply public and contested matter.

Kanyari, who was Betty's first husband and the father of one of her children, has been vocal in challenging Tash's role in the children's lives, making the apparent warmth between Tash and Betty's sister all the more striking to observers following the case.
