Musician and politician-in-waiting Bahati is under fresh fire, this time from comedian Pamela Aely, who says she left his much-talked-about event without a single bite of food.
The event in question was Bahati’s so-called “Big Day” with wife Diana Marua, held on November 6.
Promoted as a grand wedding celebration with entry pegged at KSh 1 million per invite, the evening took a sharp turn when Bahati used the platform to announce his 2027 bid for the Mathare parliamentary seat.
He later admitted the wedding framing was a deliberate publicity strategy, which drew widespread criticism over the perceived deception.
Did Bahati deny content creators food?
In a video posted on Wednesday, November 11, Pamela did not hold back. She claimed that guests who had not paid the KSh 1 million entry fee were turned away from the food, something she said left her stunned.
“I don’t know how Bahati will take this, but we were denied food. I was surprised; if he can deny us food, will he win the Mathare seat?” she said.
She noted that when she asked about the food situation, she was told it was reserved for paying guests. The comedian, clearly unimpressed, delivered a sharp summary of the night:
“I went to a wedding, then it turned political. Food is important. We must eat.”
Pamela added that in all her years of attending events, being sent home without food was a first.
She said she returned home after 1am and had to scramble for something to eat.
“I came to realise Bahati is stingy with food. I did not like it. I arrived home at 1am and had to start looking for food,” she said.
The clip quickly gained traction online, with many Kenyans siding with the comedian’s candid take.
